Skill Scale

I'm trying to find a source that I can simply look at that will tell me how each skill changes according to how many points I have in attributes. I've recently gotten to level 20 and its taking more and more time to replenish Refund points to experiment with differnt sets. It would be much easier to know how a given spell/skill is going to change when I adjust attributes then to actually do it and determine I've just wasted refund points.

My class is Mes/Nec (havn't ascended)

Thanks for any help!

there are 3rd party tools where you can test this, but use them at your own risk. look in the tools forum.

You can also look at the skills in the skill database here at Guru; the listed range is from 0-12 for attribute scores. Obviously, this doesn't tell you exactly what you want to know, but it can give you a very good idea.

Note that the top end is for attributes at level 12; attributes can be higher than this, and skills will make the effects stronger than the maximum listed.

I wish there was a web based program that showed what each point did for a skill.

But when I don't know what one point would do to a skill, I got into PVP characters, and start playing around with the points and looking at the skill, no worries about wasting points.

there's a downloadable tool called gwfreaks i think? i'll have to look when i go home. but you can customize your character to however you want regarding skills and you can see what additional points do. dont remember if i saw it here or at another forum.

Ah, excellent suggestion! I havn't even messed with the PvP aspect yet so hadn't considered this.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions and help!

With all the freak about keyloggers, any threat of this program from gwfreaks? Anyone use it and have problems?
