Hi Carraway,

What do you think about Mercenary Leggings over Sipahi Crackows?

PIE instead of DEX and 1 less? Definitely worse, but really all of the footwear are so close to each other that it's not going to make a huge difference. However, because the Leggings are unmeldable and offer no DPS increase over meldable alternatives, I don't see a reason to use them at all. Might as well go with the Cobalt-plated Caligae or Jackboots and throw some +HP on them.

The attribute bonus info that was released for each class was listed as Auto-Attack bonuses. One thing I'm curious about is if these bonus stats, for instance DEX/PIE for Archer, enhance only the standard Light Shot or do they increase Weaponskill damage as well. Could it be that Weaponskill damage is still based off of STR?

I did some super-quick testing last night and my observation was that PIE was affecting WS damage as well. I'll do more in-depth testing when I have time, but I'm pretty sure PIE operates similarly for ARCs as it does for LNCs.
