Chance to block a melee hit with your shield. A block stops the shield's Block Value in damage, and each point of Strength adds 1% to it. Agility raises the chance. Needs a shield.

Your builder: 1.72–2.76× weapon damage, growing with the skill, and 15 rage on a hit · instant · free · 5s cooldown
Mighty Blow
A heavy blow that spends Rage, off the global cooldown so it lands between your other attacks.
A heavy blow for Rage you have to spend: 3.66–6.6× weapon damage — off the global cooldown, so it goes between your other presses and again every second while the Rage lasts · instant · 30 rage · 1s cooldown
2
Simmer Passive

Charge
Hurl yourself at an enemy to open the fight: a hit stuns it and fills you with Rage.
Hurl yourself at them: 1.29–2.15× weapon damage, and on a hit a 2–3.5s stun and 25 rage — the opener. Out of a fight, 'charge <direction>' runs down the line into the first foe on it, and with nothing here to hit a bare charge takes a line with a foe you can see on it · no shield needed · free · 20s cooldown
6
Fighting Style Passive
What you hold changes Mighty Blow. With a shield, Counterblow: after you block, your next Mighty Blow within 6s costs half its Rage.

13
Battle Craft Passive
What you hold gives you one of three. With a shield, Reprisal: when you block, you strike back at once for 0.43–0.69× weapon damage, at most once every 3s. With a two-handed weapon, Sweeping Blows: a Mighty Blow that lands also strikes one other enemy already fighting you, for half its damage. With a weapon in each hand, Flurry: each off-hand swing that lands takes 0.5s off Steady Strike's cooldown

With a two-handed weapon, Deathblow: Execute is usable on a target under 35% health, in place of 25%. With a weapon in each hand, Rampage: each Mighty Blow that lands within 4s of the last one makes your next Mighty Blow deal 10% more, up to 30%
21
Bloodletting Passive
Each time your Rend's bleed ticks, you gain 4 Rage
22
Triple Attack Passive
Chance to strike a third time after a successful Double Attack. Improves with Dexterity.

Promotion and talents

At level 25, bearing the Blue Rune, a Warrior kneels before the Priest of the Dawn and rises a Champion. Promotion brings five talent points, and each Champion level after it one more: a Champion 15, as far as the runes reach for now, has 19.

Spend them in any section, in any order. Each rank costs more than the last, and a few talents need another at full rank first. Buying every talent here would take 312 points, so what you buy is a direction. The priest gives every point back whenever you want to choose again.

Abilities, level by level

1
Stab
A quick stab that builds combo points. With a dagger it hits far harder on an enemy that isn't fighting you, and hardest from hiding.
Stab them: 3.64–4.72× weapon damage face to face, and with a dagger 7.04–11.61× as a Backstab when they're not on you, 8.13–12× as a Shadowstab from hide · one combo point, two for a Backstab or a Shadowstab · instant · 25 energy, 60 for a Backstab or a Shadowstab · no cooldown of its own: Energy is the limit
2
Sneak
Move between rooms unseen. Improves with Agility.
3
Vital Strike
Spends your combo points on one strike: the more points, the harder it lands.
Spend your combo points on one strike: 0.7–1.04× weapon damage, plus 0.546× per combo point squared, so one or two points barely beat a Stab and five land about five Stabs' worth · spent on a hit — a miss keeps them · needs at least one combo point · off the global cooldown, so it goes right after a Stab · instant · 20 energy · 1.5s cooldown
4
Recover Passive
A Stab that misses or is dodged gives back half its Energy: 13 of a Stab's 25, 30 of a Backstab's 60
5
Hide
Out of a fight, vanish where you stand: nothing sees or attacks you while you hold still.
Vanish where you stand: unseen and un-aggroable while you hold still · certain with nothing watching, or in the dark · not in combat · instant · no cost · 6s cooldown
6
Unseen Strike Passive
A Shadowstab cannot miss or be dodged
7
Double Attack Passive
Chance to strike again on an autoattack. Improves with Dexterity.
8

