constraint

[P 15-4704]

does anyone know what it does or how it affect the runes/character?

Constraint modifies the behaviour of the activation rune.
If your activation rune triggers the effect rune every 40 sec by default, it will trigger:
- every 20 sec with a constraint of 50%;
- every 40 sec with a constraint of 100%;
- every 80 sec with a constraint of 200%.

As the behaviour of the effect can varies a lot, it adds another layer in order to balance in addition to simply nerfing or buffing the effect in itself.

it's like a modifier to the CD?

[Peredur]

The only activation rune I have is time based, so it affects the CD on this one.
But if there is an activation rune based on number of kills, it will be 100 kills at 100%, 50 kills at 50% and 200 kills at 200%.
Whatever the condition is, it is increased or lowered by the constraint.

There is an enhance rune that increases the effect of your Effect Rune BUT increases the constraint. I guess there's one that does the opposite? reducing the constraint BUT it also decreases the effectiveness of your effect rune.

Runes just added a whole new way to build your character. There's a lot of testing coming my way lol.
