Eternal Fire without Modifications

Skills and Attributes

The following skills will affect this combat art:

• Dragon Magic Lore - improves casting speed, allows for modification points. No effect on the damage.
• Dragon Magic Focus - reduces regeneration time and allows for higher level combat art without penalty, allows for modification points.
• Concentration - directly improves regeneration time.
• Combat Discipline - will lower its regeneration time if it is placed in a combo. No effect on the damage.
• NOT Ancient Magic

The following attributes will affect this combat art:

• Intelligence will increase spell intensity but not the damage.
• Stamina will lower regeneration time.

Usage Strategies

• Can be used in very early levels to kill on its own. In higher levels it can soften enemies to be more easily killed with a more powerful CA.
• The "Licking Flames" and "Hunger" modifications can cause a wildifre that spreads very far very fast. The Community Patch nerfs these values as they can make Eternal Fire bring down multiplayer servers. Viperish Disease was nerfed in much the same way, and for the same reasons (see that page for further explanation).

Combo Recommendations

Eternal Fire should usually go near the beginning of a combo so that it has time to spread to as many enemies as possible.

Pros

Cons
