How Do You Check Your Stats? - Guild Wars Forums

I looked at all the menu options and for the life of me, I can seem to find where you can see your characters stats (i.e. Armor, bonuses, DPS, base damage)

Is there such a way?

- For armor, open up their inventory and mouse over each armor piece. Each armor piece cover's a "region", and the armor value on the armor is what will effect any attack/spell/effect that hits that "region".

There is no total armor value (as in say World of Warcraft) where all armor value's from all pieces of armor are added up.

- For dps, unfortunately there is no 100% accurate way of knowing exactly what dps your pulling at any time. What you can do is head to The Battle Isles and locate the Master of Damage and attack him. He will tell you what dps your doing against him with the build (and heroes if you brought them) at that time.

This is the only way to detirmine what kind of dps you can do with a build, with hero's, etc.

- As for "Base Damage", each skill/spell/etc you have will display the damage it will do (if it's an attack/skill/spell/etc that does damage) assuming no other conditions effect this damage - conditions such as armor, effects that reduce/amplify conditions/damage/etc, etc.

Each weapon type also has base damage ranges as well.

Hope this helps.

Also note that, unlike WoW, your armor doesn't get damaged and doesn't need to be repaired.

Player stats don't work like in other MMOs

As mentioned above each armor piece has it's individual AL value for the part of the body it protects.
Your damage output is dependent on the weapon and on the skills you use.
Weapons list their damage range. Skills list their output, and are dependent on your attributes. Your actual damage inflicted also take into account the armor of your foe.

Bonuses depend upon insignia and runes on your armor, and the upgrades and stats on your weapons. They can affect damage against certain types of foes, defence against certain types of damage, additional energy, health or increased spell or skill cast speed

Your equipment will show if you press "I"
