Trait
Gear Shift
Reloading after a final blow or becoming amplified grants a period of increased damage. Stacks 5x.
Overview
Gear Shift grants a stacking damage bonus. A reload after a final blow adds one stack, and becoming Amplified adds one stack. Stacks give +15% at 1, +20% at 2, +25% at 3, +30% at 4 and +35% at 5. A stack resets the roughly 15-second timer.
It is a Season 29 trait and pairs well with Arc and Amplified builds. It is on several Legendary weapons including Oversoul Edict and Stormchaser.
