Attributes are the main building blocks of every character Class in WildStar, for both friends and foes alike. Attributes affect everything from damage output to health. The Primary attributes are Assault Power, Support Power, Armor, Health, Shield Max, PVP Power and PVP Defense. The amount of any attribute affect how well or poorly an aspect of a character will function.
Primary Attributes
Primary stats were updated with the Free to Play model. See the end of the page for attributes that were removed completely. Primary attributes no longer break down into secondary stats. Runes no longer increase Assault Power or Support Power.
- Assault/Support Power
- Obtained by Assault or Support Rating and then converted into the respective Power. These will be your main stats in the game with other core stats coming in a close second.
- Armor
- Armor determines the player’s base ability to reduce incoming damage of all damage types. Some secondary stats will make a character more focused into different combat mechanics but this is the blanket reduction stat.
- Health
- The amount of damage you can take before you die. After an attack is mitigated based on defense stats, this is the end stat that determines how soon you die.
- Shield Max
- The shield is used up before the player’s health and the larger the shield max, the more damage that can be taken before affecting player health.
