Belligerent Vault without Modifications

Skills and Attributes

The following skills will affect this combat art:

• Tactics Lore - increases damage, chance for critical hits, and allows for modification points. Belligerant Vault is one of only two spell damage-based combat arts in the whole game that can have their damage boosted by Tactics Lore (the other is Dust Devil).
• Malevolent Champion Focus - reduces regeneration time and allows for higher level combat art without penalty, and just like Tactics Lore, it allows for modification points.
• Concentration - will lower this combat art's regeneration time.
• Combat Discipline - will increase the damage of this combat art and lower its regeneration time if it is placed in a combo.
• Ancient Magic - increases the damage and lowers opponent's resistances to its damage.

The following attributes will affect this combat art:

• Intelligence will increase the damage and spell intensity
• Stamina will lower regeneration time

Usage Strategies

• Can be used for shortcuts (i.e. jumping across rivers and up/down small cliffs)

Pros and Cons

Pros

• Very useful for exploration and escape.
• Damage can be boosted by 3 skills (Tactics Lore, Ancient Magic, and Combat Discipline).
• Can soften up mobs for follow-up attacks with Frenzied Rampage or Scything Sweep

Cons

• Damage of the CA is too low to kill on its own.
• Requires both Tactics Lore and Ancient Magic to maximize damage, two skills unlikely to belong together on a single build.
