Combat
Combat is a way of life. Master the basics of fighting before you jump headlong into the game, or risk a premature trip to the afterlife. Read on and get educated.
Come Equipped
Before you enter a mission or explorable area (in other words, before you leave town), load your Skill Bar with the eight skills you think will serve you best in the coming conflict. At the start of the game you'll have empty space, but as you learn and earn more skills you'll need to be selective in how you equip your character's skills. Your hero's armour (courtesy of your primary profession) is already equipped—make sure your chosen weapon is at the ready and that any alternate weapons are loaded onto the quick weapon menu (keys F1-F4).
| Equip Weapons | Equip weapons and armour from your Items menu, which manages the items you have acquired. |
