Stats Revamp: Auto-Attack

[Shougun]

I don't think you understand my meaning, the cap itself is calculated in part by dLVL. The formulas for determining... well... everything in FFXIV are immensely more complex than in almost any other MMO. The effect of a given piece of gear can be approximated by assuming you will be fighting a level 60 enemy (most endgame). But any tooltip cannot safely make the same assumption. Players at earlier levels will not be facing enemies at +10, so for them, it would be an inaccurate metric.

I think its assumed that the calculation would consider the level of your character. Obviously attack speed would add more damage to a level 50 then it would to a level 10, or if a cap is changing on a curve then the return on investment would change as you level as well.

But where was it said that your stats are based off of monster levels? That would be some really really weird system decisions. I believe your stats dont change, just the monster has exponential resistances based on level. Which is alright, thats pretty much in all mmo's anyways.

I'd rather not have that level of detail.

Fair enough. But are you referring to for yourself, or you feel it is something unfair no one should be able to innately see? Like I figured to see full on stat details you held "hotkey" over an item tooltip - because it isnt the most immersive feature and I dont always need to see it.
