 This tier list is purely opinion by the NA server player Trilobite after discussion over
Discord with multiple end game PvP and PvE communities and personal testing. If you have an
urgent need to correct or inform me over opinions stated here, please feel free to DM me at
Trilobite#3410. I am very much open to changing this tier list as more testing is done and
discoveries are made. I heavily devalue defensive gear skills compared to their offensive
counterpart because the current hardest content is tankable using optimized Manticore and DL
gear (dated 8/28/20).

After further testing and discussion: I have shifted the positions of certain gear skills in
the tier list (dated 9/2/20).

I have shifted the positions and changed the description of certain gear skills because of
new results shown by high ranking World Boss, Guild Conquest, and League of Honor players
(dated 10/1/20).

Fixed some errors in values, shifted the positions of the tier list, and improved clarity on
descriptions (dated 11/2/20).

Happy New Years folks, after further discussion, much of the tier list has shifted due to
discoveries in new playstyles and PvP mechanics, most notably damage reduction in the League
of Honor being separate from the Tough stat (dated 1/23/20).
