Acquisition[]
Notes[]
- Being a Dual Attack, this will trigger effects like the Critical Strikes/Critical Eye energy gain, Dark Apostasy, and Way of Perfection twice.
- The relatively short recharge time combined with the low energy cost means that it can be used in cheap "looping" attack combos.
- This attack can also be used to renew Critical Defenses and Critical Agility.
- The energy is gained even if critical hit is denied by an effect such as Stoneflesh Aura.
Energy gain[]
This table will show you the total amount of Energy you will regain per use of the skill. Remember that since it's a Dual attack, you will critical twice unless one or both attacks miss or get blocked. Using zealous daggers or the Critical Eye skill will increase your net energy gain by two; using both will increase it by four, for a max net gain of 11 energy at 13+ Critical Strikes.
