White Mods

White Modifiers are calculated first, before Blue, Yellow or Gold Modifiers. As such, white-text values are usually considered the "base" value for most statistics.

Modifier	Effect
Absorption Warding Energy +X%	A base statistic of Energy Shields. This determines the proportion of damage that will be dealt to the energy shield, rather than character health points. This white-text modifier is the base value, which can be increased by the blue bonus of the same name.
Armor Type +X	Increases protection against a certain damage type by a static amount.
Attack Value +X	Increases attack value by a static amount.
Attack Speed +X%	Increases attack speed by a percentage.

Defense Value +X	Increases defense value by a static amount.
Max. Shield Energy +X%	Increases the energy points of the player's Energy Shields by a percentage. Energy points are like hitpoints for Energy Shields.

Shield Regeneration +X%	Increases the regeneration rate of Energy Shields.

Chance to Disregard Armor +X%	Adds a percent chance to bypass the armor (resistances) of an enemy. This will allow an attack to inflict higher damage, as if the opponent had no resistances.
Chance to Evade +X%	Lowers enemies' base hit chance based on a player's base defense as per this formula: new enemy hit chance = old enemy hit chance / (1 + evade/100). Any item, attribute, skill or Combat Art that adds defense, excluding +X% Defense, is considered a player's base defense.

This only works with melee/ranged attacks and weapon-based Combat Arts. Hybrid Combat Arts can also trigger it. Does not work when using spells or secondary effects (Burn, Poison, etc.)
Life Leeched Per Hit +X	For every successful hit, the player gains the "+X" amount of health from the opponent´s hitpoints. This effect stacks with no diminishing returns, and is often more useful than "Leech Life from Opponents +X%" since the percentage values are very low, except when fighting bosses and mini-bosses. This only works with melee/ranged attacks and weapon-based Combat Arts. Hybrid Combat Arts can also trigger it. Does not work when using spells or secondary effects (Burn, Poison, etc.) The "+X" damage is extra, non-resistable damage.

Regeneration Per Hit +X	Every successful hit reduces the regeneration time of any Combat Arts that are still regenerating by "X" amount of time. Non-weapon-based combat arts cannot trigger this effect, but will have their regeneration time reduced, only weapon-based attacks (both "normal" hits and weapon-based combat arts) can trigger this effect. Hybrid Combat Arts can also trigger it. This effect does not reduce "cooldown" time in any way. Only "regen" time may be reduced. For example, if the combat art Dashing Alacrity has a regen time of 2 seconds + a cooldown time of 30 seconds, only the 2 second regen time may be eliminated via Regeneration Per Hit.
Regeneration Time -X%	Reduces the regeneration time for all Combat Arts.
Run Speed +X%	Increases the un-mounted run speed of the player's character by a percentage, up to the run speed cap of 150%. It will stack with all other sources of this mod.
