Buffing VIT Nerfing STR - Some simple math...

[Kuwagami]

Is there any reason that the ratios for VIT and STR have to add up to 1? Couldn't they do something like VIT*0.7 and STR*0.1 if they wanted to?

No there isn't. In fact, it's a really bad reasonning as we have to keep a similar attack power as what we have now (unless they nerf it, but speculating on a nerf would strech out the early guesses way too much)

Someone came up with a 0.3:0.5 ratio for STR:VIT which was keeping a constant damage ration when compared to monk's attack power on nearly all ilevel tiers.

I personally went with a 0.42:0.62 ratio but my calculations were lacking in-depth comparison and the tank attack power was in result growing too fast when compared to the monk.


The only thing we know for sure is that VIT will have more power than STR.

SE please give us the numbers

SE never released any numbers. xD We'll have to figure them out the same way we figured out all of the other numbers.

Regressing more like it; at least in 2.x it wasn't just a flat 20% reduction no matter the parry stacked. A complete overhaul of damage checks would be needed( As in Parry checks before Block and Criticals), also even then, at least for Warrior, you would need some kind of damage return for your parry; Critical and Determination stacking is added dps and increases mitigation from loads of abilities.

a fix could be having a stat affect parry strengh just like the shields have their block rate AND strengh. But SE removed that, so that would mean creating yet an other stat people wouldn't want to have anyway because lolRNG. meh :/

So 0.7:0.1 is exactly the same as 0.875:1.25

While true on a pure math point of view, this isn't how you should see it in this case.

a 0.7:0.1 ratio would actually be a 0.7:0.1:0.2 ratio for VIT:STR:nothing to account for the fact that the sum of VIT + STR far surpasses our current STR count
