Tips and Details

Ruthless Stigma Shot only cancels Mana Break from the skill hit, not the entire debuff duration.
If you get hit by an attack that inflicts hitstun while casting Stigma Shot, the skill will get canceled, unless you are using Powerful Stigma Shot.
With Rapid Archer, it is possible to keep a target permanently afflicted with the effect of Stigma Shot, even when using Powerful Stigma Shot due to the cooldown reduction.
Critical Damage Increase is multiplicative, while Enemy Damage Received Increase is additive to Awakening multiplier.

12/13/2012	-	▲ Critical Damage buff is now a multiplier on critical hit damage (150% damage) instead of on the critical damage modifier (50% damage) making it much more effective. A target inflicted with level 5 Stigma will now take 2.475x damage on a critical hit instead of 1.925x damage. An increase of 65% damage on a critical hit, more than doubling its effect. (Pre-revamp is 28.3%) ▼ Stigma is reduced to hitting 2 Targets maximum as Arrow Mastery passive no longer provides additional piercing.
