MODicons_08.gif Gold
  • Ardor - Decreases the regeneration time of all attacks. (1-1/(1+(200+2*calvl)/1000) percent reduced; ~17% at CA-Lvl 1, ~18% at CA-Lvl 10, ~23% at CA-Lvl 50)
  • Impatience - Reduces the cooldown of Dashing Alacrity. (33.3% decrease)

Skills

The following skills will affect this combat art:

  • Exalted Warrior Focus reduces regeneration time for this combat art and allows for higher levels without penalties.
  • Both Exalted Warrior Focus and Tactics Lore allow for modifications to this combat art.

Usage Strategies

The Impatience modification decreases the cooldown to 40 seconds, and does not scale. The Delay modification extends duration based on the Combat Art level. With the Delay (increase duration) and Impatience (decrease cooldown) modifications, the duration begins to exceed the cooldown at CA level 75. At this point, it becomes practical to maintain Dashing Alacrity continuously.

Duration above 45-50 seconds is rather difficult to achieve because of the Maximum Spell Level Without Penalty effects and diminishing returns, so this Combat Art needs to be recast very often.


Makes a good combo with Divine Protection when both are modded for equal regeneration time.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Increases attack, casting and run speed by a large amount, which at early levels especially is very useful
  • Allows the player to neglect certain stats on gear like runspeed, attack speed or casting speed.

Cons

  • Has to be recast alot to maintain optimal effect.
