Bulwark & Sylvan

The two "earth-aspect" resonances: one for defenders, one for pet-masters.


Bulwark

Stand against the tide. Raises every damage resistance and grants a chance to reduce any incoming damage source to a single point.

Field Value
Id bulwark
Echo name a bulwark echo
Echo hue 0x973 (iron grey)
Max per-slot level 10
Role Tank / defensive

Passives — defensive suite

Effect Per active level
All-source damage resistance +1%
Chance to mitigate incoming hit to 1 damage +1%

TBD — values surface in the UI, mechanics pending

Both Bulwark passives currently surface as numbers in the Resonance panel and OPL tooltip but do not yet feed the incoming-damage scaler. Only the Ultimate produces a visible mechanical effect today — the resistance and resolve-to-1 percentages are placeholders.

Ultimate — Mountain's Wrath

  • Visual — an iron-grey impact slam on the target plus stone-rune particles orbiting the attacker for the buff window.
  • Sound — a heavy hit-thump.
  • Flourish — for the 15-second buff window, the attacker reflects 15 + 1.5·L % of any damage they take back to the dealer. PvM-only. This stacks on top of any talent-driven reflect such as Aegis.

Worked example at weapon-slot Bulwark Level 6: the universal Ultimate deals 600 + 60·6 = 960, applies the +(15 + 1.5·6)% = +24% mark, and for the next 15 seconds you reflect 24% of incoming damage to its source.

Wiring note

The reflect flourish may not yet be live in this build — the Ultimate's visuals and the standard mark always land, but the reflect plumbing is centralised and still being wired. Confirm in-game before relying on the reflect in a boss fight.


Sylvan

The wild heart. Increases tame chance and bolsters the damage and accuracy of any pet you control.

Field Value
Id sylvan
Echo name a sylvan echo
Echo hue 0x59B (mossy green-brown)
Max per-slot level 10
Role Tamer / beastmaster

Passives — pet-master suite

Effect Per active level
Tame success chance +1%
Pet damage / accuracy +1%

TBD — values surface in the UI, mechanics pending

Both Sylvan passives currently surface as numbers in the Resonance panel and OPL tooltip but do not yet feed the taming-chance or pet-combat math. The Ultimate is the only currently-active surface.

Ultimate — Wild Awakening

  • Visual — a mossy-green burst on the target layered with vine-root particles.
  • Sound — a wolf howl.
  • Flourish — your currently-controlled pets share the +damage mark against the target. On every pet hit, if the pet's master holds a Wild Awakening mark on the same target, the pet's hit inherits the mark's damage bonus.

Pet damage-share deferred

Today, Sylvan's Ultimate proc applies the standard mark (which buffs the master's direct damage) and plays the visual / sound, but the pet-carry-over piece is not yet active.
