It’s on the left, so make sure to click to open the left tab sidebar to easily sort! Click this button on the

left side of the screen to open the tabs.

Why the ugly font?

The Builder I am using is formatted for courier and getting the skills organized without using courier

is a nightmare. I might update it but for now we have ugly font.

Why is everything Chaotic Neutral or Lawful Neutral?

Being good in DDO makes you very susceptible to many different negative effects. While it is fun for

roleplay purposes, there are several negative spells that have devastating consequences if you are good

but have no effect on you if you are neutral. Additionally, there are very dangerous chaos effects that

do not affect you if you are chaotic which is why most builds opt for chaotic neutral unless there is a

reason to be lawful or good.

Melee Builds

Beginner Fighter

DDO Beginner Basics ~ The Fighter

What Type of Build is this?

This build is a melee fighter who is designed to play with a sword and shield. You get the ability to have special shield attacks, like a shield bash and stun, and you passively hit people with your shield while attacking with your axe. This is meant to use a dwarven war axe as a dwarf, but if you decide to play a different race just remember to take dwarven war axe as a feat so you can still use one as it is very good.

Do I have to play as this race?

No, any race is fine, but you will lose some constitution. If you decide not to play as a dwarf, you will need to take dwarven war axe proficiency at level 2, which will move dodge to level 6, which will move mobility to level 9, which will move spring to level 12, and then you will have to give up on whirlwind attack. If you are a human who gets an extra feat you can just take the proficiency at level 11 and make no changes to the feat order.

How Easy/Hard is this build to play solo?

This build is very easy if you make sure you have potions stocked and bring a healer hireling with you. Shields give you lots of defence, especially from traps, allowing you to easily stay alive while adventuring solo.

Do you have an alternative build?

If you would rather play as a fighter tank I have a fighter build right here! Just keep in mind, it’s meant to be played in a group because it is a tank and works best with friends as it has very low damage.

Beginner Barbarian

DDO Beginner Basics ~ The Barbarian

What Type of Build is this?

This build is a straightforward straight up beat em up character. Big two handed axe, lots of damage. You get some passive healing at the higher levels and some temporary hit points in the early levels to keep you swinging. As a note, I don’t take the lock bash until later, but if you want it early, take it right after you finish maxing blood trail so you can open locks the whole game.

Do I have to play as this race?

No, you can play any race, but half orc feels good and lets you open locks with your face. If you decide to change race just make sure you max your strength.

How Easy/Hard is this build to play solo?

This build is really easy to solo. Blood tribute is an ability that you get extremely early from the frenzied berserker tree and as long as you have it you mostly can’t die as long as you use it. With some potions and a healer hireling you will be in good shape.

Do you have an alternative build?

….not really! Barbarian is easily my least favourite class so I don’t really play it much. I do have this imbue focused barbarian that tries to maximize the power of the frenzy ability, and it does work, but it is a bit quirky.

Beginner Paladin

DDO Beginner Basics ~ The Paladin

What Type of Build is this?

This is a two handed fighting beat em up holy warrior. The idea here is you get a lot of strength and you smite evil with a greatsword, while also having some buffs and healing spells on the side.

Do I have to play as this race?

No, you can be any race. If you don’t go human then you just lose out on taking the feat power critical. Additionally the skills below only require UMD as you can select whatever you think is good as a human, but if you are not a human then don’t worry about it.

How Easy/Hard is this build to play solo?

This build is fairly easy as paladin gets healing as well as immunity to different effects and good saving throws. Overall as long as you bring a healer hireling you should be good, just watch out for traps!

Do you have an alternative build?

I actually have a bow paladin build that is pretty fun and works well, although you will want to own the horizon walker tree to get the best out of it!

Beginner Monk

DDO Beginner Basics ~ The Monk

What Type of Build is this?

This build is a hand to hand monk who uses melee techniques to stun enemies while also bashing skulls with their fists.

Do I have to play as this race?

No, but I do recommend you stick to a race with +2 to dex, or else you will need to invest more into dex and it really throws the build off. Go with Elf, Halfling, or Eladrin.

How Easy/Hard is this build to play solo?

Monk is a really good solo character once it gets rolling but your first few levels might be a little slow. Once you get wisdom to hit and damage at level 3 from henshin mystic it gets easier. And once you hit level 12 and get whirlwind attack it is a lot easier.

Do you have an alternative build?

