[dev1072] Bringing back the other stats?

[Jinko]

LOL no, in fact I would suggest this game consolidating more of its stats, this game has waaayyyyy too many stats.

Simplifying stats such as ..

2 Str = 1 Attack
2 Dex = 1 Agility
2 Int = 1 Mag Attack
etc..

Instead we have Str and Attack which do different things depending on the stat values of the monster in question.

No wonder there is so much confusion about what stats are best suited to which class/job.

Base weapon damage needs to go and a DPS calculation should be added into the gear/attributes window based on a players total stats.

I thought as far as damage goes str was the curve and attack was the range?

Yea I suppose but it still doesn't change the fact the DMG stat trumps all.

Which is why I say DMG should be based on your stats not be a stat of its own.

Aye, they do need to do something about that. It sucks because I'd like to try some things out with a Crab Bow and Hart Guisarme but there's no point because I have Ifrit's Bow and Harpoon. Meanwhile a Lightning Brand with Int materia is the shiznitdigity.
