AMP stands for Advanced Modification Protocol and is a class customization feature of WildStar. AMPs supply passive upgrades and "procs" that players are able to spend points on, to customize their character for areas such as Assault, Utility, or Support, and their combinations.
Description[]
Using a constellation-style grid, players are able to spend points to unlock passive upgrades. Players receive 1 AMP point per level to be spent by clicking the upgrade they wish to buy. Most upgrades beyond Tier 1 require more than 1 AMP point to acquire, which makes it necessary to save and plan on what you really need.
AMP Types[]
The AMP page is portrayed and divided into six different trees:
- Assault, which aids in damage-dealing
- Support, which aids in healing or tanking, depending on class
- Utility, which aids in movement and resistance against Crowd Control (CC)
- Assault/Support, which aids in both the DPS and Support role by providing useful stats for either
- Support/Utility, which aids the player's damage and fighting skill against other players, and
- Utility/Assault, which aids the player's defenses against other players
Unlocking AMPs[]
Many AMPs need to be unlocked before points can be assigned to them. AMPS are inventory items which can be acquired in one of three ways.
- Trading with another player (through mail, trade, or the auction house)
- Looting from an enemy NPC (v. low rate random chance drop)
- Purchasing from a friendly NPC
Right clicking on an AMP in the inventory will 'use' the item and unlock the relevant AMP in the AMP tree.
Ability AMPs[]
In addition to passive abilities, AMPs are able to unlock three usable abilities for each class. There is one for assault, support and utility.
- Warrior - Tremor , Bolstering Strike , Power Link
- Esper - Spectral Swarm - Mirage - Fixation
- Spellslinger - Assassinate - Healing Torrent - Void Pact
- Stalker - Clone - Amplification Spike - Bloodthirst
- Medic - Annihilation - Rejuvenator - Protection Probes
- Engineer - Target Acquisition - Disruptive Module - Repair Bot