If you want to throw shurikens instead you can check this build out here! Just be aware that shuriken levelling is really really horrible and if you start DDO with a shuriken build I promise you will hate your experience and quit, so maybe don’t start with shuriken. However, once you get to the endgame, it is the #1 top damage build in the entire game, so there is a pay off.

Spell Builds

Beginner Sorcerer

DDO Beginner Basics ~ The Sorcerer

What Type of Build is this?

This is a spellcaster that uses fire and lightning spells while levelling and then becomes a fire elemental for taking on the endgame, allowing you to use exclusively firespells and burn down anything that stands in your way.

Do I have to play as this race?

You don’t but… Dragonborn is the best option by a lot. You will lose a lot of power if you play something else so I don’t recommend it. Additionally you will have to figure out where to spend the 19 points you spend in the dragonborn tree into something else if you change race.

How Easy/Hard is this build to play solo?

It’s a bit of a mixed bag. Spellcasters are pretty slow for the first few levels, but once you get to level 4 and you get scorch you will start levelling a lot faster. You will want potions and a cleric hireling, and you really need to focus on your positioning to make sure you take as little damage as you can. It will take some time, but once you master using your spell like abilities from your trees you will have a fairly easy time, but spellcasters take some practice.

Do you have an alternative build?

I have a melee focused build that plays with the new Dhampir race, but it still works even if you don’t have dhampir. Just remember your potions!

Beginner Cleric

DDO Bgeinner Basics ~ The Cleric

What Type of Build is this?

This build is a fire domain cleric build based around burning up your enemies in a sea of holy fire. Sure, you can heal people, after you finish burninating the countryside.

Do I have to play as this race?

No, but there are no better options for free. But that is because the free races don’t really have a lot of cleric synergy. If you do drop human and go for something else then you will have to drop a feat, and in this case you would drop improved mental toughness.

How Easy/Hard is this build to play solo?

This character has a slow start, like all spellcasters, but once you get some spell-like abilities going from your trees and start getting some metamagics going it will feel much much better. You are also able to easily heal yourself and whatever hireling you bring along for the ride. However when you encounter fire immune monsters, like iron golems or fire elementals, you are really going to slow down a bit, which is where the light spells come in.

Do you have an alternative build?

Nope! I don’t really play a lot of cleric, but I’m sure I will have something soon.

Beginner Wizard

DDO Beginner Basics ~ The Wizard

What Type of Build is this?

This is an evocation wizard who focuses on casting damaging spells using magic, who is also able to double specialize and have powerful enchantments for controlling the battlefield at the higher levels.

Do I have to play as this race?

No, but other than gnome I recommend drow for the INT bonus. Gnome gets access to greater colour spray which is one of the best crowd control spells for levelling and it is extremely good.

For any other race, just max intelligence and have fun.

How Easy/Hard is this build to play solo?

Wizard can be comfortable for soloing but it has a really rough start. Once you hit level 7 you will be able to cast all of the powerful negative aura spells that can heal you when you assume an undead shroud, but before then you will be reliant on potions or a hireling for healing. As long as you are good at managing your spellpoints and using your spell-like abilities well then you can have a good time soloing.

Do you have an alternative build?

If you want to be an illusionist (and this build is way better if you own feydark illusionist), I have this build here.

If you want to be a melee, I have a build here, which you can find under Update 54/55 called the Death Knight.

Beginner Favoured Soul

[Insert Video Here]

What Type of Build is this?

This is a holy archon of light who shows their power to others in the form of deadly searing light. As a full spellcaster you are able to burn holes in your opponents with magic, while also having strong healing for yourself and others.

Do I have to play as this race?

No, if you don’t want to be a human than just give up on one of the later shield feats and move the feats down.

How Easy/Hard is this build to play solo?

Unlike cleric that has a really tough time in the early game, favored soul gets wisdom to hit and damage with their favored weapons, and in this case that is a quarter staff. So for the early game you can carry a quarterstaff and then smack monsters while you are waiting to get better spells and spell-like abilities to come online. Overall this is an extremely easy solo character, especially once you get the close wounds spell-like ability as you become effectively immortal.

Do you have an alternative build?

Coming Soooooon.

DDO Beginner Basics ~ The Druid

What Type of Build is this?

