- Mystic Stormite Focus - reduces buff penalty on combat arts
Usage Strategies
- Provides a surprisingly large amount of physical resistance, especially when used with Armor Lore.
- The "Mystic Stormite Expertise" gold mod provides a scaling regeneration bonus that will improve with additional runes. This is most useful early in a character's life when regeneration time balancing is difficult. This mod becomes less useful over time however, as the Crystal Skin CA has a built-in reduction of Mystic Stormite regeneration times already, and the natural progression of a character in higher levels means drastically decreased regeneration times in general.
- The "Frosty Breeze" gold mod provides a scaling damage bonus that will improve with additional runes. This is most useful late in a character's life when a percentage based increase in damage means tens to hundreds of points in additional ice damage.
- The "Focalise" mod increases spell intensity for all Combat Arts, not just Mystic Stormite.
