Tear the Iron	Notable	Your manual attacks build armour break with all of their damage, not only blunt; each point of rage gives 2% increased armour break build-up to them

Head Unbowed	Notable	Your endurance threshold is at least the health at the low-life boundary +25% endurance
Blood for Fear	Notable	Adrenaline is your missing health, full at low life; nothing else changes it. A full bar keeps your trinkets active, triggering at most once every 8 s

Into the Open Wound	Notable	Your next manual attack on an enemy whose armour you fully broke spends your armour break on it and deals 60% more damage
Tempered on the Foe	Notable	Fully breaking an enemy's armour gives your endurance 50% more effect for 6 s; a new full break renews it
Past the Last Line	Notable	Adrenaline from Blood for Fear can rise past 100% as your health falls below low life 1% increased trinket effect per 1% of adrenaline past full
Red Covenant	Notable	While endurance holds, each point of rage gives 2% more life leeched from your damage
Break the Limit	Notable	At full rage your next manual attack starts a frenzy: rage drains away over 8 s, its effect is 50% greater, and nothing refills it until it runs out
Unfinished Fight	Notable	A successful block or a perfect dodge restarts the delay before rage starts draining. It grants no rage and does not stop a frenzy