This is a melee druid build that focuses on becoming a wolf and quickly taking down foes. You support yourself and allies with healing magic and buffs, as well as dealing major damage to foes with quick bites. In this build your weapon of choice is a falchion, so make sure to get one as fast as possible and keep it in hand the entire time.

Do I have to play as this race?

No, you don’t have to. Half-orc gives you access to lock bash to open locks, as well as more strength for damage and even more orc damage making this the best option. But if you want to play something else, any race is fine.

How Easy/Hard is this build to play solo?

This is an extremely easy solo build. You have healing, you have damage, you have defense. You can bring any type of hireling you want that you feel works well. The only thing you can’t do is disable traps but at least you are tanky enough to simply run through them most of the time.

Do you have an alternative build?

I have a cold druid build that you can find in the old repository, under Hardcore 7 as shifter caster druid.

[Insert Video Here]

What Type of Build is this?

This is an eldritch blaster with the focus on holding down the mouse button and blasting blasting blasting. This character doesn’t get any healing spells but it does let you easily melt all your foes.

Do I have to play as this race?

No, drow also gets a +2 to charisma so that works. Or any race is good for as well, except half orc or warforged really.

How Easy/Hard is this build to play solo?

Extremely easy. As long as you keep a safe distance from monsters you will find this character to be the easiest caster. You don’t have to worry about spellpoints as eldritch blast is free, so this lets you dip your toes into being a spellcaster. Bring a healer hireling or be your own healer by buying some healing wands/scrolls from vendors and use your extremely high UMD to restore your stats.

Do you have an alternative build?

I have a melee warlock build that might interest you! This build needs feydark illusionist though so make sure you have it before trying melee warlock.

Specialist Builds

Beginner Ranger

DDO Beginner Basics ~ The Ranger

What Type of Build is this?

This is a bow ranger build designed for you to start using a bow and live your legolas dream through the entire game. You can use either a shortbow or a long bow, but this is a bow build for sure.

Do I have to play as this race?

I would recommend any +2 DEX race, so Elf, Wood Elf, Halfling, and Eladrin are the top picks. Other races also work fine, but they are just worse for this build.

How Easy/Hard is this build to play solo?

This build used to be a little annoying solo, but now that you have area of effect bow attacks in the form of elemental inferno it is now very easy to level with a bow user. You can stay at range, use wands and potions as well as hirelings to heal yourself, and just plink away with some arrows. Even traps which are normally dangerous are ok for your build since you can just avoid traps later on with evasion and high reflex saves.

Do you have an alternative build?

Beginner Rogue

DDO Beginner Basics ~ The Rogue

What Type of Build is this?

This is an assassin rogue build that focuses on dual wielding daggers and dealing huge sneak attack damage as well as instantly killing monsters that get in your way.

Notes:

-Sneak attack applies after using SHIV or FEINT ATTACK. Not just from attacking while sneaking. In a group you also get sneak attack anytime a monster isn’t attacking you, so don’t worry about needing to always sneaking to get sneak attack damage. -This build gets significantly better when you have access to vistani knife fighter, as the attack rapid slash is a massive frontal AOE attack and you get it nearly instantly. Most builds work well without needing a tree, but if you want to play rogue a bunch, buying the vistani tree, although this build is designed to work without it.

Do I have to play as this race?

No, you just need to play as a +2 to DEX race. Wood elf, Halfling, Drow, or Eladrin are all good. This build is drastically worse without the +2 dex so be mindful if you change off of that.

How Easy/Hard is this build to play solo?

Most characters struggle with traps and it is the hardest part of their journey. Paradoxically, rogue can deal with traps easily but I would say it is the hardest character to solo level with. Fragile, and heavily reliant on allies to get sneak attacks, this character will be the most difficult of all the classes to start solo. Bring a healer hireling to take aggro, get potions, and practice your stealth. Once you get to level 20 it becomes easy street with the epic ability Quick Cutter, but until then, expect a bumpy ride solo. But in a group, rogues are coveted because they disable traps, and you get big damage by using your team mates as decoys, so out of all of the characters, consider grouping more as a rogue.

Do you have an alternative build?

Coming Soon.

Beginner Artificer

[Insert Video Here]

What Type of Build is this?

This is a crossbow artificer who uses a repeating crossbow. As a ranged character an advantage starting fights at range, as well as having great artificer abilities to deal massive AoE and burst damage as well as crowd control. You multiclass with rogue so you can get the ability to use your intelligence as your damage modifier for your weapons.

