Skills and Attributes

The following skills will affect this combat art:

  • Armor Lore - will indirectly increase the Physical Resistance bonus by a percentage (after it is added to the player's other sources of armor).

The following attributes will affect this combat art:

  • Stamina will lower regeneration time.

Usage Strategies

  • If the Dragon Mage has taken Armor Lore and/or Mentalism Lore then he will already have massive physical armor from this Combat Art even without needing to take either of the "Protection" mods. Therefore they can be skipped if the Dragon Mage is mostly staying out of melee range. If he does take the "Protection" mods, combining them with Armor Lore, Mentalism Lore, and Toughness, he can achieve the highest physical armor values of any character in the game.
  • If using double or triple buffs the Dragon Mage may wish to take the gold mod "Flux" to keep regen times down. A more focused or defensive mage may prefer the even further increased chance to block enemy spells with the "Runes" mod.

  • Potential for colossal physical armor values

Cons
