Concentrate.png Sometimes a series of blows is not nearly as effective as a single, concentrated strike. A Barbarian trained in this skill learns how to focus his strength into a single blow that cuts through the guard of an enemy and slices through their armor.

This is a Hybrid Damage Based Combat Art.

Skills and Attributes

The following skills will affect this combat art:

  • Tactics Lore - indirectly, it increases weapon damage (including the life leech effect of the Sap modification) and critical chance, thus making Concentrate hit harder, and allows modification points.
  • Any weapon lore - will indirectly increase this chance to hit by increasing the attack rating. Will not boost the execution speed (Concentrate uses Casting Speed instead).
  • Combat Discipline will reduce its regeneration time if this Combat Art is placed within a combo. No damage boost.
  • Speed Lore - will increase its chance to hit indirectly by increasing a player's attack rating.

The following attributes will affect this combat art:

  • Strength will increase damage for melee weapons, and chance to hit
  • Dexterity will increase damage for ranged weapons (and some melee weapons), and chance to hit
  • Stamina will lower regeneration time

Usage Strategies

  • Concentrate has its own built-in attack rating boost based on CA level and uses casting speed instead of attack speed (like the High Elf's Magic Coup), which frees the Barbarian from needing a weapon lore skill to make good use of this combat art.
