Precision

Precision is the pinnacle practice for those who are trained in the art of war.

The warrior specializing in precision is an expert in two-handed weapons. Precision provides increased damage dealing as well as the ability to use the parry skill with two handed weapons. Some of the abilities work with bows and one-handed weapons.

For specialization with "sword and shield" please consider Devotion. For specialization without a shield please consider Deception or Wrestling.

In Testing: This is the design as of Friday June 12th at 11:10 AM after a late night of talking. This will be put in game at some point after now, and may very well change before final release.

Training

Training precision on Sanctuary works like all of the other skills and can be trained by activating the skill or casting any of the spell abilities.

Passive Ability

The Champion receives both a passive damage increase and the ability to use their parry skill with two-handed weapons based on their Precision proficiency.

Passive Ability	Description
Parrying	A character with Precision as well as the Parrying skill will be able to block with a two-handed weapon. Your parry ability with a two-handed weapon is the average of your parry skill and precision skill. {Parry Skill} + {Precision Skill} / 2. If you do not have the parry skill at all you will parry as if the parry skill was 50. You can not parry with a bow. You do not gain the AR bonus provided from actually having a shield equipped.
Precision	The Precision skill passively grants a damage bonus equal to a 20% damage increase at 100 skill. The damage bonus scales, so at 50 skill you would get a 10% bonus. The damage bonus applies to all weapons; two-handed, one-handed, and bows.

Spell Abilities

Spell	Stamina	Minimum Skill	Duration	Weapon Required	Area of Effect
Perfection	no cost	0.0	until target changes	Any	Caster
	Perfection is activated by using the Perfection Skill. When Perfection is activated it replaces the passive damage bonus of Precision and applies only to your current target. Once the target dies or you change targets perfection stops and reverts to precisions passive ability. This is ideal for mobs that take many hits to kill. Each time you hit you gain a small damage bonus. Each time you miss you loose a small damage bonus. The damage bonus is equal to your skill/10, so at 100 skill you gain a 10% damage bonus every time you hit, and lose 10% every time you miss, for a maximum bonus of 100%.
Honorable Execution	5	35	6 to 10 seconds	2 handed	Caster
	Honorable execution is designed to catch mobs before they run away. When you use the ability you get an immediate attack. If you kill the mob, you get a scaled short swing speed bonus. If you do not kill the mob, your swing speed is reduced for a period of time.
Lightning Strike	10	55.0	Instant	Any	Caster
	Allows a single attack with a Hit Chance Increase based on Precision skill level. Also, some hits under the effect of a Lighting Strike will be deemed Critical Hits and will do extra damage.
Counter Attack	5	65.0	Next successful Parrying within 30 seconds	2 handed	Caster
	Places you in a defensive stance that allows you to automatically counter attack the next time you successfully parry, without interrupting your normal swing timer. The Counter Attack, functions like a normal weapon attack, it is just a bonus swing and takes normal hit and miss ratios into account, and therefore can miss.
Confidence	10	75.0	4 with an 8 sec cool down	any	Caster
	A scaled heal over time that increases Hit Point Regeneration rate for 4 seconds upon activation and can not be interrupted.
Momentum	10	90.0	Instant	2 handed	Caster
	Works only on multiple targets. A successful hit on an opponent results in another hit attempt on a different, adjacent opponent. Normal hit and miss ratios apply. A damage bonus of 100% is applied to the second target, if the first target is killed.
Evasion	10	100.0	3 to 6 seconds with a 2 second bonus if your Precision is above 100.0 and both Tactics and Anatomy are 100.0 or better	2 handed	Caster
	Increases your chance to parry, also grants the ability to parry direct damage attacks from other sources, such as spells and Dragons Breath. Evasion can only be used once every 20 seconds. The chance to block is based on Precision, Anatomy, and Tactics. The duration of Evasion is also influenced by these skills. You can only cast Evasion with a two-handed weapon equipped. If you are disarmed or swap weapons the ability will cancel.

Stances

Evasion, Confidence and Counter Attack place the player into a Stance. You can only be in one stance at a time, and if you put yourself into a stance while still in a difference stance, the previous stance is canceled and the new one takes effect.
