Introduction[]
This page contains a ranking of relative skill strength. All forms of damage in AQ are measured relative to a normal attack with a melee weapon in a neutral armor. In the tables below the relative strength of skills is shown in the Multiplier column which indicates how much the skill is worth relative to the baseline standard described above.
- Example: A *2 multiplier would mean that a skill/spell deals damage equal to 2 normal attacks with a melee weapon in a neutral armor.
The Nerd Tab is intended for anyone who would like to verify my calculations, or see how the number has been reached.
For a better understanding of the different skill types, see the Skill Types page.
General Information[]
- The ranking assumes the appropriate stat regime for a pure build.
- Pure Warrior: STR: 250, DEX: 250, LUK: 250
- Pure Ranger: STR: 250, DEX: 250, LUK: 250
- Pure Mage: INT: 250, DEX: 250, LUK: 250
- The ranking assumes the use of the Combat Type appropriate booster pet & guest for a pure build.
- Pure Warrior: Dunamis Pet & Guest
- Pure Ranger: Thernda Pet & Guest
- Pure Mage: Poelala Pet & Guest
- The ranking ignores how skills interact with stat changes/miscs/etc and should be taken with a grain of salt, nonetheless it serves as a good reference point.
- In the tables below skill names for all armors are listed in the Skill/Spell Info column.
Assumptions[]
Weapon Based Attacks: A 0-proc weapon with a +15% additive damage boost is assumed for Melee/Ranged/Magic.
Spell-Tagged Skills: Nothing is assumed for these entries.
Normal Attack Skills: Nothing is assumed for these entries.
Instructions[]
The lists are already sorted by strength. If you want to make comparisons between different uses of armors or within a specific damage type, click on Armor or Damage-Type, then hold Shift and click twice on Multiplier. This will sort the entries in power, strongest to weakest for that specific armor.
