## Introduction

This page contains a ranking of relative skill strength. All forms of damage in AQ are measured relative to a normal attack with a melee weapon in a neutral armor. In the tables below the relative strength of skills is shown in the **Multiplier** column which indicates how much the skill is worth relative to the baseline standard described above.

* **Example**: A \*2 multiplier would mean that a skill/spell deals damage equal to 2 normal attacks with a melee weapon in a neutral armor.

The Nerd Tab is intended for anyone who would like to verify my calculations, or see how the number has been reached.

For a better understanding of the different skill types, see the Skill Types page.

## General Information

* The ranking assumes the appropriate stat regime for a pure build.
	+ **Pure Warrior**: STR: 250, DEX: 250, LUK: 250
	+ **Pure Ranger**: STR: 250, DEX: 250, LUK: 250
	+ **Pure Mage**: STR: 250, DEX: 250, LUK: 250

* The ranking assumes the use of the Combat Type appropriate booster pet & guest for a pure build. NOTE: The ranking **DOES NOT** account for element-specific booster pets and/or guests.
	+ **Pure Warrior**: Dunamis Pet & Guest
	+ **Pure Ranger**: Thernda Pet & Guest
	+ **Pure Mage**: Poelala Pet & Guest

* The ranking ignores how skills interact with stat changes/miscs/etc and should be taken with a grain of salt, nonetheless it serves as a good reference point.

* In the tables below skill Names for all armors are listed in the **Skill/Spell Info** column, this includes Weapon-Click skills (e.g. Morningstar Cross).
	+ NOTE: Skill names are not listed if they have been assumed in accordance with the below assumptions.

## General Assumptions

* For **Weapon Based Skills** Bloodblades / Zerker Blades are assumed.
* For **Normal Attack Skills** nothing is assumed.
* For **Normal Attack Modifier Skills** consider the following:
	+ It is assumed that the armor's Modifier Skill is active.
		- **Examples**: **Vampire Subrace** has **"Evolve"** activated / **Blazing Bloodzerker** has **"Burning Rage"** activated.
	+ Unless stated otherwise, Bloodblades / Zerker Blades are assumed
		- Additionally for **Bloodzerker Armors** the matching elemental **Bloodzerker's Blade** is assumed when **Zerker Blade** is listed, i.e. Terra Bloodzerker is paired with Terra Bloodzerker's Blade.
* For armors with **EleLocked Forms** it is assumed that this form is active.
	+ **Examples**: **Graverider Mount** is assumed to be in **Dismounted Form** / **Frostgale's Legacy** is assumed to have **Frostgale's Ferocity/Alacrity/Wisdom** activated.
* For **Spells / Spell-Based Skills**, the strongest corresponding Spellbooster Weapon is assumed
	+ **Fire**: Arcane Cutlass of Combustion
	+ **Water**: Tsunami Pen
	+ **Wind**: Arcane Cutlass of Gales
	+ **Ice**: Arctic Athame
	+ **Earth**: Terra Bloodzerker's Sword
	+ **Energy**: Dynamancer's Bloodblade / Voltaic Bloodzerker's Sword
	+ **Light**: Arcane Cutlass of Radiance
	+ **Other Elements**: Adventurer Figure

## Specific Assumptions

* **Elemental Wizard Robes** refers to the elemental versions of Wizard Robes (e.g. Pyromancer's Robes). These entries assume that an **Elemental Robe** is used with the corresponding **Burst Spell** and **Cutlass / Athame** under favorable conditions. Since only some elements have a cutlass / athame, take this with a grain of salt.
	+ **Example**: Using **Pyromancer's Robes** with **Destruction Burst** and **Arcane Cutlass of Combustion** vs. a monster with **Fire** as its highest elemental resistance.
* **Angelic Robes** assumes the use of Creation Burst and Arcane Cutlass of Radiance vs. a monster with Light as its highest elemental resistance.
* **Brilhado Necromancer Robes** assumes the use of Destruction Burst and Sila's Staff vs. a monster with Darkness as highest its elemental Resistance.
* **Fully-Offensive Armor** assumes the use of Bloodblades / Zerker Blades.
* **Frozen Dragonslayer** assumes an enemy with 200% Void Resistance.
* **Paladin Class Armor: Sunscale's Legacy** assumes an enemy with 200% Void Resistance.
* **Kindred** assumes 200 Focus charges stacked.
* **Silk-Screamer Rider** assumes 500 Mogloween Candy stacked.
