Tactics

From Guild Wars Wiki

Jump to: navigation, search

Tactics' is a warrior secondary attribute.

No inherent effect. Many skills, especially defensive skills and skills that aid your allies, become more effective with higher Tactics.

— In-game description

[edit] Notes

  • Many Shields have a Tactics requirement; no weapons do.
  • The Tactics line has mostly defensive oriented skills in it. Healing Signet is usually the first Tactics skill acquired and most iconic skill of the line.
