Skills and Attributes
The following skills and attributes will affect this combat art:
- Strength will raise its damage. It's weapons based.
- Stamina will decrease its regeneration or regeneration penalty on other combat arts as a buff
- Astute Supremacy Focus will decrease its regeneration
- Astute Supremacy Lore will raise its damage
- Concentration will decrease its regeneration
- 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 +xx% that the CA adds to base damage.
- NOT Tactics Lore
Usage Strategies
- Determination gold mod and Incentive bronze mod are highly recommended. Keeping him as a spell will allow memorizing significant ZD runes number, increasing his combat values without any penalty. At higher levels it is possible to achieve spell duration equal/higher than cooldown + regeneration time if Astute Supremacy Focus was picked.
- If gear with +CA/+all CAs is used, these arts will become avaible to use for ZD. Ruthless Mutilation, Dislodged Spirit and Frenetic Fervor will be used most frequently if +all CAs gear is used, he will also use all three Inqusitor buffs. Note that his Soul Reaver will also consume fallen foes souls.
- He also seems to benefit from +Run Speed % and Life leeched per hit bonuses on gear.
- Equal silver mod is also recommended regardless of playstyle. This mod seems to make players Combat Arts modifications made for GI aspect avaible for ZD.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Companion makes this is a very powerful combat art
- Rarely dies with the Incentive ability (and decent combat art level of course)
Cons
- Will travel very while idle to attack targets
- Has low attack speed and sometimes makes poor choices in regards to skill usage
- Teleporting and entering dungeons will make his buffs disappear, and he will loop himself in "buff cast" animation failing to recast (restarting him helps though).
