The following skills and attributes will affect this combat art:

Delphic Arcania Lore increases damage as usual, and also increases the damage over time to T-Energy creatures.
Delphic Arcania Focus reduces regeneration time as usual.
Concentration reduces regeneration time as usual.
Intelligence increases damage.
Stamina reduces regeneration time as usual.
Ancient Magic increases damage as usual.

Can be modded as either a single enemy attack with debuffing power or as a multiple enemy attack with a chance for AoE damage.
By using the Chain and AoE modifications, groups of enemies can be hit with AoE damage up to 3 times as the Cobalt Strike jumps between monsters.

Pros

Reduction of enemy stats (with the appropriate mod) will cause them to be increasingly vulnerable to subsequent attacks.
Works well in clustered groups of enemies with the AoE mod.

Cons

Not a true AoE, as it requires at least 2-3 enemies in a bunch for its full damage potential. A single monster will not be affected by AoE damage and will not result in a Chain.
