Against the will of the Patriarchs, Cesar kept a lock of her hair, weaving it into his bracers. They filled him with calm, just as she always had. He never spoke of her again, but neither did he forget.
Strike While the Crowd Control Holds
Cesar's Memento turns any form of crowd control into a damage window. Blind, freeze or stun your enemies and, for a few seconds, your Tempest Rush hits land far harder. That focus ties the bracer firmly to the Monk and Tempest Rush builds, which already rely on packed enemy groups and rapid casting.
The trick is timing. Make sure your control effect (through runes or helper skills) reliably lands before you open your damage phase, so the bulk of your Tempest Rush hits fall inside the amplified window. Pair the bracer with gear that also boosts Tempest Rush, and the short but intense burst pays off in full.
How big the window is
After a Blind, Freeze or Stun, affected enemies take increased damage from Tempest Rush for 5 seconds, with the bonus rolling between 600–800%. It applies to this one skill only - your other attacks gain nothing. The closer the roll sits to 800%, the more that short window delivers.
Tempest Rush itself costs 30 Spirit and deals 390% weapon damage to everything in your path as you charge through enemy lines.
The runes of Tempest Rush
- Northern Breeze: lowers the cost to 25 Spirit and raises the damage to 500% weapon damage as Holy.
- Flurry: an icy blast within 15 yards when you stop channeling; Cold damage.
- Electric Field: enemies within 20 yards take an additional 135% weapon damage as Lightning every second.
- Bluster: knockback, 20% reduced damage from enemies hit, Fire damage.
- Tailwind: 25% more movement speed.
The rune's element decides which elemental bonus you chase on the rest of your gear.
Properties and pairings
Critical Hit Chance Increased by 4.5–6% is fixed, and a primary attribute rolls at 416–500 - take Dexterity. Vitality, All Resistance, Physical or Arcane Resistance and an elemental bonus such as Cold Damage fit well. The bracers are often combined with Captain Crimson's Silk Girdle and Waders, Balance, Won Khim Lau, Ring of Royal Grandeur and Obsidian Ring of the Zodiac.
The flavor text tells of Cesar, who wove a lock of her hair into his bracers against the will of the Patriarchs and never spoke of her again.
