Notes

• Even if you have  Demonic Defiance traited, the  Resistance applied before the heal won't prevent reduced healing from  Poisoned and it'll still apply due to the changes to  Resistance. It wasn't confirmed whether this is intentional or not, but the skill is extremely hard to get value out due to the changes.
• Mallyx occasionally shouts "Misery restores us!" on use.
