Skills

The following skills will affect this combat art:


Usage Strategies

  • Up against enemy crowds, the Inquisitor can use this to "mow" through his enemies, effectively giving him the ability to kill numerous foes in one attack.
  • When using the skill Dual Wield, the Inquisitor will make two half-circle weapon attacks (one with each weapon).
  • As with his other core weapon attack, Callous Execution, this combat art also has an inherently low regeneration time.vel:
  • If the Inquisitor needs to get away from the enemy crowd he is facing, he can use this to slow them down and thus give him some time to back away from them and recuperate.
  • Combining Ruthless Mutilation with effects that instill fear in enemies will turn the Inquisitor's foes into slow moving, easy sacrifices for Ker!
  • Interestingly enough, this skill also works with long ranged weapons:
    • If the Inquisitor executes 'Ruthless Mutilation while holding such a weapon, he will shoot off a half-circle of projectiles (one for each foe in front of him).

Combo Recommendations

  • Effective with either (or both, if using Combat Discipline): Callous Execution and Mortifying Pillory.
  • Also performs well with Levin Array; the Inquisitor can slow down his enemies with this and then fry them with lightning.
  • The Inquisitor can also use Eruptive Desecration after utilizing Ruthless Mutilation.
    • This can be use to take out any enemies who have survived Mutilation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Capable of taking out small to medium sized enemy crowds.
  • Can be used with long ranged weapons.
  • Low regeneration time.
  • Overall, this combat art has impressive tactical potential.

Cons

  • This combat art can miss its target.
  • Using this with long ranged weapons only produces one stream of projectiles.
    • Suffice to say, if the Inquisitors wish to have the projectiles hit more than one foe-per-projectile, they will need to use a weapon that can pierce.
