Revision 6

You Will Answer for This is a talent in the Toughguy branch of the Windrose Talent System. Boosts the amount of Temporal Health generated when taking damage. Temporal Health is a regenerating grey bar overlay that ticks back as a buffer after hits.

Summary

Effect by Rank

Tree Placement

This is a Tier 1 talent in the Toughguy branch, so it unlocks early and does not require points spent deeper in the tree. It costs one point per rank for three ranks. As a defensive sustain node it sits opposite the offensive branches, and it only earns its place when the rest of the build can convert Temporal Health back into real health.

Leveling Priority

• Skip entirely on any build without a reclaim source. With no Plague Halberd or bleed weapon, the generated Temporal Health simply fades and the points are wasted.

• On a dedicated sustain build, take it alongside Retribution so damage taken and damage dealt feed the same loop. Max both before investing elsewhere in Toughguy.

• Respec is free, so you can pick this up situationally for a hard boss fight and refund it afterward through Stats and Talents.

Community Meta

Situational. Strong as part of a Plague weapon + Retribution sustain loop. Trap on every build that doesn't run a Temporal Health converting weapon.

Build Role

You Will Answer For This is the Temporal Health multiplier on the damage-taken side. Combined with Retribution on the damage-dealt side, it enables the Plague weapon self-sustain loop.

Math Example

A 100-damage hit at rank 0 creates approximately 40 Temporal Health (40% standard conversion). At rank 3 (+75% Temporal Health gain), the same hit creates 70 Temporal Health, which is available to reclaim by dealing damage back. Over a 5-hit exchange, the available reclaim pool grows from 200 to 350 HP.

Notes

• Only useful if the build has a way to reclaim the Temporal Health (Plague weapons, Rapier of a Thousand Cuts Epic). Non-reclaim builds see no benefit because the Temporal Health just fades.

• Trap on builds that do not run Plague or Bleed weapons.
