Strength
From Guild Wars Wiki
(Redirected from List of Strength skills)
Strength is the primary attribute of the Warrior profession.
“When you use attack skills, each point of Strength gives you 1% armor penetration. Many skills, especially those related to surviving and inflicting damage, become more effective with higher Strength.
— In-game description
[edit] Inherent effect
Strength adds 1% of Armor penetration for each rank to attack skills that don't already have it.
[edit] Notes
- A simple rule of thumb to understanding Strength's effect on damage is that each point roughly equates to 1% bonus weapon damage when using an attack skill (+damage from attack skills ignore armor). Slightly more at higher levels against 60-80AL targets, slightly less at lower levels against +100AL targets. Peak damage is reached against 60AL, with effectiveness dropping off against lower armor in the same manner as higher armor.
- The inherent effect does not apply to skills which already have armor penetration such as Penetrating Chop.
- In addition to granting 1% armor penetration per rank when using attack skills (not all attacks), Strength also increases the effectiveness of Strength-related skills.
- Most Strength skills are melee attacks or offensive stances. Strength also contains a number of skills related to adrenaline gain, attack speed, self-healing, defense, movement speed and bypassing or punishing blocking.
- Strength is one of the attributes that are used as requirement for Shields.
- Strength has the most Skills linked to it out of all the Primary Attributes.
