Usage Strategies Acute Mind will increase this Combat Art's damage and reduce Regeneration Time. Edaphic Lances launches a stream of thorns projecting from the ground. They launch in a straight and narrow line in the direction of casting. This CA has a "wind-up" before it can affect monsters that is always present, although cast speed will help to decrease it. Edaphic Lances works most effectively against large, slow opponents who will be hit by many thorns at once. It is less effective against small opponents who are likely to only contact a single thorn. At high CA levels this becomes less of a problem, as the damage ramps up significantly. The "Density" Bronze Mod is not especially useful, as it's primarily the damage of the thorns that determines its effectiveness. Also, this CA naturally decreases the density of the thorns with additional runes. Pros and Cons Pros At high CA levels, can do very high damage to large monsters (bosses, dragons). ... Cons Difficult to hit more than a few targets at once, due to the linear nature of the CA. Is not very effective early in a character's life. Stats Chart
