* '''Melee''' attacks affect a single target with a range of 5m. Typically these are physical damage types.
* '''Projectile''' attacks are ranged attacks of any damage type. This is not just arrows and thrown knives, but spells like [[Fireball]] and [[Necromancy]]'s [[Death's Hold]].
* '''Burst''' attacks are typically magical area of effect (AoE) attacks that can strike 2+ targets at the same time. Spells like [[Ice Nova]] or [[Battle Chemistry]] bomb attacks are burst attacks. There are a number of gear mods that can take what is a melee or projectile attack and turn it into a burst attack.* '''Indirect''' attacks are ones that either do damage over time (DoTs) or are the result of reflected damage. For example, [[Fire Breath]] does direct damage to a target, but also applies a DoT, doing damage every two seconds for 12 seconds. That DoT is indirect damage.
Another source of indirect damage are abilities that damage a melee attacker, such as [[Druid]]'s [[Brambleskin]] or [[Fire Magic]]'s [[Molten Veins]]. These do damage to a melee attacker when the they strike you. Some, like [[Molten Veins]], even have a DoT component as well, but all the damage applied is indirect. Note that these will not react to a burst or projectile attack unless otherwise stated.
