The following attributes will affect this combat art:

  • Stamina will lower regeneration time.

Usage Strategies

  • The tornado generally follows enemies, but slowly. It is best to move the character around it as needed, keeping enemies in its area-of-effect while using other attacks.
  • Alternatively, just cast it and forget it, letting it cause mayhem while the Dragon Mage uses other spells.
  • The mods Storm Zone, Tempest, and Critical will allow multiple tornados to wreak havoc on large areas.

Combo Recommendations

  • Not the best choice for use in a combo given its initially long cooldown.
  • One option is making a combo with Maelstrom - Tornado. The Maelstrom will slow enemies down and get them stuck in the Tornado's winds.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Cons
