* Note: It is possible for players to toggle Auto-Renew for both their current Weapon Codex Stance and current Parry Codex Stance simultaneously, which if done, will result in both stances renewing and using mana for both (players should probably only auto-renew either their Weapon Stance or Parry Stance) | |||

* For weapons, Finishers are large-scale weapon hits, often with special effects (Such as finishing DOTs or restoring hp), that players can randomly trigger when attacking a creature that is below 25% of their max hit points, or below 33% of a [[Boss-Type Creature|boss-type creature's]]. | |||
* Parry Finishers are defensive measures that can trigger when the player gets below 33% of their max hit points | |||

* Players can only trigger a single Finisher on each mob (i.e. an infinite cooldown), but can trigger a Finisher every 60s on a [[Boss-Type Creature]]. | |||
** Exceptions to this is are mechanics like [[Discipline Aspect|Discipline Aspect Armor]] or certain weapon abilities | |||
** There is also a 5s cooldown between triggering Ricochet finishers (Meaning between triggering two finishers on two different creatures) | |||
* When a Weapon Finisher triggers, it will resolve the "original" hit as normal, and then afterwards will take that hit's damage and then use that amount as the baseline "Damage" for how much the Weapon Finisher will inflict | |||
** Example: A melee hit of 50 damage triggers a finisher, will first resolve 50 damage to the initial target, after which it will also inflict the finisher using 50 as the "damage" | |||
* Damage for Weapon Finishers are scaled from +0% (Heavy Crossbow) upwards to +250% (Kryss) based on the weapon's printed Average Damage | |||

* Each Tier of finisher adds 2% more finisher chance | |||
** The chance for a Weapon Finisher to occur is further scaled from +200% (Heavy Crossbow) downwards to +0% (Kryss) based on the weapon's printed Speed | |||
** Finisher chance is reduced by 50% if a player (and their followers) has dealt less then 25% of the total damage the creature has received | |||