Note: -If you own the harper agent universal tree, or buy it, it gives you intelligence to hit for only 3 points allowing you very easily play pure artificer instead of multiclassing if you wish.

Do I have to play as this race?

Yes. You need too many different stats. If you want to play another race you will need to do a full stat rework and I just think it’s not worth it.

How Easy/Hard is this build to play solo?

Extremely easy. Disabling traps, big damage, healing, defense, crowd control. This build has it all, although it comes online at different times. The repeating crossbow attacks very quickly for an early game weapon and is one of the best options, which only gets better the higher level you go.

Do you have an alternative build?

If you want to try spellcasting artificer instead of crossbow, I have a guide for you right here!

Additionally, if you own harper agent, and want to try a harper build, this is a separate guide here.

Beginner Bard

[Insert Video Here]

What Type of Build is this?

This is a spellcaster bard that focuses on blasting enemies away with sonic damage as well as healing and supporting itself and its allies.

Do I have to play as this race?

No, but then you won’t live the devil went down to georgia experience! Seriously though, any race is fine, but tiefling gets +2 charisma so it is the best option.

How Easy/Hard is this build to play solo?

Extremely easy. Once you get the shout spell-like ability at level it becomes super easy street, although you start to slow down on damage around level 9-11. But at level 12 you get the horn of thunder spell-like ability and it picks back up again and never slows down. Really strong healing, crowd control, and damage, the hardest part is being careful with your spellpoints and not dying instantly to traps. Make sure to do quests on normal first so you learn the locations and then tumble through each trap!

Do you have an alternative build?

If you want to live the puss in boots experience and swashbuckle your way to the top, check it out here! You will need Tabaxi to play this build for the full experience.

Beginner Alchemist

[Insert Video Here]

What Type of Build is this?

This is a bombardier alchemist who focuses on dealing spell damage in great quantity. It is designed to use acid spells, but once you get level 12 you can choose any element you want and just play whatever you think is cool. Acid is the strongest for the epic levels for the synergy, but other elements are fun and can work. If you don’t want acid, just pick whatever you think is the coolest.

Do I have to play as this race?

No, but gnome is really strong and greater colorspray has excellent utility in this build. Drow is a step down, and everything after that is a bigger step down. As long as you are ok losing power, other races are fine. Half-orc is really bad for this.

How Easy/Hard is this build to play solo?

Very easy once you get a handle on your spell point spending. You can basically just live off of spell-like abilities for the most part and keep ontop of your spellpoints. The early game can be a difficult experience, but if you are able to use the inflict light wounds spell like ability effectively you will have reasonable AoE, only really struggling with some undead. From 12+ it is smooth sailing and nothing really slows alchemist down. It’s on of the best spellcasters in the game for a reason.

Do you have an alternative build?

If you want to play some melee, I have a melee monk alchemist that feels amazing and is a really strong melee build (This build REQUIRES Shadarkai and will not work without it)

[Insert Video Here]

What Type of Build is this?

This is a blaster warlock build that is designed to blast enemies with fire based eldritch blasts and then embrace your inner demon and enter a demon form to enter a melee mode where you rip enemies apart with unholy fire.

Do I have to play as this race?

You don’t have to, but tiefling gets fire immunity bypass from the enhancement tree and fire damage is the majority of your damage so you lose a lot if you don’t take it. You could also use eladrin chaosmancer if you own it to get fire immunity bypass as well, but that isn’t free.

How Easy/Hard is this build to play solo?

This build is easy to play, like regular warlock, but because you are locked into fire damage there will be many moments of tedium as there are a lot of fire resistant and fire immune enemies. Still easy to level, but definitely slower.

Do you have an alternative build?

I have a special buff bard support/healer/debuffer build that requires acolyte of the skin! It’s very cool and extremely good. You can find it here, under the category of Update 58.

Beginner Blightcaster

What Type of Build is this?

This is a spellcaster blaster druid that focuses on the physical spells and thorn powers while levelling but then swaps into hive mastery and acid spells for the epic portion of the game. This is the easiest and most powerful spellcaster to start playing as so if you are a beginner to casting entirely, blightcaster is a great way to get started. Really strong all through the game.

Do I have to play as this race?

No, human is just flexible. Just drop a natural fighting feat and the heal skill if you decide not to play as human. You can do whatever you want, blightcaster is extremely strong regardless.

