Trivia

• Despite the skill icon showing the Ebon Vanguard making a deft strike with his sword, this skill is ranged.
• This generic ranged attack skill is the only one that can be used by player characters. It is also the only pure attack skill that can be used with a wand or staff. Previously, Smite was considered an attack skill and worked similarly, but was changed before the release of Nightfall.
• In Dungeons & Dragons, Deft Strike is the name of a Rogue attack. That attack, however, can be used with both melee and ranged weapons.
