Dominating Presence

Dominating Presence is a talent in the Crusher branch of the Windrose Talent System. Each kill within 8 meters refreshes or applies a 60-second melee damage buff. Duration does not scale per rank; only magnitude scales.

Build Role

Dominating Presence snowballs camp clears. The first kill triggers a 60-second melee damage buff that accelerates every subsequent kill in the same pull, and chained kills refresh the 60-second window.

Math Example

A first kill within 8m triggers rank-3 Dominating Presence's +18% melee damage for 60 seconds. A second kill within the window refreshes the 60-second clock. In a camp with six enemies clustered around a sergeant, the talent is usually active from kill 2 onward through the end of the fight.

Notes

• Stacks additively with Momentum's multi-hit bonus. Both together approach +45% on late-combo swings in dense camps.

• Does not trigger on boss-only fights because the boss itself is the only kill and there is no one to kill first.
