Defining your Character in the Combat profession
- There are 10 jobs in total under the Combat Proffesion from which you are able to choose 3 jobs which will define your character, resulting in a total of 120 different class combinations.
- Each job has 3 trees, every tree has 11 active and 5 passive skills, so each class has 33+15 aka 48 skills ready, from which you can chose 23 skills which will define your character.
- Every skill tree has its own level, they are levelling same as the character does (level 50 is the max), and also all the skills have level requirements (depending on the skill trees level and not on the characters level).
Here is the list of the 120 class combinations under the Combat Profession :

Passive Skills
In order to choose the first passive skill from a tree, the player needs to have 1 active skill chosen from that tree, to unlock the second passive skill you need to have 2 skills selected from the given tree, for the third passive 3 skills, for the fourth passive 5 skills, and if there is a fifth passive then you need to have 7 skills selected from the tree in order to be able to take that passive skill (this doesn't mean all 7 skills need to be active skills, passives count into this too).
Combo Skills
Skills have different results depending on what buffs are on the player or debuffs on the target. Some of them have been changed, and many new combos have been added, now almost every skill had 2-3 combos, and a few even have 4 combos.

Other Combat Proffesion Info
- Players may choose 1 job at Char level 1, a second at level 5 and the third job at level 10.
- Each job has its own skills and level along with the player as they hunt, craft and quest.
- Each skill has advanced versions and costs coin to improve as the job level increases.
- Skills can be reset at a trainer, and will then cost coin to be improved to the job level.
- Skill Jobs can be reset as well, starting L20 iirc, and will then default to L10 and the school will need to be revelled. For example a L50 player dump all 3 of their jobs for 3 new ones, although they are L50, their 3 new jobs are L10 and would need to be advanced through normal levelling, until which time the player would only have access to lower level skills.

OP please learn how to search for up to date information and stop spreading misinformation!
What you posted is from CBT3!
In AA there are 10 trees, 11 active and 5 passive skills in each tree, every mount and battle pet has 5 skills, every vehicle has its own skills (boats, gliders, car, tractor, siege vehicles, special weapons... etc), also there is synergy between the skills, some skills have an effect on each other, also status effects have an effect on skills.
You can find the almost up do date skills here (CBT5):

There is just too much misinformation going on about AA on this site.
This isn't a signature, you just think it is.
This. I was up late last night, and it just dawned on me that over all this time, I hadn't heard a thing about skills/classes. I didn't even know if the game had classes.
Thanks for the information. There looks to be around 110 skills active combat skills. The system seems a little like RIFT's soul system. I had good times with the RIFT system.
You guys have eased my fears for the most part. There's still one thing that's a little concerning, "some jobs work better with others." I hope it's not hard wired kinda like RIFT is, with overlapping skills.
Thank you again. I'll change the title and hope we get more info.
One other thing to note about AA class system is that you can cherry pick your skills. There are no prerequisites from any skill or passive so if you'd like you could only take the top skills alone or whatever combo you choose.
In addition, you can level them all and respec back to another class and since every class tree needs to be independently leveled to 50, you can always switch back and still retain any levels you gained previously.
What worries me, is genuinely interested people such as BcBully, (who knows to what magnitude in population), are all falling into the same situation. Yet Trion, for whom i have had much respect for over these years has not even posted the most basic of informative sites on their own game up to draw in such parties. Is this responsibility of selling this fantastic game really left up to the customers in the mmo genre?
It is such a shame, i loved this game in Korean beta, so much miss information out here, i do not even bother responding or correcting it anymore, Trion should pay you guys a stipend for your help when you do, some of you guys are really on top of it, over... and over... again.
