Skills and Attributes
The following skills will affect this combat art:
- Mystic Stormite Lore - improves casting speed, directly increases the Physical Resistance bonus, and allows for modification points.
- Mystic Stormite Focus - reduces regeneration time penalty and allows for higher level combat art without penalty, allows for modification points.
- Concentration - directly improves regeneration time.
- Armor Lore - will indirectly increase the Physical Resistance bonus by a percentage (after it is added to the player's other sources of armor).
The following attributes will affect this combat art:
- Stamina will lower regeneration time
Usage Strategies
- Provides a surprisingly large amount of physical resistance, especially when used with Armor Lore.
- The Mystic Stormite Expertise gold mod provides a scaling regeneration bonus that will improve with additional runes. This is most useful early in a character's life when regeneration time balancing is difficult. This mod becomes less useful over time however, as the Crystal Skin CA has a built-in reduction of Mystic Stormite regeneration times already, and the natural progression of a character in higher levels means drastically decreased regeneration times in general.
- The Frosty Breeze gold mod provides a scaling damage bonus that will improve with additional runes. This is most useful late in a character's life when a percentage based increase in damage means tens to hundreds of points in additional ice damage.
- The Focalise mod increases spell intensity for all Combat Arts, not just Mystic Stormite.

Pros
- It will directly reduce the regeneration times for the Mystic Stormite aspect
- Good spell resistance bonus
- Great ice damage mitigation
Cons
- Harms the regeneration times of all combat arts