How Easy/Hard is this build to play solo?

This is, with no exceptions, the strongest caster for levelling. It has spells that bypass all immunities in the thorn spells, basically 0 spell costs, and it

is extremely defensive thanks to its death eater ability that lets the caster gain temporary hit points when you get kills. Extreme Ease.

Do you have an alternative build?

Coming Soon. Someday I will post a blight wolf build, but blight wolf has a lot of problems to overcome.

Beginner Dark Apostate

What Type of Build is this?

This is a melee unholy knight who gets in close and personal with their enemies and smashes them down to appease the dark powers that grant the Dark Apostate strength. Strong healing and sustain, powerful buffs, supportive abilities, and melee damage. A good choice for anyone who wants to live the warpriest life.

Note: -This build is designed to work with longsword. If you would rather use warhammer, just make sure you take Onatar for your religion and improved critical bludgeoning instead of slashing.

Do I have to play as this race?

No, you can play whatever. Dragonborn gives more strength which is good, but anything else is just worse than dragonborn and tiefling.

How Easy/Hard is this build to play solo?

This character is easy to play the game solo with because being undead gives a lot of good bonuses to defence and you have really strong healing with this build. Melee attacks also don’t cost spell points so as long as you have health you can keep fighting.

Do you have an alternative build?

Coming Soon. I actually did play a dark apostate build that didn’t use the undead feature and was a really strong melee for endgame, but I never wrote it down and honestly you guys probably want a caster anyway. Someday.

Beginner Dark Hunter

DDO Beginner Basics ~ The Dark Hunter

What Type of Build is this?

This build is a tempest ranger who jumps into melee combat and deals massive area of effect damage with two swords. You become a walking blender, mowing down foes of all sizes with ease. You also get the ability to disable traps easily and you get a wolf companion (who sucks) to join you as you play!

Note: -This build is meant to be used with dual wielding scimitars.

Do I have to play as this race?

No, but the drow gets the stats to line up real well since you use dex and int and drow gets both. Just make sure you have at least 16 intelligence and a good amount of dex if you want to change it.

How Easy/Hard is this build to play solo?

This is a very easy solo build. It starts a bit slow since you don’t get dexterity to hit and damage with attacks until level 6, but level 6 grants you whirlwind attack and a huge damage bump. Additionally you get a very large increase to your trapping skills allowing you to always keep ontop of trapping. Finally, dark hunters get strong healing that is much better than a regular ranger.

Do you have an alternative build?

Coming Soon. There is a dark hunter build I played solo on hardcore as a caster, but it’s garbage. If you want to watch me struggle, here is a link.

Beginner Dragonlord

What Type of Build is this?

This is a melee two handed fighter who has massive powerful tactical skills, allowing you to disable every foe on the battlefield and deal massive damage to them while they cannot fight back. Strong solo or in a group, dragonlord is a stand out class and is used much more than regular fighters.

Note: -This build is designed to be played with a Falchion as its main weapon.

Do I have to play as this race?

No, half orc is fine too. Or anything really, dragonlord is really really strong. But dragonborn is cool so you should play it.

How Easy/Hard is this build to play solo?

This build is extremely strong, disabling an entire room of monsters with a single roar. As you level you get more attacks to deal damage and more ways to ignore your opponents defences. As long as you bring a cleric hireling with you and keep it safe, nothing can really stop you. As you get into epic levels your powers only get strong and stronger.

Do you have an alternative build?

I have a build called the critzilla, and it is an endgame monster and beast, and is used by many players at the endgame. If you want a really strong endgame destroyer, buy the shadarkai race, and try the critzilla!

Beginner Sacred Fist

What Type of Build is this?

This build is meant to be a melee fighter who is able to weave in ki spells for damage as well as having lots of healing magic to support and keep up the team. A hybrid between monk and paladin, you are able to fuel your fists with pure light and lead the charge.

Do I have to play as this race?

Drow is really really good since you want all the stats. Sacred fist needs DEX/CON/INT/WIS/CHA, and since you need too many stats I can’t recommend playing anything else unless you have a higher point build from reincarnating

or have tomes to mitigate needing so many stats. But if you have +8 tomes, dump con and wisdom and then play whatever race you want.

How Easy/Hard is this build to play solo?

