Revision as of 20:17, 9 May 2020

Overview

This page is a collection of similar features and abilities from each guild. Hopefully, this page will be useful to players searching for specific effects or for new players trying to decide what guild to join.

Please keep in mind that this page only covers guild similarities and not everything that a guild can do. For example, an Empath's ability to transfer wounds or the Trader's ability to own shops are not covered here.

Keys:

All signature spells and abilities are bolded.
Area of Effect (AOE) - The ability can be used against multiple targets at once.
Cyclic Spell (C) - Cyclic spells last indefinitely but require additional mana from Harness, a Cambrinth with Dedicated Cambrinth User feat, or Attunement with Raw Channeling feat. Only one cyclic spell can be active at a time. Bards can Segue from one cyclic spell to another.
Group (G) - Player's entire group gains the benefits of the ability.
Pulse (P) - Periodically trigger again after use. Usually lasts for a limited type or is a cyclic spell.
Ritual Spell (R) - Has a high mana cost and usually requires a Ritual Focus.
Abilities with a (*) have notes at the bottom of the table with additional information.

Many guilds have multiple ways to deal this damage type. To keep the list readable, I'm using the following Key to show what is and is not possible.

Key:

A = AOE Option, spells and abilities

C = Collateral Damage (Single target spell, which deals lesser damage to nearby targets)

D = DFA

H = Heavy TM option available

I = Armor Piercing

M = Multi-strike option available

P = Pulses, non-cyclical option available

R = Reactive damage (Shield - on hit of the target)

S = Single Target option available

Z = Charged shot (prep and then fire when you're ready like dragon breath)

(U) = Non-corporeal/evil/Undead Only (or any subset of the same)

For the modifiers (like armor piercing) assume single target unless modified with A(ie: AM for AOE M for Single Target)

Bolds for signature abilities or spells.

* Cyclic, transformation, limited, etc...

** Technically Barbarians have Whirlwind, but it's not useful for raw damage vs training.

**** Requires the empath to shock themselves - Shock dramatically changes playstyle and limits several abilities.

Barriers and Damage Resistance

Barriers come in a few different types.

Key:

Ablative (A) - Barrier lasts for a certain number of uses and will no longer function afterwards. This is independent of the barrier's duration.
Non-ablative (NA) - Barrier has unlimited uses until its duration runs out.
Integrity (I) - Barrier reduces the effectiveness of an attack instead of blocking it.
Potency (PO) - Barrier completely blocks the attack.
