Skills and Attributes

The following skills will affect this combat art:

  • Combat Discipline - will increase the damage of this combat art and lower its regeneration time if it is placed in a combo.

The following attributes will affect this combat art:

  • Stamina will lower regeneration time.

Usage Strategies

  • Damage aside, this is an excellent CA for keeping enemies away from the Druid.
  • Use this Combat Art to either toss back a group of enemies (if you point somewhere close to your character ), or to give one enemy a powerful blow (pointing further away from the character), effectively impaling it with a "shotgun" effect if aimed well.
  • Keep in mind that for some area-of-effect combat arts (Hurricane), the blast may actually push the enemies out of harm's way. So it should probably not go in a combo following one of those CA's.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • 100% knockback chance (not true knockback, but rather a "push" effect that can't be resisted).
  • Can control the angle and radius (wide sweep or focused blast)

Cons

  • If put late in a combo, it might not auto-target the desired enemy (firing in the wrong direction, or at some distant foe rather than a close one).