This character is going to feel pretty rough until level 6, as you don’t get charisma to hit and damage them. Before level 6, you get some added fire damage on your fists, as well as being able to use a hireling to help supplement your damage (or group and play healer). Once you get to level 6 it feels really smooth and you start levelling a lot easier. Either way, you are really strong defensively with a lot of healing, so levelling will never be hard, but it might get slow.

Beginner Stormsinger

What Type of Build is this?

This is a spellcaster nuker who happens to sing songs and give out buffs. For level 1-22, you will basically play the same as a regular spellsinger bard, but once you hit level 23 you get access to an infinite spellpoint cheat code and become an arcane cannon that rivals a sorcerer, while also having sick buffs for your team and yourself.

Do I have to play as this race?

No, but tiefling and dragonborn are the best options. If you play something else you just have to deal with lower spell DCs.

How Easy/Hard is this build to play solo?

Extremely easy. Once you get the shout spell-like ability at level it becomes super easy street, although you start to slow down on damage around level 9-11. But at level 12 you get the horn of thunder spell-like ability and it picks back up again and never slows down. Really strong healing, crowd control, and damage, the hardest part is being careful with your spellpoints and not dying instantly to traps. Make sure to do quests on normal first so you learn the locations and then tumble through each trap!

Do you have an alternative build?

If you like the idea of shooting sonic bursting crossbowbolts, then try the sonic boomer inquisitive bard build! (Requires: Inquisitive Enhancement Tree, Feydark Illusionist Enhancement Tree, Artificer Class, Favoured Soul Class, and Machrotec Epic Destiny.

Beginner Wild Mage

What Type of Build is this?

This is basically the same as a regular sorcerer build, with three main exceptions:

#1. You are way less tanky. #2. You do a bunch more damage. #3. Your wild surges sometimes give you buffs, sometimes do nothing, and sometimes turn you to stone or kill you instantly. As long as you don’t mind the variance, you can have some good fun.

Do I have to play as this race?

You lose a massive amount of damage and spell DCs, so I highly highly recommend you play dragonborn.

How Easy/Hard is this build to play solo?

Depending on your proficiency with sorcerer, it can be difficult or easy. You need to manage your spellpoints, and the only way to heal is potions, scrolls, wands, and a cleric hireling. Because chaos damage is basically entirely unresisted in this game, you don’t have to deal with a lot of the immunities that most sorcerers have to deal with, as well as having better spell-like abilities than the regular sorcerer.

Do you have an alternative build?

Gear Lists

Gear Evaluation Guide

Knowing what the exact stats you need is difficult, so the lists below give you a quick overview of which effects are more impactful when you are looking to upgrade your items. The goal here is that if you find a new item, you can use this list to help determine if it is an upgrade or not. Learning item stats will take time, but being able to reference these lists will hopefully make this journey a little easier.

This is split into 3 lists; MELEE / RANGE / CASTER. There are obviously hybrid characters, like artificers and eldritch knights, but you can still use these lists to try to make a priority for yourself in a pinch.

This list will get updated or changed based on review, but it should always be a good general guide regardless. Additionally this is not a guide for making endgame item builds, as that is a lot more complicated and has even more stats than this.

Legend:

● Rank ○ A Mandatory Effect, worth using an item with only 1 good stat ○ B Important Effect, try to combine with other good stats when possible ○ C Good effects, but not good enough to be the only good effect on the item ○ * The star indicates that this only applies if you have an ability that uses this effect, depending on your exact class ● Scaling ○ If yes, it means that a higher level item will give you better stats ○ If no, it means that the stat will be the same regardless of level and you should get it as early as you can.

Melee

Stat Rank Scales with item level?

Why?

Main Stat (STR/DEX/INT/WIS/CHA) A YES Your Main stat will affect everything you do in combat, you want to max this.

Constitution A YES This increases your HP and keeps you alive longer All Saving Throws (Resistance) A YES Increasing all your saving throws is important for resisting magical effects

Physical/Magical Resistance Rating (Sheltering)

A YES This reduces all damage taken and is very important

Dodge A YES This gives you a chance to avoid damage entirely. Very good. Fortification A YES This protects you from critical hits and sneak attacks. Healing/Repair/Negative Amplification

