Icons on effect rows describe PvE/PvP scope, per-caster stacking, and stack behavior (stack, ignore, or replace). Other badges mark special flags such as copied boosts, ignored strength/resistance, or combat scaling. Hover or focus an icon for its full meaning.

Nightstalkers / Shadowwolf

Dire Howl

AoE, Energy · Energy

Enhancement Sets Allowed

You unleash a dreadful howl that strikes fear into those arrayed against you. Affected targets suffer energy damage, then negative energy damage over time as the howl's influence takes effect. Targets also suffer reduced resistance to all damage types. There is a small chance that a target will be rendered afraid by the howl, but any target so affected cannot be made afraid again for a long while.

Choose a player archetype to resolve effects. Enemy level 50.

Damage estimates are before enemy resistance and assume the attack hits. Mez duration is before target-specific mez resistance; rank settings show protection thresholds. Damage over time totals use listed duration, initial delay, tick interval, and per-tick chance.
