The current system of Gift spells is boring, simple stat buffs leave nothing to the imagination. We've been brainstorming ideas for ways to introduce and alter Gifts that would make them much more interesting. Listed below are some ideas we've had for ways to change some of the existing Gifts as well as some ideas for new Gifts:


  • Gift of Resistance (was Armor) = Reduces incoming physical damage by a %
  • (NEW) Gift of Resilience = Reduces incoming elemental damage by a %
  • Gift of Vitality (was Health) = Slow pulsing HoT
  • Gift of Alacrity - Do not change
  • Gift of the Mother (was Dexterity) - Increases Arcane Skills by X%
  • Gift of the Wood (was Focus) - Increases Mystical Skills by X%
  • Gift of the Shroud (was Power) - Increases Spell Damage by X%
  • Gift of the Widower (was Strength) - Increases Physical Damage by X%
  • Speed - Do not change
  • Velocity - Do not change
  • Gift of Malice (was Toughness) - On non-standard hit, has a % chance to cause the next attack to do X% bonus damage.
  • Ancestral Determination (was Determination) - Increases Physical Damage by X%, bonus to T&C skill, conflicts with “Gift of the Widower”
  • Drulkar’s Roar (was Primal Roar) - Increases Spell Damage by X%, bonus to Primal skill, conflicts with “Gift of the Shroud”
  • (NEW) Gift of the Serpent - %Chance to resist poison on physical attack
  • (NEW) Gift of the Fates - %Chance to automatically resurrect upon death (Use causes the Gift to immediately fade and cannot be re-applied for N seconds)
  • (NEW) Gift of Benevolence - %Chance to heal those within X meters when hit by non-standard attack
  • (NEW) Gift of Knowledge - Bonus to Mystical Tradeskills
  • (NEW) Gift of Artistry - Bonus to Mundane Tradeskills


Costs, available, etc. have not been determined as this is still in the brainstorming phase. We do recognize that this would impact crafters by removing stat buffs that they rely upon for optimal work. To counter that we'd consider increasing the skill boosts that player-built machines offer.
