Builds using this
- Withered Knight — Polearm & Shield — Legacy Gaming explains it at 18:06Keeps the wither execution loop running rather than consuming the effect outright. It is presented together with Bad Karma as the class core that carries across both Withered Knight stances.
- Withered Knight — Greatsword Bosses — TayXDc explains it at 01:30“The most important one”: execute no longer consumes wither, slightly less damage, longer duration. Three stacks locked in means the execute loop just runs.
