Strength

From Guild Wars Wiki

Jump to: navigation, search

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 inherrent 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.
