Skills and Attributes
The following skills and attributes will affect this combat art:
- Tactics Lore will increase it's Damage by increasing the damage the weapon deals.
- Combat Discipline will increase it's Damage and reduce it's 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.
- Concentration will reduce the Regeneration Time.
- Speed Lore will increase it's Chance to Hit indirectly by increasing your attack rating.
- Specific Weapon Lores will also add to chance to hit indirectly.
- Capricious Hunter Focus will directly decrease regeneration times, as well as increase the maximum level of the CA that you can use.
Usage Strategies
- Main killing Combat Art for a ranged dryad
- Rotate is an extremely good mod to take. It makes the attack turn into a basically 360 degree Area of Effect.
- BUG: On the console version, Darting Assault does not take into account the intelligence boost from Acute Mind if wielding a staff. The display will say that this is the case, but tested in game numbers prove it other wise.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Very strong Area of Effect attack
- Works very well with ranged weapons
- In the Ice and Blood expansion, taking Magic Staffs as a skill will make the range on this Combat Art extremely far (off screen!)
- Looks great when working with Life Leech or Regen per Hit gear!
Cons
- Not very effective using melee weapons
- Until the gold mod for Rotate is taken, the attack only fire in front of the dryad.
