Why HP inflation is a valid concern

[Baci]

Exactly. Now imagine they screwed up the scaling EVERY patch with new stuff by changing the AP multiplier. Would that be good? No. It's better they have a solid AP scaling principle and only tune the new gear to the new fight in order to not screw up the old stuff.

Here lies the problem. They are screwing with the scaling but do not change the gear.

I just don't get it. Assuming our stats grow with gear as they always have and HP scaling remains static as it always has, how is .45/.45 VIT/STR any different at all from .9 STR with STR crammed into all of our gear, or .9 VIT with everything else neatly untouched? How? How does this warrant constant adjustment?

Indeed. This is the problem that they need to fix.

History backs none of these arguments up. Did we have too much AP or HP for the entire 4 patches that the previous scaling was in effect? What was broken? How?

Yoshi stated that STR/VIT AP was a fix that they determined worked for the content range at the time. So it obviously was fine. Tanks originally scaled with STR only, we just returned to the old system.