Coat your weapon: a hit can sting for 0.31–0.62× weapon damage more, and that can crit · procs on 20% of hits, rising to 35% with your Poison skill · 'poison stinging' to coat, 'poison' to wipe it off · one poison at a time · costs nothing
9
Parry Passive
Chance to deflect a melee attack outright. Improves with Agility.
10
Dual Wield Passive
Wield a one-handed weapon in your off hand as well as your main. Each hand swings and rolls Double/Triple on its own.
11
Riposte Passive
After a successful Parry, a chance at a free counter-swing.
12
Distract
Toss a stone into the next room: one creature there comes to look, away from the rest.
Toss a stone into the next room — 'distract <dir>', or with no direction toward a next room with something in it: one creature there comes to your room to look, lingers 6–24s (each on its own clock), and goes back. A clumsy throw brings everything there — 40% falling to 5% with skill — and a crowd can find you in Hide. If it can see you or your companion when it arrives, it attacks; attack a searcher and every searcher joins in · doesn't break Hide · not in combat · instant · no cost · 20s cooldown
13
Pick Pocket
From Hide, lift coin from a creature that is not in a fight: about half of what it would drop, once from each creature · 'pickpocket <creature>', or 'pickpocket' alone for your target or one here · succeeds 50–100% of the time, less against a creature above your level · a success keeps you hidden; a failure shows you to it, and it attacks · creatures only · not in combat · instant · no cost · 10s cooldown
14
Fling Dirt
Fling dirt in their eyes: 0.39–0.77× weapon damage, stuns 1.5–3s and interrupts a cast (full cooldown reset) · no gear needed · costs nothing · off the global cooldown · 15s cooldown
15
Seize the Opening Passive
While a creature is stunned, by you or by anyone, your Stab on it is a Backstab even though it is fighting you (60 Energy, two combo points, and it needs a dagger). With less than 60 Energy it is a Stab, as ever. Without a dagger, your Stab on a stunned creature costs no Energy
16
Triple Attack Passive
Chance to strike a third time after a successful Double Attack. Improves with Dexterity.
17
Feint
Ready a parry: the next melee attack made on you within 4s is parried for certain, and your Riposte follows it for certain. Your threat on the target is halved, so one with someone else to turn on may turn · no damage · off the global cooldown · instant · 15 energy · 15s cooldown
18
Dulling Poison
Coat your weapon: a hit can numb the creature, so its melee attacks deal 10% less damage for 8s · does not stack; a new proc renews it · procs on 20% of hits, rising to 35% with your Poison skill · 'poison dulling' to coat, 'poison' to wipe it off · one poison at a time · costs nothing
19
Rapid Strikes
Spend your combo points on a strike for each one: 0.93–1.47× weapon damage a strike, your hands taking turns, and every strike that lands can set off your poison as any hit can · all your points are spent at the press, and each strike rolls its own hit · needs at least one combo point · off the global cooldown · instant · 18 energy · 1.5s cooldown
20
Follow Through Passive
Vital Strike and Rapid Strikes give back 3 Energy for each combo point they spend: 15 at five points
21
Aimed Distract Passive
'distract <direction> <creature>' chooses which creature comes, among those in a next room you have seen into: noticed by your Perception, or lately looked at. With no creature named, one comes at random, as before. A clumsy throw still brings everything
22
Creeping Poison
Coat your weapon: a hit can sink in a poison that bleeds for 0.23–0.46× weapon damage every 3s, three times · stacks to 5, and each new stack refreshes the bleed · procs on 20% of hits, rising to 35% with your Poison skill · 'poison creeping' to coat, 'poison' to wipe it off · one poison at a time · 6 energy per proc · an empty pool just stops the procs
23
Turn the Blade Passive
A Riposte that lands gives you 15 Energy and one combo point
24
Twist the Knife Passive
For 4s after your Shadowstab lands, one Stab on that creature is a Backstab even though it is now fighting you (60 Energy, two combo points). With less than 60 Energy a press is a Stab, and the Backstab waits out its 4s

Promotion and talents

At level 25, bearing the Blue Rune, a Rogue kneels before the Priest of the Dawn and rises a Shadowblade. Promotion brings five talent points, and each Shadowblade level after it one more: a Shadowblade 15, as far as the runes reach for now, has 19.

Spend them in any section, in any order. Each rank costs more than the last, and a few talents need another at full rank first. Buying every talent here would take 210 points, so what you buy is a direction. The priest gives every point back whenever you want to choose again.

Promotion and talents

At level 25, bearing the Blue Rune, an Acolyte kneels before the Priest of the Dawn and rises a Cleric. Promotion brings five talent points, and each Cleric level after it one more: a Cleric 15, as far as the runes reach for now, has 19.

Spend them in any section, in any order. Each rank costs more than the last, and a few talents need another at full rank first. Buying every talent here would take 214 points, so what you buy is a direction. The priest gives every point back whenever you want to choose again.

Wood Elves, High Elves, Dark Elves, Dwarves, Gnomes, Ogres and Halflings · Promotes to a Ranger at 25 · Talents

Abilities, level by level

1
Quick Shot
A fast arrow from range that builds Focus. Up close it becomes a chop of your hatchet.
The bow's basic attack. At range, an arrow: 2.0s to draw, 2.26–3.15× bow damage; Double and Triple Attack nock a second and a third. In the room, Hack: instant, a hatchet chop for 2.43–3.53× weapon damage · builds focus: 12 from Quick Shot, 6 from Hack
Call Pet
Calls your pet to fight at your side. Which animal it is depends on your race.
Calls your pet to your side — a black widow, a bear, a white hound, a ram, a sandhorn or a clockwork bear, by your race — at your level · it can't be called while it lies dead: revive it · instant · while your pet is out, this key is Pet Attack

