Pride of Cassius

Longer protection through Ignore Pain

Pride of Cassius extends the duration of the Barbarian skill Ignore Pain by several seconds. This unassuming improvement is in truth a cornerstone of many defensive Barbarian builds, since it grants a far longer window during which you benefit from key damage-reduction and rescue effects.

Depending on the setup, the difference between a short and a long protection window decides whether you can bridge a cooldown gap or stand exposed. The mighty belt thus suits any playstyle that uses Ignore Pain as a central survival tool. Tip: Tune your cooldown reduction so the extended protection window connects as seamlessly as possible to the next cast — the goal is continuous or only minimally interrupted uptime, especially at high difficulties.
