Consider the active perks the most impactful performance perks and what distinguishes your build from another player. The three-constellation system limits you to four slottables per constellation which is shown on the top of your bar. Now you have a sense for what the system is, let’s break it down further into specifics.
The system also has unconnected slottables which can be taken independently and do not require any path. CP structure has path-based advancements that looks like a spider web requiring you to take points in the path in order to move in a direction towards other perks. CP has both a catchup mechanic and diminishing returns, so if you’re a new player debating if it’s worth playing the game, I reached 1,000 CP on PC EU very easily with little effort in comparison to other MMOs I’ve played. That’s due to the limited number of passive perks so beyond the four slottables per character, you won’t see any advantage over other players because there is a limit to the passive advantage you gain and this is what keeps the playing field level. The system is uncapped at 3,600 points but has a soft cap on performance at or around 1,500 CP beyond this you won’t an increase in performance. Each constellation allows for only four slottables, so you’ll need to make decisions carefully. The red Fitness tree provides perks focusing on defensives, PvP, resources and unique perks like movement. The blue Warfare tree is the most important for role dependent builds like Tank, Healer, Damage Dealer. The green Craft tree is comprised of perks that provide increases to quality of life and mainly non-combat related benefits. The system has both passive perks and active perks (or what I call slottables) that increase your characters performance and convenience. Champion points are earned the exact same way as levels, through experience points.
Champion points are account bound, so any character beyond level 50 earns points for your entire account and other character(s).You start earning champion points at level 50.I’m going to give you some bullet points on how the system works and show you how you can use CP effectively. The champion point system is an alternative form of progression and is a bit confusing for a lot of new or returning players.
