Long ago, the Askari found their arboreal city of Dyr-Lain under siege by the pirates of the Jade Sea. Supplies ran short, and the Amazon archers found themselves without ammunition. The priests prayed to Athulua, who infused the minds of the Amazons with the power to harness their natural elemental energies. The archers melded their fiery determination and icy will into shards of physical force that they then unleashed from their bows by the thousands, routing the corsairs back to sea.

Elemental Arrow

Skills and Attributes

The following skills will affect this combat art:

• Tactics Lore - indirectly, it increases weapon damage and critical chance, thus making Elemental Arrow hit harder, also allows modification points.

• Huntress Talents Focus - reduces regeneration time and allows for higher level combat art without penalty, allows for modification points.

• Any weapon lore (such as Ranged Weapons) - will indirectly increase this combat art's execution speed, damage and chance to hit, and will allow the equippng of higher level weapons used to execute this combat art.

• Concentration - directly improves regeneration time

• Combat Discipline will increase its Damage and reduce its regeneration time if this Combat Art is placed within a combo. This increase in Damage is direct; it increases the damage that the CA adds to base damage.

• Damage Lore - will improve the chance, duration, and strength of the secondary damage effects triggered by Elemental Arrow: Open Wounds, Freeze, and Burn

The following attributes will affect this combat art:

• Strength will increase damage for melee weapons, and chance to hit

• Dexterity will increase damage for ranged weapons (and some melee weapons), and chance to hit

• Intelligence will increase damage for for magic staves and wands

• Stamina will lower regeneration time

• Willpower will increase damage for Lightsabers

Usage Strategies

• The two obvious ways to develop this CA are either the Fire Arrow - Immolation Arrow - Exploding Arrow path or the Cold Arrow - Ice Arrow - Freezing Arrow path. It would also help to socket a Jewel of Fire or Jewel of Frost, respectively.
• Freezing Arrow duration begins at 5.0s and can scale up to 7.0s at max CA level 200. The slowing effect will stack with each hit, but with diminishing returns, so it will never reduce opponent speed to "0".

Pros and Cons

Pros

• Hard hit attack with two damage types for versatility
• Works with melee weapons as well as ranged

Cons

• Single target attack only unless Exploding Arrow mod is taken
