just know this. You'll reach the max level, 80, by simply mastering 1.5 elite professions. This INCLUDES healing professions! It does not include any entertainment or crafting professions, though.
2. Area of Effect? What is that? What does it man?
AOE, or Area of Effect, is a handy way to deal a lot of damage. Some weapons and abilities have the opprotunity to do one of two types of AOE damage. It can either be a "cone" or a "donut."
Cone AOE means the AOE damage extends from the player in a straight direction, but encompassing a small angle, creating a cone. All enemies in this cone are damaged!
Donut AOE, or circle/radius AOE, is when all damage is dealt in every direction in a circular fashion. This can be from one of two spots: The damage could extend from the target or from the actual player. For example, an explosion would create a damage in a circle around the targetted enemy, and a spinning-blade move would create damage around the player.
Some strategy oriented players have learned to use AOE in a different way. Why just deal damage? Many players now use the target radius AOE to stun/root many enemies all at once. Its the ultimate crowd control!
3. What is each profession's job in a group?
According to the Combat Upgrade manual, there are four major fields that each profession will fit under. They are: damage dealing, tanking, healing, and crowd control. Use the list below to determine what your profession's INTENDED job is to be (but many can and are using their profession in unique ways, depending on the template.)
___________________________________________________________________________ / Profession | Type | Description \ |___________________|_______________|_______________________________________| | | | | | Pistoleer | Crowd Control | inflicts attack speed status effects | | Smuggler | Crowd Control | inflicts accuracy status effects | | Carbineer | Crowd Control | inflicts movement status effects | | Bounty Hunter | Tanking | uses heavy armor to mitigate damage | | Pikeman | Tanking | reduces damage capabilities of enemy | | Teras Kasi Aritst | Tanking | extreme body finesse sheds off damage | | Commando | Damage Dealer | Proficient at AOE damage | | Swordsman | Damage Dealer | Fast and Furious damage | | Rifleman | Damage Dealer | Sniped shots do damage from far away | | Fencer | Damage Dealer | Master of manipulating Damage of Time | | Combat Medic | Healing | Heals entire party from distances | | Doctor | Healing | Heals wounds and status effects | \___________________|_______________|_______________________________________/
