Melee weapons and abilities have a maximum range of effect.[2][3]
List of melee weapons
Melee abilities
Directional attacks
There will be directional attacks (back attacks, flanking attacks, frontal attacks) that deal additional damage depending on the positional context of the attack.[5]
Cleaving
All weapons have a forward attack cone, regardless of being in tab or action mode.[6]
- The cone's arc and distance will vary based on weapon type.[6]
Polearms for example will have a much wider arc and much further out. Daggers will have a more fine-tuned arc, so you have to be more precise in that regard.[6] – Steven Sharif
This is described as a weapon attack not an active skill.[6]
Gear slots
There are multiple gear slots in Ashes of Creation.[9]
- 3 Belt slots.[9]
- 1 Mainhand slot equips a player's primary weapon.[10][13][14][15][16][4]
- 1 Offhand slot can equip shields, spell focuses, sigils, and dual weapons.[10][17][4]
- 1 Potion/Pouch/Scroll slot.[12][18]
- 8 Armor slots.[9][19]
- 5 Jewelry slots.[9]
- 3 Artisan gear slots.[27][9][28]
- 1 Artisan tool slot is used to equip gathering tools.[29]
- There may be a specific slot for musical instruments, but this has not been finalized yet.[30]
- Previously it was stated there were 16 gear slots.[19]
- Gear is not subject to inventory weight limits.[31]
Items on back and belt
Players can set the appearance priority for the items they wish to show in their Back and Belt slots.[12][18][32]
- Only one item can show at a time, and that is determined by player choice.[4]
- Some ranged or melee abilities require a specific weapon to be equipped. Weapons that are equipped in the character's ranged or offhand slots will automatically swap in and out as required by the skill.[10][13][14][16]
- Players may toggle back and forth between using their ranged and melee slot for basic weapon attacks.[10]
- Idle animations will be selectible by players in the character creator.[34]
