Combat (talent)

For the game mechanic, see Combat (gameplay)

Combat is a talent which determines the type of armor that the player can equip. Past level 1, every increase in combat level increases the player’s maximum health by 100 points, and energy by 5 points.

Gaining experience[]

Combat experience may be gained when the player defeats a mob using combat-based skills. If more than one player were involved in fighting the mob, the experience gained by each player will be the undivided experience given by the mob, in addition to some bonus experience points.

Combat experience can also be gained by completing quests. Most quests award several thousand XP in all talents upon completion.

Skills[]

The combat talent provides players with a number of skills that focus primarily on dealing damage, though at the cost of angering mobs significantly. Players who specialize in this talent can temporarily negate angered mobs' increased damage with Stored Strike. Using these skills in combat can grant XP to the combat talent if the mob is defeated.

All skills are awarded for free at the end of the Combat Talent Mark quest Beating Around the Bad Guys.
