Can We Please Get Some Transparency With Stats?

Why can I not see in game how adding X points of Critical Hit or Determination affects my damage or how adding X points of Skill Speed reduces my global cool down?


It could be as simple as hovering over the stat in question and a box pops up showing you what your critical hit% and crit damage% are.

This depends on your target, otherwise our ever-rising iLv would just constantly keep raising your crit chance.

Same reason why we don't have bonus stats or set bonuses. Starts with the letter "L."

something something limitations! Please look forward to it!

OK for now maybe but with 4.0 dropping PS3 support is that really an excuse anymore?

It has nothing to do with L it's hand holding, the same reason we can't have a (legitimate) parser.

They wanted the game to be like a 'safe space' for players so they made far too many restrictions for 'our well being'.

I mean.

Not flat-out giving critical hit rates, how much a given stat affects damage dealt, or how much speed affects the rate your turn comes up is pretty common even in single-player RPGs.

It has nothing to do with limitations or hand-holding. It's just a staple of the genre.

FF14 2.0 was literally made to be very like WoW and they have had detailed stats for a while. interestingly enough they've went with the coddling approach to st sheets for their latest expansion but with them you can download a third party addon to restore it. With the introduction of savage they clearly want the serious raider and part of that is optimising your stats.

...Get your relevant numbers as big as possible? That's worked for me so far, I don't know about you.

Granted, I don't raid, but - especially here on the forums - there's plenty of places where you can see which stats each job prefers. If you really want to see how everything works out, you might have to dig a bit deeper, but it's still findable. It shouldn't be a problem at all.
