Important interactions
- Combat Codex effects validate player targets and do not grant their listed PvP effect against creatures.
- Changing weapons cancels a prepared technique when the recorded weapon no longer matches.
- Deep Wound and Mortal Assault do not stack; the stronger active healing reduction is used.
- Movement slows do not add another slow while the target is already controlled by Web Potion.
- The Combat Codex is separate from the Warrior, Archer, Arcane, Beastmaster and Bard PvM Codices.