A YES This increases the amount of healing you receive from all sources, like potions or magic. True Seeing A NO This lets you find secret doors, but more important, lets you see invisible creatures and bypass illusion magic meant to protect monsters. Melee Power A YES This increases melee damage by 1% per melee power. Doublestrike A YES This increases your chance to cause a doublestrike, doubling your damage. Capped at 100% Accuracy A YES This increases your chance to hit monsters. Deadly A YES This increases your damage on each attack. Seeker A YES This increases your critical damage and your critical success rate. Deception A YES This increases your damage when you sneak attack. Improved Deception A NO/YES This allows you to sneak attack monsters who are attacking you. Some versions of this effect do scale and grant bluff that stacks with normal bluff items. Speed A YES This increases attack and movement speed. Armor Piercing A YES This allows you to bypass enemy fortification and critically hit/sneak attack monsters that are normally immune, like undead and constructs. Deathblock/Lifesealed A YES Prevents Instant Kill effects from instantly killing you, which become more common after level 10. Freedom of Movement A YES Makes you immune to most crowd control effects and slows.

Concealment (Dusk/Blurry/Lesser Displacement)

B NO This gives monsters a chance to miss you when they attack you. Monsters with true seeing ignore this effect, and monsters on reaper mode gain the ability to ignore concealment based on the reaper level. Incorporeality (Ethereal/Ghostly) B NO This gives monsters a chance to miss you when they attack you. Incorporeal

monsters (like ghosts) ignore this effect. Monsters on reaper mode gain the ability to ignore incorporeality based on the reaper level. These also grant ghost touch for melee characters. False Life/Vitality B YES This increases your maximum health. False life stacks with vitality so you can have both. Relentless Fury B NO Increases your damage by 5% after getting a kill. Stacks with everything. Stunning B YES Increases the DC of abilities that stun or scale with stun. Shatter B YES Increases the DC of abilities that sunder or scale with sunder. Vertigo B YES Increases the DC of abilities that trip or scale with trip. Assassinate B YES Increases the DC of abilities that assassinate or scale with assassinate. Elemental Absorption B YES Reduces damage taken from a specific element by a %. This reduction happens after PRR/MRR and Elemental resistance is calculated. Threat Reduction (For Endgame) B YES This reduces the amount of threat you generate, making monsters want to attack you less. Not relevant for solo play, or casual play, mandatory for raiding and difficulty endgame content. Spell Saves B YES Increases your saves against spell effects, which stacks with regular save bonuses.

AC increases (deflection/natural armor) C YES Armor class reduces the chance that enemies will hit you with attacks. Generally less effective than dodge as you need to increase armor class as you level, but dodge is the same regardless of monster level. Red and purple named monsters (boss and raid boss) mostly ignore armor class. Feather Falling C NO Makes you fall slow. Mandatory for a few raid encounters, and also just generally fun and good for airborne movement. Use the block key (shift by default) to cancel feather falling. Elemental Resistance C YES Reduces elemental damage taken by the amount indicated. This applies before any other damage reduction, making it good against small hits (like damage over time effects) and bad against big hits, which is where absorption is better. Spell Resistance C YES This stat isn’t great as it only protects against crowd control and it is hard to scale, but it is useful in the early game and if you can get enough it makes you immune to crowd control spells at the endgame. The issue is getting enough. (65+ at level 34) Individual Saving Throws (Reflex/Fortitude/Will)

C YES This is just worse than getting a bonus to all 3 saving throws. Technically these are higher when granted individually, but lots of items give all 3 so these lose

value. Tendon Slice/Hamstring/Crippling C YES Not useful in 99% of cases but can be nice to have if enemies are running away from you. Skills (Any) C YES Most skills are not combat relevant. Bluff is good for sneak attackers, intimidate is good for keeping monsters on you, jump is good for mobility, spot is good for seeing sneaking monsters, and tumble is good for getting out of danger.

Ranged Power A YES This increases ranged damage by 1% per ranged power. Doubleshot A YES This increases your chance to cause a doubleshot, doubling your damage. If you get more than 100% double shot you always double shot and can now tripleshot. Capped at 400% for a quintuple shot. Accuracy A YES This increases your chance to hit monsters. Deadly A YES This increases your damage on each attack.

Seeker A YES This increases your critical damage and your critical success rate. Deception A YES This increases your damage when you sneak attack.

Spell Saves B YES Increases your saves against spell effects, which stacks with regular save bonuses. Caster Level Bonuses C YES Increases the caster level of your spells, granting both higher damage and spell penetration. Very niche and rare effect that also doesn’t change the maximum caster level of spells, making its use limited.
