The Huntsman’s Warmask Mythic is a powerful headpiece that offers a unique bonus. Dealing damage with a fully-charged Heavy Attack or Bash, places the Mark of Hircine on your target for 60 seconds. While active, you deal 15% more damage to the target and 50% less damage to all other enemies. If the enemy dies while marked, you gain 2418 Stamina or Magicka, based off your highest maximum resource. This effect can occur once every 10 seconds. This is a decent mythic for for single target damage fights like trial bosses and can be used on both Stamina and Magicka characters.
