So vit is strictly better.

When vit is capped and therefore not an option, meld str.

Are you seeing Vit capped with current gear? If so, how low can we have our character's base Vit to still get capped?

Meldable gear have vit caps. The crafted 220 pieces and the current blues are vit-capped, but you can still meld strength to them.

The point is
Always wear vitality gear.
Meld Strength if possible.

The stat caps are per item, not per character. Your character can go all base VIT and still not get capped on anything.

Still wondering if it affects evasion

Is there a good FAQ for game mechanics?

Neither. DEX is worthless now.

So no, it doesn't affect parry rate and it doesn't affect evasion.

Old good 2.0 had secondary stat based on primary stat like DEX affecting parry rate, STR affecting parry strength.

They nerfed it, however i still don't understand why.
Now secondary stats are based on current class, gear and melds.

EDIT: evasion is constant value now iirc.

So if there is no hard or soft caps on your own character attribute stats... is there any argument against using all your additional points on Vitality?

If you mean the 35 attribute bonus points, then you should put all of those into VIT. Anything else is a loss

That's what I thought, thanks.
