Bulwark & Sylvan

The two earth-aspect resonances. One holds the line; the other commands the beasts.


Bulwark

Stand against the tide. Raises every damage resistance and gives a chance to cut any incoming hit down 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 show as numbers in the Resonance panel and OPL tooltip, but they don't feed the incoming-damage scaler yet. 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, with 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. It 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 be live in this build yet. The Ultimate's visuals and the standard mark always land, but the reflect itself is still being wired in. Confirm in-game before you lean on it in a boss fight.


Sylvan

The wild heart. Raises your tame chance and sharpens 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 show as numbers in the Resonance panel and OPL tooltip, but they don't feed the taming-chance or pet-combat math yet. The Ultimate is the only active surface for now.

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 master holds a Wild Awakening mark on that same target, the pet's hit inherits the mark's damage bonus.

Pet damage-share deferred

Right now, Sylvan's Ultimate applies the standard mark (which buffs the master's direct damage) and plays the visual and sound, but the pet carry-over isn't active yet.
