Usage Strategies Baneful smite has very long range, which a player should learn to utilize to the best of his ability. It should be used against small groups of enemies (2-6). A player may improve it with the "Chain" mod to strike 2 targets in close proximity for full damage. Can also be used as "debuff" strategy by choosing the mods Laggard and Confuse, which will also effect bosses. Bosses will have a lesser chance of hitting a player successfully. Pros and Cons Pros Very long combat art range. Will always hit any enemy targeted. Good damage for a primary combat art Can be modded to strike 2 targets for full damage without missing Cons Challenging to balance damage and regeneration time. Damage is relatively low compared to similar skills of other casters. Stats Chart Duration (which?) is 0.5 seconds. Magic damage modifier is increased by 2*CA-Lvl percentage points.
