Dedicated Blow without Modifications


Skills and Attributes

The following skills will affect this combat art:

  • Any weapon lore (such as Hafted Weapons when the Temple Guardian is wielding an axe) - will indirectly increase this combat art's execution speed, damage and chance to hit, and will allow the equippng of higher level weapons used to execute this combat art.
  • Combat Discipline - will increase its damage and reduce its 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.
  • 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

  • Modify with Transformation - Intent - Enforce to maximize the damage potential.
  • Works well in a combo with Battle Extension. Dedicated Blow will deliver a hard hit and Battle Extension will follow up with a multi-hit attack against the opponent and nearby foes.
  • To lower regen time to the max, take Concentration, Devout Guardian Focus, Combat Discipline, and place Dedicated Blow in a combo by itself. Drink a Concentration Potion to really get the regen time low.
  • Alternatively, just stack regeneration per hit gear and spam Dedicated Blow by just holding down the right mouse button.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Allows the player to use their most powerful weapon without worrying about the opponent's resistances
  • With low regen/regen per hit gear, it can take the place of regular left-click attacks

Cons

  • Single-target attack only
  • ...
