Unlinked skill

An Unlinked Skill is a Skill that is not linked to an Attribute and thus has a constant effect. Examples: Signet of Capture, Resurrection Signet, Plague Touch, Glyph of Lesser Energy.

As there are no attributes involved, unlinked skills offers a way to have a build focused on primary profession attributes only, yet tap into the full potential of selected skills from the secondary profession.

There are many skills that are linked to an attribute but are not effected by the attribute level, these are often considered to be “unlinked”. Though these skills seem to behave like an unlinked skill (with no benefit from increased ranks in their attribute), they can still be affected by skills or items that effect their attribute line like Power Block or items with +% to reduce attribute’s casting/recharge time (HCT,HSR).
