Rune-Keeper Skill and Trait List

By Darkgolem

The Rune-Keeper is an effective and versatile class who can directly damage opponents, buff and debuff, or heal allies, but only one of these three sets of skills at a time.  Their abilities with runes allow them to use cold, fire or electrical damage in combination or in specialty.

The traits, skills and deeds of a rune-keeper are fairly complex, and it is a good idea to learn know what can do what before you begin play.  Having a good idea of what you skills can do allow you to cycle back and forth between battle, steady and damaging attunement quickly and efficiently.
