GENERAL AA'S
- Info is generally valid up to the current expansion.
- Some AA's can actually change name Level to Level.
- The AA names listed on this site are for the highest Level known of the AA.
- Lower Level AA names are noted, however.
- Each AA Level grants an increased benefit and / or additional benefits over the previous Level of the same AA.
- Benefit(s) shown are purposely generic, rather than specific.
- This is because the benefits, AA Level to AA Level, are categorically the same, but get slightly better with each AA Level.
- Specifics can be seen in game, via the AA Window.
- AA's often have a minimum Level Requirement, which can increase with each incremental Level of said AA.
- Some AA's also have a 'previous ability' requirement, such as other AA's need to have all ready been purchased.
- Unless otherwise noted, the below AA's are 'passive' AA's (buy them and they take effect automatically).
- Activated AA's are:
- ...essentially an AA Based Spell;
- ...have a variable duration (due game mechanics factors) that is noted in the AA Window.
- ...have a Re-Use (Refresh) Timer, with the Ability Timer Category (a number) noted in the AA Window.
- ...AA's with the same Ability Timer can not be used at the same time (due the timer).
- ...some AA's need mana and / or endurance to cast, which does not always seem to be cited in the AA Window.
- AA's that are not common to all classes are highlighted in grey.
- Let me know of any errors or something I missed!
