Attacker's Insight

Gain Insight when disabling foes or removing boons. Full Counter refreshes all burst skills on hit.
Disables include stun, daze, knockback, pull, knockdown, sink, float, launch, taunt and fear.

 Attacker's Insight (15s): 50 Power, 50 Precision, 50 Ferocity

 Attacker's Insight (15s): 30 Power, 30 Precision, 30 Ferocity

 Attacker's Insight (15s): 45 Power, 45 Precision, 45 Ferocity

 Maximum Stacks: 5

— In-game description

Notes

• The maximum stat increase this grants:

 Power: +250

 Power: +150

 Power: +225

 Precision: +250

 Precision: +150

 Precision: +225

 Ferocity: +250

 Ferocity: +150

 Ferocity: +225

• Does not actually require disabling a foe. Simply hitting a foe with a disabling effect will grant Attacker's Insight. This provides another way to gain stacks when fighting a boonless enemy with a breakbar.
• Does not trigger when negated by  Stability.
• Gives one stack for each enemy disabled. That means AoE attacks like   Stomp and   Kick may grant multiple stacks from one attack.
• Stacks intensity, and thus does not refresh duration of old stacks when a new stack is gained.
• Triggers separately from disables and from each boon removal. That means that disabling an enemy with a boon and removing it will grant 2 stacks, and disabling an enemy with at least two boons and removing them (using   Enchantment Collapse to remove the second boon) will grant 3 stacks in one hit.
