Fragment of Destruction

This soul shard revolves around the Mark of Destruction: you move unhindered through enemies, branding them with the mark as you go. When a marked enemy dies, the cooldown of one of your skills is reduced – a powerful loop that massively boosts your pace and cooldown availability while plowing through crowds. If the mark expires, however, you take damage yourself, and below a life threshold it isn't applied at all.

The shard is class-independent and excellent for aggressive, mobile builds that surge through large packs. Its many defensive and utility bonuses also make it remarkably sturdy. Practical tip: keep moving and ensure marked enemies die quickly – that way the mark rarely expires, you avoid the self-damage, and you keep your important skills constantly ready.

The Mark's Rules in Detail

The mark lasts 7 seconds. If the enemy dies within that time, one of your skills on cooldown loses 1 second. If the mark expires first, it costs you 2% of your maximum health. Below 35% health no marks are applied, which keeps expired marks from pushing you into danger. The power has no roll range.

Fixed Stats and Two Random Properties

Fixed are 23–25% Life, 12.5–15% cooldown reduction, 12.5–15% resource cost reduction, 32–35% extra gold from monsters and bonus experience (4.1–5% at level 70). The first random property is defensive or an attribute: all resistance, armor, reduced melee or ranged damage taken, or a main stat or Vitality at 946–1,125. The second extends the mark:

  • Healing: a 25% chance to restore 5% Life when a marked enemy dies.
  • Speed: every mark you apply raises movement speed by 5% for 7 seconds, up to 10 stacks.
  • Flame trail: marked enemies below 10% Life die instantly when they touch your trail.

The flame trail directly lowers the risk of a mark expiring, since it finishes off weakened enemies.

Born from the Worldstone's Destruction

According to the flavor text, when the Worldstone was destroyed at Arreat, the entropy of the Burning Hells became part of the surrounding landscape.