2
Fetch Passive

3
Mark Quarry

Marks your target, here or down a line, without starting the fight · the first arrow you loose at it cannot miss and is a critical hit, once a creature · you can track it anywhere on your level · one mark at a time · lasts 2 minutes · instant · 5 focus
4
Meet the Charge Passive
When a creature reaches your room off a charge, your next Hack at it within 3s deals 1.5× its damage and builds 12 Focus, as a Quick Shot does
5
Heavy Shot
A slow, careful shot from range that spends Focus for heavy damage. Up close, you and your pet strike together.
The payoff. At range, Heavy Shot: 2.5s to draw, 3–6× bow damage. In the room, Pack Strike: instant, 3.53–5.08× weapon damage, and your pet strikes beside you at double — if it is on the same target. On a mob that isn't fighting yet, Deadeye: 3.97–5.85× bow damage · 35 focus · no cooldown
6
Mark Anew Passive
When the creature marked by your Mark Quarry dies, the mark moves at no cost to another that is fighting you or your pet, for a full 2 minutes
7
Double Attack Passive
Chance to strike again on an autoattack. Improves with Dexterity.

Pins the target where it stands for 4–7s: it can't leave the room. If it's in the room with you, you vault out an exit as you shoot — 'pin <dir>', or a random one — and stay in the fight. From a room away or more, you fall back one room along the line, where there is one and the target stays in sight · 0.55–0.83× bow damage · instant · 15 focus · 20s cooldown
9

12
Step In Passive

13
Scout Passive
'pet scout <direction>': your pet runs the line and you are told what it saw, 3 rooms past your own sight, marked on your map as a look marks it · out of a fight, with your pet at your side · at most once every 10s
14
Venomed Arrows
Fill your quiver with venomed arrows: every arrow that lands poisons the creature for 0.07–0.13× bow damage every 3s, three times · stacks to 5, and every arrow that lands renews the poison · the poison bites deeper as your Fletching skill rises · 'quiver serpent' to fill your quiver, 'quiver' to go back to plain arrows · one kind of arrow at a time · bow only: your melee weapon carries nothing · costs nothing
15
Flanking Shot Passive
Your arrows at a creature that is fighting your pet are 10% more likely to be critical hits

17
Barbed Arrows
Fill your quiver with barbed arrows: every arrow that lands leaves barbs in the creature, and for 4s its movement is slowed: leaving the room it stands in takes it 1.5–2.5× as long · every arrow that lands starts the 4s again · the slow grows stronger as your Fletching skill rises · deals no extra damage · 'quiver barbed' to fill your quiver, 'quiver' to go back to plain arrows · one kind of arrow at a time · bow only: your melee weapon carries nothing · costs nothing
18
Triple Attack Passive
Chance to strike a third time after a successful Double Attack. Improves with Dexterity.
19
Disrupting Shot Passive
A Pinning Shot that lands also stops a cast in progress, and that spell waits out its full cooldown
20
Feign Death
You drop, and everything fighting or chasing you loses you: chasers give up and go home, and anything that was on your pet stays on it · the fight is over for you · instant · 60s cooldown
21
Bodkin Arrows
Fill your quiver with bodkin arrows: every arrow you shoot ignores 40–60% of the creature's armor · ignores more as your Fletching skill rises · 'quiver bodkin' to fill your quiver, 'quiver' to go back to plain arrows · one kind of arrow at a time · bow only: your melee weapon carries nothing · costs nothing
22
Finishing Shot
Only on a target below 20% health: 2.98–5.52× bow damage, at range or point-blank · 1.0s cast · 20 focus · 10s cooldown
23
Mark for the Kill Passive
Finishing Shot is usable below 35% health, in place of 20%, on the creature marked by your Mark Quarry
24
Nock Again Passive
After a Finishing Shot kills, your next Heavy Shot or Deadeye within 6s has no draw: it is instant

Promotion and talents

Spend them in any section, in any order. Each rank costs more than the last, and a few talents need another at full rank first. Buying every talent here would take 255 points, so what you buy is a direction. The priest gives every point back whenever you want to choose again.

11
The Long Dead Passive
You sense the long dead buried under a room, where nobody else sees anything, and Raise Dead brings one up with no corpse: 'raise dead grave' · it stands at its full strength, whatever your Conjuration · each wild place holds two or three a day, or on some days one far stronger · a grave answers once

16
Dread
Rot that gets worse: 8–14 dmg × 5 ticks over 15s, and each tick hits 12% of the first harder than the one before — the last hits about 50% harder than the first · recasting starts the climb over, so the decision is to leave it alone · 2.0s cast · 24 mana

21
Thrall's End Passive
When the dead you raised falls for good, it bursts: 26–44 cold dmg, by your Conjuration, to every creature that was attacking it
22
Soul Rend

Last Breath Passive
A Killing Frost that kills is ready again at once

At level 25, bearing the Blue Rune, a Shaman kneels before the Priest of the Dawn and rises a Mystic. Promotion brings five talent points, and each Mystic level after it one more: a Mystic 15, as far as the runes reach for now, has 19.

Spend them in any section, in any order. Each rank costs more than the last, and a few talents need another at full rank first. Buying every talent here would take 236 points, so what you buy is a direction. The priest gives every point back whenever you want to choose again.
