The new paladin FEAT Excoriate is now live for level 30+ paladins! This also includes the release of the Ardor of the Scourge boon, as detailed below.
Name: Excoriate [excoriate]

Cooldown: 15s
Stamina Cost: 0

Available to: Paladins
Description: Empowered by your patron, excoriate your foe with searing power.
Mechanics: Available to Paladins of level 30 or above. Make a magical offensive maneuver that, if successful, will cause plasma damage and apply a -20% plasma resistance status effect to a single target. The effect is consumed by the next damage from plasma, Repentance (1615), or Judgment (1630) within 30 seconds.
After landing 5 Excoriates, your next Excoriate will have an increased damage factor and will affect 2 targets if present. If only 1 target is present, it will be struck twice. Additionally, the negative plasma resistance status effect is increased to -40%.
Excoriate has a 20% chance to grant the paladin Ardor of the Scourge for 30 seconds. Ardor of the Scourge is consumed by the next Weapon Technique: Assault and will empower the assault with +10 AS that stacks with each round, ignore the current assault cooldown, and incur no assault cooldown on use.
