Shard of Dawn Aspect

SorcererDruidBarbarianRogueNecromancerOffensive

The Shard of Dawn Aspect is an Offensive Aspect. It can be imprinted on Gloves, Offhands, 1H Weapons, 2H Weapons, Rings and Amulets. It can be used by any class.

is a seasonal Offensive Aspect coming with the Midwinter Blight holiday event. The Aspect grants you the Dawn's Haste status effect, which occurs after 30 seconds of Night's Grasp. We don't know yet exactly what Night's Grasp is, but it is highly likely another status effect you can get during the Midwinter Blight.

Dawn's Haste provides up to 35% increased Attack Speed and 20% increased Movement Speed for 12 seconds.

While using this Aspect under the effect of Midwinter Ward (probably the whole area of Fractured Peaks), Night's Grasp's duration is reduced by 1 second after killing an enemy. It's not clear if this will trigger Dawn's Haste faster though.

How to get the Shard of Dawn

You can get the Shard of Dawn during the Midwinter Blight event, between December 12 and January 2. During this time you can earn

Note that while you can only obtain the Aspect during the event, you can still use the Aspect after the event. It's questionable how useful the Aspect will be after the event though.

If you plan to stock up on this Aspect, make sure to switch to World Tier I or II to get the cheaper version. On lower World Tiers, you can get
