Jab

Required Level: 1
Prerequisites: None
Synergies: None
Details: Jab is a rapid triple attack to the same monster. The low mana cost and high accuracy of this make it a very useful melee skill. It works well with spears or javelins. Even with the initial damage penalty it's still quite a bit better than a plain attack for the speed bonus. Lots of points in Jab are not recommended unless it will be your main skill, since the damage increases are so low per point.

• In early versions of the game, weapon speed was ignored with this skill, and it was devastating early on with any pike. Weapon speed is now factored in and a fast weapon is essential.

Lore:
Hunting in the dense rain forests of the Isles Amazon Islands is fraught with many obstacles. Confining overgrowth and fierce indigenous animals conspire to make combat difficult, if not impossible. Early in training, Amazon spear-women must learn to overcome these conditions. By honing their hunting techniques to the point where they are able to deliver many powerful spear thrusts in rapid succession, they learn to finish off one opponent before turning to slay another. The Jab is the most basic of the skills designed to accomplish this tactic.
