VIT vs. STR 3.2

[SpookyGhost]

Assuming .45 AP per point for VIT and STR (sounds right to me), is it possible to look at the stats on Lore/Midas gear and calculate how much AP we'll have by the end of it? I'll prob do that later if no one can be bothered, curious to see where we'll sit at by the end of this ilvl increase.

e: Realized people are probably actually doing stuff in the patch so I'll just do it myself later lol

1020 STR, 1395 VIT

459+628 = 1087

At full i240 with STR melds, our AP will be 42 points above what full STR was at the end of 3.1.

Commence the QQ.

Not a big deal considering that you won't have to roll againts the horde of DPS for your loot, and that your HP will just skyrocket.

How will we compare against a perfect pentamelded set ?

My set is missing a few points of STR and VIT. Not enough to make a huge difference.

Its a BIG drop in damage for a warrior HOLY crap. Going from 1k attack damage down to 840, HOLY crap pvp is gonna suck now <.<:

It affected all of us equally. Not just WAR. Also Fell Cleave still crits for 5K with zerk and no party-buff/food. Quitcho bitchin'

All 3.2 items say Advanced Melding Forbidden.

We know from interviews that they said that you wouldn't be able to overmeld main stats, but does this also stop secondary stat materia melding on these pieces (and, in that case, wouldn't it theoretically allow us to min-max more thoroughly on crafted equipment that might not have this restriction)?

Regardless, due to the melds, I'm going to be working to get GSM to 50 ASAP once I've completed MSQ, Hildy, the new dungeons, and gotten my feet wet in Alexander: Midas.
