sustain-tank Patch 7.2
Unending Despair

Frontline

Unending Despair

Unending Despair periodically drains nearby enemies: automatic damage and healing as long as you stay in contact.

The item asks for no execution — it asks for a position: in the middle of them. On a tank holding the brawl for ten seconds, the cumulative drain rivals a dedicated healing item while providing both resistances.

The spiritual replacement for Spirit Visage in sustain builds — earned through presence rather than incoming heals.
