Aspect Overhaul
Air Aspect
5% + (1.5% x Tier) Weapon Speed and Mana Regen Rate Bonus
5% + (1.5% x Tier) Damage Resistance After Swing or Cast (5 sec)
20% + (5% x Tier) Chance to Avoid Movement Effects (such as Hinder, Entangle, Mummification, etc)
Players gain Damage Resistance under Air Aspect for the next 5 seconds after Swinging (regardless of hitting or missing) or after completing a Spellcast
Blood Aspect
12% + (3.75% x Tier) Damage Bonus to Creatures Below 33% Hit Points
5% + (1.5% x Tier) Chance to Deal 100% Damage Bleed on Melee or Spellcast
8 + (1 x Tier) Bonus to All Stats
If Blood Aspect Armor triggers a Bleed effect, the Bleed effect will have a base damage equal to 100% of the triggering Melee attack or Spellcast's damage
If the Bleed effect occurs during a Stealth Backstab, it will deal damage equal to 50% of the attack (instead of 100%)
Blood Aspect Weapon/Spell Special
Command Aspect
5% + (1.5% x Tier) Follower Damage Bonus
5% + (1.5% x Tier) Follower Damage Resistance
25% + (7.5% x Tier) Follower Exp Gain and Taming Success Chance
Players gain a scalar bonus to Taming Success chances under Command Aspect
For instance, at Tier 10 they would gain +100% success chances to taming, meaning they would increase a base 25% taming success chance up to 50%
Earth Aspect
5% + (1.5% x Tier) Chance on Melee Attack to Deal +150% Damage
5% + (1.5% x Tier) Physical Damage Resistance
20% + (5% x Tier) Reduction to Debuff Effects (such as Pierce, Weaken, Cripple, etc)
If Earth Aspect Armor's Melee Damage Bonus is triggered during a Stealth Backstab, it's damage bonus will become +75% (instead of +150%)
Eldritch Aspect
2.5% + (0.75% x Tier) Damage Increase to Target Per 20 Mana Spent (30 sec)
6 + (2 x Tier) Effective Skill Bonuses to Spirit Speak and Inscription
20% + (5% x Tier) Chance to Avoid Spell Interruption
Each time a player with Eldritch Aspect casts a damaging spell against a target, it immediately increases the damage of that spell and future spells by that player against the target for the next 30 seconds (bonuses stack)
For instance, a Tier 10 Eldritch player casting Energy Bolt would gain (10% x (20 / 20)) = 10% damage on the spell and further spells against the same target for 30 seconds
That same player casting Energy Bolt again 5 seconds later at the same target would add another 10% bonus to the target and be at a cumulative +20% damage bonus against them on that spellcast
While the damage bonuses are cumulative, each bonus has its own duration and doesn't refresh the duration of bonuses when added (i.e individual bonuses will drop off after 30 seconds have passed since being added)
The damage bonus amounts are scaled based on the mana cost of the spell, so a Tier 10 Eldritch Player casting Flamestrike would gain (10% + (40 / 20)) = 20% damage bonus on that spell and further spells for 30 seconds
Fire Aspect
.15% + (.045% x Tier) Chance Per Damage Dealt to Inflict 50 Damage Flamestrike
10% + (3% x Tier) Damage Taken also Reflected Back onto Attacker
20% + (5% x Tier) Field Damage Resistance
Poison Aspect
5% + (1.5% x Tier) Damage Bonus to Poisoned Targets
5% + (1.5% x Tier) Chance on Poison Tick to Upgrade or Spread (6 tiles)
2 + (2 x Tier) Effective Skill Bonuses to Poisoning and Taste ID
Damage Bonus to Poisoned Targets only applies to targets with Greater Poison or higher, but can be against poisoned creatures that were poisoned by other players or creatures
Each time a Poison Ticks for a player with Poison Aspect, it has a chance to either:
1) Upgrade to a higher tier poison if player has sufficient Poisoning skill to do so
2) If player cannot upgrade to a higher tier poison (due to insufficient Poisoning skill), it will spread that current poison level to a non-poisoned creature within 6 tiles
Poison may only be upgraded or spread once (if spread, the new poison victim themselves cannot further spread poison)
In order to Upgrade poison via the Poison Aspect Armor effect, players must have the following Poisoning skill:
Upgrade to Greater Poison: 80 Poisoning Skill
Upgrade to Deadly Poison: 100 Poisoning Skill
Upgrade to Lethal Poison: 120 Poisoning Skill
Effective Poisoning skill is factoring into all uses of Poisoning EXCEPT the skill check used when applying a Poison Potion to a weapon
Poison Aspect Weapon/Spell Special
Shadow Aspect
12% + (3.75% x Tier) Backstab Accuracy and Damage Bonus
12% + (3.75% x Tier) Post Backstab Damage Resistance (10 seconds)
(0.5 x Tier) Bonus Stealth Steps [rounded Down]
At every even-numbered Tier (2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12) players with Shadow Aspect gain a bonus Stealth Step when activating stealth, however these bonus steps when used always generate Footprints
Void Aspect
16 + (2 x Tier) Auto Stats Restoration (20s, 10s, 60s)
15% + (4.5% x Tier) Chance to Ignore Armor/Resist (or 15% Dmg Bonus)
6 + (2 x Tier) Effective Skill Bonuses to Parry and Magic Resist
The first time every 20 seconds that a player is missing at least (16% + (2% x Tier)) of their maximum Hit Points, that amount is restored
The first time every 10 seconds that a player is missing at least (16% + (2% x Tier)) of their maximum Stamina, that amount is restored
The first time every 60 seconds that a player is missing at least (16% + (2% x Tier)) of their maximum Mana, that amount is restored
Whenever a player successfully triggers the Ignore Armor or Resist mechanic, but the target is already at 0 Effective Armor or 0 Effective Magic Resist respectively, it will instead increase damage of the Attack or Spellcast by 15% (this is the same mechanic listed at the top of the post under "Armor and Magic Resist Ignoring")
Void Aspect Weapon/Spell Special
Water Aspect
5% + (1.5% x Tier) Weapon Special and Charged Spell Chance Bonus
10% + (3% x Tier) Bonus to Healing Dealt and Received

Aspect Tier 13
