Attributes (Character Stats)[]
Primary Attribute
- Stamina or Strength (Your primary stat is based on your chosen role. Tanks should focus on Stamina while Damage dealers should choose Strength.) Be aware that
Shield Form will swap Strength for increase your Stamina, making you much touger but costing you a good part of your DPS!
Other Important Attributes
- Strength (For tanks, you will need strength to increase your ability to deal damage, thereby increasing Aggro generation.)
- Dexterity (Dexterity allows you to dodge more incoming attacks and increases your ability to hit enemies.)
All classes need Stamina to increase their HP. Dungeon bosses often have area attacks that can kill players who neglect this stat.

Skill´s Basic Combos[]
Notes[]
A curse is any skill that has a cast bar. It varies depending on your secondary class. While 
Forge is active, when it is triggered and 
Chain Drive is activated, the next Curse used will be Instant and Critical!
 |
While the above is the technical definition of a Curse, it is not really valid in-game. The  Endless Rage will be applied to ANYTHING that happens after the Endless Rage is cast. If there is a skill called Pick Your Nose, and it happens a split-second after casting Endless Rage, it will be an Instant Critical attack. |
Good news first: As a pint-sized Scot Dwarf your well of rage is an easy thing to build and maintain. As Bruce Banner famously told Captain America, "My secret is I'm always angry". Your Rage will grow quickly, and fades much slower than most other fighters. This means that, other than your first fight after considerable downtime, you will probably never have to ask yourself "Do I have enough Rage to use that skill?"
Rune Pulse[]
Because 
Rune Pulse has no cost, and Forge/Chain Drive makes it reload almost instantly, this is your go-to spam button. Cast it every time it reloads! To really get the best boom, preface Rune Pulse with Endless Rage as often as you can.
Champion / Mage: skill name needed[]
Now for the less-good news: The Mage half of your soul yearns to pew-pew (
Fireball and 
Lightning), but the power-drain means you will have to use it sparingly. You may want to concentrate on getting gear with Intelligence to increase the size of your mana pool, but no matter how you stack it you are gonna use a lot of Mana potions.
Champion / Priest: Rising Tide[]
Champion / Warlock: Psychic Arrows[]
More info[]
As a Champion, you cannot learn ANY Elite Skills until you have learned 
Shield Form! To do so, speak to Logden Darkstove to learn the basics of Runic Armaments and, once you have reached level 16, gain Shield Form.
