Skills and Attributes

The following skills will affect this combat art:

The following attributes will affect this combat art:

  • Stamina will lower regeneration time
  • Note: Intelligence, Ancient Magic, and Damage Lore enhance the damage from the Banish Creation and Banish Dead mods.

Usage Strategies

  • De-buffs cannot be removed by anything except Expulse Magic.
  • Will provide a chance to block enemy spells and CAs, i.e. the Kobold Chief's boulder throw attack.
  • Can be used debuff enemies (can remove enemy energy shields like the 4 guardians or Gar Colossus).
  • Will also prevent enemies from casting their own buffs.
  • Can also be used as an AoE against Undead and/or T-Mutants.
  • Possible strategy is to keep this CA around maximum ca level without penalty. This will increase the duration and casting strength meaning it won't have to be re-cast as often.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • A strong defensive CA against non-weapon-based attacks from enemies.
  • Can provide an area of relative safety once the strength of the fear effect increases with higher levels.
  • Multiple castings stack (power of CA stacks for magic expulsion).

Cons

  • The CA is cast on a fixed circular area that does not move with the High Elf. If an enemy moves out of the circle, it is no longer affected.
  • ...

Notes

  • The Protection modification allows the elf to block Combat Arts for the entire duration of Expulse Magic regardless of whether or not she stays in the circle.
