Skills And Attributes That Affect This Combat Art
Usage Strategies
- Casting this under a monster sometimes launches them high up into the air, but apparently only if it kills them on the first hit, which isn't helpful.
- Firing frequency increases by 0.1 seconds for every 50 levels of Skeletal Fortification.
- If enemy is static (not moving) placing Skeletal Fortification directly underneath certain enemies, like Dragons and Guardians, will enable SF to strike enemy twice. Works best when using Shadow Veil and no summons are present.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Allows you to target enemies normally not accessible from your present location (i.e. across a river, over/under a bridge)
- ...
Cons
- It is a 'line of sight' CA. Will only strike enemies if it has a clear, unobstructed path to it. (hills, rocks, trees, statues and other objects will block projectiles)
- With Scatter Shot mod, only one arrow will be fired if only one enemy is within range.
