Vanguard
Paladin

How it works
Triggers: Always active
A hard trade rather than a penalty: the archetype gives up critical strikes entirely in exchange for the outsized scaling elsewhere in its kit.
On/offThis passive is either on or off. Its value is a switch, not a number, and a second source adds nothing.
- Only applies while the class is your PRIMARY — taking it as a secondary does not restrict you.
- Precision and Ferocity cannot be allocated at all, and any points already spent are refunded.
- Healing Touch0.02 · 8 radius
+2% heal on hit
- Heal
- +2% of source stat
- Self effectiveness
- +25%
How it works
Triggers: Chance on hit, once per internal cooldown
A chance-based burst heal that splits between you and the lowest-health allies nearby, so it self-directs toward whoever needs it most.
- Your own share is reduced relative to what allies receive.
- Knockback Resistance+80%
+80% knockback resist
- Effect
- +80% reduction to incoming knockback
How it works
Triggers: On being hit
Scales down the knockback impulse applied by an incoming hit.
DiminishingTwo sources combine as 1−(1−a)(1−b), so each extra source is worth less than the last — it can approach 100% but never reach it.
- At 100% you are immune to knockback entirely.

How it works
Triggers: Always active
The workhorse stat passive — it is how races and classes actually differ numerically, and it appears more than three hundred times across the trees. Each entry names one attribute and grants it automatically as you level, with no skill points spent.
Adds upTwo sources of this passive add together.
- Two delivery modes: most entries scale as a percentage of your race's base attribute, while entries flagged flat add a fixed amount after percentages are applied.
