Another DPS with Dex sounds Dumb

They do seem to lack creativity when it comes to stats.

Or they'd rather focus on other aspects instead of coming up with different stats since they all work the same anyway. You're gonna stack the main stat whatever that is anyway.

Obviously stats will be only affected by the length of Great Sword used

Soon after i expect RMT tells to be "Want a bigger gs? just $$ and in 4 weeks gain 2 inches"

As stats are now, it doesn't matter what stats the new jobs use. It all ends up the same anyway.

DRK will use Vit/Str just because they like making 1 set to fit all tanks and healers. Same reason why AST will use Mind/Pie

Or Vit/Int and change tank gear into Str/Vit/Int gear.
Like they showed with Monk gear pre 2.4, it is no problem to add another stat to already existing gears.

[Radacci]

if they share gear, that will be a nuisance, like tanks/healers sharing gear. but it's also a problem if they don't, cause....more items in the loot pool=less chance that any person gets what they want.
unless they revamp and expand the stats, this is how it will continue: more and more jobs will share same stat gear, at least accessories. but then again, the nr of ppl in a pt, is constant, so it doesn't really matter much, as long as your party set-up doesn't stack jobs.

Except, that won't really work, because it's already been stated he will use dark magic, so it's also possible that it has a combo of str/int, or the attacks could be dealt magic damge, making it vit/int.

Vit is a no-brained for any tank class, but the damage stat could be a little different than notmal, do to the previously stated nature of his attacks and what it will have access to

You can still use magic without having a main stat in int. Ninja for instance uses Ninjitsu's which count as spells even though they are Dex.

Will be 3 dex and 3 str classes then .

But hopefully they implement some sort of token system for alexander, so life for bard loot wont suffer xd

Or they could do better, and revamp the loot system. . .

What if Machinist and Dark Knight were based on AGI ? (yeah, suggesting there could be a new stat).

As Drk will be parrying/evasion, AGI looks a good stat for it.
And for Machinist, it's can match too, distance with pet.

[RegentP]

Dark knight can be simple but I am not asking for a simple DPS or Tank; healer it doesn't hurt to have simplify thinking but I guess we can always more advance classes.

What if Machinist and Dark Knight were based on AGI ? (yeah, suggesting there could be a new stat).

AGI is kind of a Dump-Truck stat pool as well, but maybe for bards we should get the Dev's to add Piety to their gear to ensure a great barding.

Will be 3 dex and 3 str classes then.

Huh? *tries to think*

DEX = Bard, Ninja, Machinist
STR = Monk, Dragoon

What am I missing? D:

(Disclaimer: Not saying Machinist will be Dex, even if I see it as most likely. Just... Yeah.)
