End effect

Cleanup

This article needs to be cleaned up, see Guild Wars Wiki:Formatting for details.

An end effect is a type of effect triggered by the expiration of an existing effect, such as an enchantment, hex, or stance.

Natural ending:

• Drop effect: dropping an item (deliberately or due to the ending of a skill's duration)
• The duration of the skill expires.

Premature ending:

• Removed by a skill (e.g. enchantment removal, hex removal).
• The affected creature dies.
• Maintained enchantments will end when the caster dies.
• A small subset of hexes end when the caster dies (e.g. Life Transfer).
• When the skill is reapplied. This can cause a renewal effect, an end effect, or a removal effect, depending on the skill.

Notes

Not all of these causes will trigger the end effect; which causes do and don't is different with each skill. In some cases, it's mentioned in the skill description, in others it can only be deduced from the intended skill function. See each skill's article for details.
