''See also: [[Venomancer Skills]]''

Venomancers have three sets of skills, the first skill tree is composed of your attack skills. The second skill tree is composed of your healing, mana regeneration and self buff skills. The final skill tree is composed of your Fox Form only skills. If you chose the path of Arcane or Light Armor build your main focus will be in the first two skill trees. If you take the path of the Heavy Armor Build, your main focus will be on your For Form skills. Venomous Scarab is your first skill. It is a magic attack that deals wood damage. As an Arcane/Light Armor Build it is one of your most important skills and should be leveled as soon as you can because it will be your main attack as you continue your path as an Arcane or Light Armor Venomancer. The Following is a list of important Venomancer skills and their effects:

'''Ironwood Scarab''' - "Throw a splinted bug at the enemy inflicting wood damage and reducing the target's physical defense." Ironwood Scarab is a powerful attack that deals strong damage to an enemy and will reduce it's physical defense by a certain percentage for 10 seconds. This skill will allow pets that perform melee attacks to hit harder on your enemy, a must have for Arcane/Light Armor Venomancers.

'''Parasitic Nova''' - "Summon a toxic parasite array to attack the target and all enemies within a radius around it. Deals wood damage." High powered Area of Effect skill. Deals significant damage to the target and near targets (radius increases as skill is leveled). Great skill to get out of a tight situation. Con is that it requires two sparks to usee.

'''Bramble Guard''' - "Cast a bramble shield of protection around a friendly target. Returns Melee damage to attacker." Bramble Guards is an essential skill that will allow you to deal damage to a target if you are attacked. It can also be cast on others and is a great skill to use when fighting Boss type monsters

'''Bramble Hood''' - "Create an array of brambles to return physical damage. Also reduces damage take for a period of time." If you ever find yourself in a dangerous situation, Bramble Hood can save your life. Downside is that it requires two sparks to use but will greatly reduce the damage you take while you make your escape.

'''Soul Transfusion''' - "Instantly exchange hit point and mana point values" Soul Transfusion is a must have. There will be time when you've use all your means of healing and may be at risk of dying, you see your hit points dropping and think you're about to die. Suddenly you click on Soul Transfusion and your hit points are replenish while your mana is drained. Soul Transfusion will allow you to survive long enough to make your escape.

'''Summer Sprint''' - "Greatly increases movement speed" A necessary skill as it allow you to run at faster speeds. Essential for making escapes and an overall nice skill to have when running around on foot.

'''Fox Form''' - "Morph into Werefox form. Physical defense and chance to hit are greatly increased, but mana points are reduced." Fox Form is a required skill which allows you access to use Werefox skills. If you are a heavy armor venomancer you will spend a great deal of time attacking in Fox Form.

'''Amplify Damage''' (Fox Form skill) - "Increases damage done to targets."  Amplify Damage will greatly help the squad that's fighting the monster for you as it is a curse spell and will result in the target taking more damage. Overall, Amplify Damage is a great skill to have.

'''Wood Mastery''' - "Increases all Wood magic damage." For light armor/arcane venomancers it is a must have as it increases your attack damage. Level is as soon as you can.
