Strike

Melee Attacks directly hit with a Strike or deal Melee damage through a Slam. They usually scale from a Martial Weapon or Unarmed base, but Melee is not a damage type and does not include Projectiles created by the Attack.

An Attack is a skill with the Attack tag. It normally takes its base damage, attack speed, and base Critical Hit Chance from an equipped Martial Weapon, unless the skill states a different rule.

A Slam is a Melee Attack that deals damage through an area instead of directly Striking an enemy. Slams always have the AoE tag, remain Melee damage, and do not count as Strikes.

Accuracy Rating determines whether an Attack Hits by being compared with the target's Evasion. Player Attacks also lose Accuracy with distance, while Spells do not use Accuracy.

Area of Effect, usually shortened to AoE, describes a skill component that applies to targets inside an area instead of selecting only one target. The area can be a circle, cone, line, ring, or another shape defined by the skill.

A Projectile is a moving entity created by an Attack or Spell. Projectile describes delivery, not the source type or damage type, so the Projectile can still be an Attack or Spell and can deal any supported damage type.

A Trigger causes a skill to occur immediately when its stated condition is met. A Triggered skill has no attack or cast time for that activation, usually targets the cause of the Trigger, and does not count as a skill you used.

Damage is classified on three independent axes: source, delivery, and type. A component can come from an Attack, Spell, Thorns, or another source; deal a Hit or damage over time; and deal Physical, Fire, Cold, Lightning, or Chaos damage.
