Effects on Combat Arts as an Aspect Lore Skill

As an aspect lore skill, Tactics Lore can unlock modification points for certain aspects' combat arts. Only hard points count for modification purposes (skill bonuses don't give you modification points).

Tactics Lore serves as the Lore skill for many aspects of the various character classes. The increase to damage and critical chance of Tactics Lore naturally boosts the power of any Weapon Damage Based Combat Arts within those aspects. Occassionally Spell Damage Based Combat Arts are found within these aspects - their damage and critical chance is also enhanced. Furthermore, Tactics Lore can increase other, unusual properties of combat arts within those aspects:

Dryad

• Capricious Hunter: No additional effects beyond damage and critical chance.

Inquisitor

• Gruesome Inquisition:
  • Callous Execution - Increases life leech damage from the "Draw Life" modification.
  • Ruthless Mutilation - Increases life leech damage from the "Dolor" modification.

Seraphim

• Exalted Warrior: No additional effects beyond damage and critical chance.

Shadow Warrior

• Death Warrior:
  • Demonic Blow - Increases life leech damage of the "Life Leech" modification.
  • Grim Resilience - Increases the hitpoint bonus and the hitpoint regeneration from the "Rejuvenation" modification.

• Malevolent Champion:
  • Frenzied Rampage - Increases the life leech damage of the "Vampire" modification.
  • Augmenting Guidon - Increases the hitpoint regeneration of the "Healing" modification.

Temple Guardian

• Devout Guardian:
  • Combat Alert - Increases the hitpoint regeneration of the "Repair" modification.
  • T-Energy Shroud - Improves the block warding energy value, increases in-combat shield regeneration of the "Recharge" modification.

Note: All Combat Arts within these aspects use weapon attack speed for their execution speed, even the spells and buffs.
