Sigil: Rancor

Lay a sigil on the ground that enrages those who enter and has a chance for enemies to attack one another.

Sigil: Rancor is the Warlock's second sigil (Chaos Skills, level 12, requires Sigil: Lethargy, unlocks Sigil: Death). It places a sigil missile on the ground, sigilrancorsmall, sigilrancormedium or sigilrancorlarge by level, and every enemy inside gets the sigilrancor state: more damage, more attack speed, and a chance to be turned against its neighbours. The numbers that decide it are the chance, 75% at every level, and the damage it hands out, +145% at level 20.

The numbers

• Mana is a flat 12 at every level (mana 12, lvlmana 0, manashift 8), so it is left out of the table.
• Radius is aurarangecalc, (lvl >= 20) ? 8 : (lvl >= 10) ? 6 : 4: 4 yards at levels 1 to 9, 6 from level 10 and 8 from level 20. prgcalc1 picks the small, medium or large missile by the same brackets. Param1 (7, "Radius") and Param2 (0) are not read by the range calc.
• Enemy damage is aurastatcalc1 on damagepercent: ln34, Param3 (50, "Damage Dealt %") plus Param4 (5) a level, so +50% at level 1, +95% at level 10, +145% at level 20 and +195% at level 30.
• Enemy attack speed is aurastatcalc2 on attackrate: ln56, Param5 (5, "Attack Speed % Baseline") plus Param6 (1) a level, +5% at level 1, +24% at level 20, +34% at level 30.
• Chance to enrage is calc1, the table's "Chance to confuse ai": a flat 75% at every level, so it is stated here rather than in the table.
• calc3 (1, "Missile Limit") allows one sigil at a time.
• Duration is the tooltip's line that reads the sigilrancorsmall row of missiles.txt (its range), not this skill's row, so this page cannot compute it.

The radius, damage and attack speed lines read lvl, so +skills from items count. There is no synergy term on the row.

How it works

The sigil is a missile on the ground with the sigil aura state; the state it puts on enemies is sigilrancor with a length of 12 frames (auralencalc 12, under half a second), so its stats last only while the sigil keeps renewing them on an enemy standing inside. The two stats are the enemy's own damagepercent and attackrate: an enraged enemy hits harder and faster, whoever it hits. calc1 is the chance, 75%, that the sigil confuses the enemy's AI, which is what the game's description calls attacking one another. The row has no damage, ToHit or SrcDam column: the sigil hurts nothing by itself.

The buff is on the enemy, and it is not conditional on the confusion: an enemy in a level 20 sigil that is still attacking you does so with +145% damage and +24% attack speed.

Synergies and +skills

No synergies: the row has no synergy calc and the skilldesc has no dsc3 line, and Sigil: Rancor feeds no other skill. +skills from items count for every line, so a +skill is worth as much as a hard point here. There is no mastery line on the row.

Against players

The sigil deals no damage, so the player-versus-player rule, which cuts a player's hit on another player to 17% (difficultylevels.txt PlayerDamagePercentVSPlayer, see Player versus Player), has nothing of this skill's to cut. The table has no separate player value for the damage and attack speed it grants or for the 75% chance.

Build notes

• The 75% chance is the whole point and does not change with level; one point gives it at 4 yards for 12 mana.
• Every level raises what the enemies inside deal, +5% damage and +1% attack speed a level, against you as well as each other.
• Level 10 and level 20 are the radius steps (6 and 8 yards); +skills reach them.
