Skills And Attributes
- Delphic Arcania Lore presumably increases execution speed, but affects no visible numbers. As of Ice & Blood, the Lore increases the banishing potential number.
- Delphic Arcania Focus reduces regeneration time as usual.
- Concentration reduces regeneration time as usual.
- Stamina reduces regeneration time as usual.
Usage Strategies
- Will provide a chance to block enemy spells and CAs, i.e. the Kobold Chief's boulder throw attack.
- Can be used debuff enemies (can remove enemy energy shields like the 4 guardians or Gar Colossus).
- Will also prevent enemies from casting their own buffs.
- Can also be used as an AoE against Undead and/or T-Mutants.
- Possible strategy is to keep this ca around maximum ca level without penalty. This will increase the duration and casting strength meaning you don't have to re-cast it as often.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- A strong defensive CA against non-weapon-based attacks from enemies.
- Can provide an area of relative safety once the strength of the fear effect increases with higher levels.
- Multiple castings stack (power of CA stacks for magic expulsion).
Cons
- The CA is cast on a fixed circular area that does not move with the High Elf. If an enemy moves out of the circle, it is no longer affected.
