Skills and Attributes

The following skills will affect this combat art:

• Tactics Lore - allows for modifications to this combat art.

• Exalted Warrior Focus reduces regeneration time for this combat art and allows for higher level combat art without penalty, and just like Tactics Lore, it allows for modification points.

• Concentration - will lower this combat art's regeneration time.

• Combat Discipline - will lower its regeneration time if it is placed in a combo.

• The appropriate Weapon lore (such as Sword Weapons when the Seraphim is wielding a sword) - will increase the casting speed.

The following attributes will affect this combat art:

• Stamina will lower regeneration time

Usage Strategies

• The Impatience gold modification decreases the cooldown to 40 seconds, and does not scale. The Delay silver modification extends duration based on the Combat Art level. With the Delay (increase duration) and Impatience (decrease cooldown) modifications, the duration begins to exceed the cooldown at CA level 75. At this point, it becomes practical to maintain Dashing Alacrity continuously.

• Duration above 45-50 seconds is rather difficult to achieve because of the Maximum Spell Level Without Penalty effects and diminishing returns, so this Combat Art needs to be recast very often.

• Makes a good combo with Divine Protection when both are modded for equal regeneration time.

• Note that, like all CA's in the Exalted Warrior aspect, casting speed is determined by weapon speed, and can be boosted by weapon lore skills and +% attack speed. Likewise, the casting speed will be penalized by wielding a weapon with too high a level.

Pros

• Increases attack, casting and run speed by a large amount, which at early levels especially is very useful
