  • Frailty - Temporarily reduces the opponent's armor class. (50% + 0.1% per CA level decrease in opponent's physical armor)
  • Poisoning - Adds poison damage (poison damage over time). (4% + 1% per CA level, this actually seems to be direct poison damage, not DoT)

Skills and Attributes

The following skills will affect this combat art:

  • Tactics Lore - indirectly, it increases weapon damage, thus making Demonic Blow hit harder. Also increases the leech life effect of the mod 3a "Life Leech" and allows for modification points.
  • Death Warrior Focus - reduces regeneration time and allows for higher level combat art without penalty, and just like Tactics Lore, it allows for modification points.
  • Any weapon lore - will indirectly increase this combat art's speed, damage and chance to hit by allowing the equippng of higher level weapons used to execute this combat art.
  • Concentration - will lower this combat art's regeneration time.
  • 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:


Usage Strategies

  • Keep the CA level either very high and use it as a one hit wonder to kill off champs and on bosses, and utilize from the high Ca lvl and gain high chance for modification effects.
  • Or keep it very low and use it as your main attack when other combat arts are on cooldown.

Never be hasty to increase a CA, you can not revert back to a lower CA lvl.

  • Using regen per hit modifier will allow you to have no regeneration time, so you can land as many Demonic Blows as you want.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Strong single target damage, can be modified to attack several opponents through an area of effect mod.
  • Low regeneration time
  • Strong boss killer with modifications for wounds and poison debuffs.
  • Fast execution animation making it viable for a short regeneration time.
  • The mod 1b "Vehemence" (area of effect) and the mod 3a "Life Leech" (enhanced by Tactics Lore) work good together, as you can add to your health a considerable amount of hitpoints with only one hit.

Cons

  • Single target attack, must be modified to attack more than one opponent.
  • Mod 2a "Frailty" only reduces opponent's physical armor.
