Devoted and Enhanced Devoted Perk
About
Devoted and Enhanced Devoted is an Invention perk that has a chance each hit of replicating the Devotion ability for 3 seconds. This effect does not put the ability itself on cooldown. Devoted has an effective level requirement of 74 as the materials required can only be unlocked at that level; however, enhanced devoted can be utilised at any Invention level for the cost of 2 perk slots. It can be created in armour gizmos.
Any type of damage, including typeless damage and self-inflicting damage, can activate the perk. The hit that activates Devoted will also be affected by the perk's effect. Devoted will play the same animation as Devotion whenever it activates but uses its own icon in the buffs/debuffs interface. In player-versus-player situations, the icon does not appear.
Having Devoted and Enhanced Devoted on one's gear has a benefit. Enhanced Devoted takes priority over Devoted. However, as Enhanced Devoted is unable to proc while it is currently active, this allows for a small window of time for Devoted to proc. Both Devoted and Enhanced Devoted, on their own, last 5 game ticks (3 seconds). This also means that it is possible (though unlikely) to have continuous procs of Enhanced Devoted and Devoted. The chance of continuous procs occurring is highly dependent on the attack speed of the enemy. Further information about the combination can be found here.
Do They Stack
Enhanced and standard devoted are separate in terms of code flow and their effect but they both use the same 1 cycle internal cooldown to prevent rolls, for the most part, enhanced devoted sets this and prevents devoted from rolling. If enhanced devoted is up however then it doesn't set that devoted has rolled and allows the code to fall through and roll standard devoted.
We've known about this for quite a while now and currently have no plans to change anything as it makes a lot of the game much more accessible for those that run it.
We should probably fix the description though ;)
Hope that clears up any confusion and thanks to those that raised it to me.
