Sacred 2:Hybrid Damage Based Combat Arts

The following three Combat Arts:

High Elf Delphic Arcania Magic Coup

Seraphim Revered Technology Archangel's Wrath

Shadow Warrior Astral Lord Spectral Hand

combine a mix of game mechanics that distinguish them from Spell Damage Based Combat Arts and Weapon Damage Based Combat Arts.

Corresponding Skills

• Combat Discipline has no direct effect upon these Combat Arts.

• Their damage is boosted with their own specific Aspect Lore (Delphic Arcania Lore, Revered Technology Lore and Astral Lord Lore respectively), but not with Tactics Lore.

• Attack speed is affected by the aspect lore and casting speed.

Corresponding Attributes

The specific attribute which boosts the particular choice of weapon being used is applied as well:

• Strength for melee weapons
• Dexterity for ranged weapons
• Intelligence for staves

Applying the Item Modifiers

• If triggered by weapons, Leech life from opponents and Regeneration per hit can be triggered.

• Double hits, attack speed from weapon lore are not used. Since these Combat Arts do not use attack speed from weapon lores they have no negative penalties if a player uses too high a level weapon.

• All weapon Chance to Hit item modifiers are applied:

- x and x% attack value

- chance that enemy can't evade

- reducing enemy chance to evade

- ...etc

• Higher weapon damage results in better damage, i.e. Archangel's Wrath would inflict more damage if cast while having a polearm equipped than if cast while holding a dagger.

• While dual-wielding, only a weapon in right hand counts for the Combat Art damage (even though the values in the inventory window stated otherwise in the earlier versions of the game).
