• Dragon Magic Focus - reduces regeneration time penalty and allows for higher level combat art without penalty, allows for modification points.

• Concentration - directly improves regeneration time penalty.

The following attributes will affect this combat art:

• Stamina will lower regeneration time.

Usage Strategies

• Useful for any spellcaster Dragon Mage build, and for a build fighting with Magic Staffs.

• Recommended not to take the bronze mod Insight due to its effect overriding any other sources of +Experience per kill. (Only valid if playing without or with a previous version of the CM Patch other than v1.60, which fixed this.)

• Bronze mod Firebug is a better choice, but it will only affect one CA: Dragon Strike (also Destroyer with CM Patch). It will also affect fire damage on weapon attacks. It will not affect damage of Eternal Fire or the shapeshifting forms.

• Taking the gold mod Energy Flux can negate most or even all of this buff's Regeneration Penalty
