The Extreme Mode Axe/Sword

every test of secondary effects of main stats is tier based, and I have not seen a single conclusive test of a secondary stat that showed if it was or was not also following a tiered system where if you dont cross X number you dont gain anything. show me evidence of non-tiered effects when it come to block, parry (rates or percentage) based on either main effects or secondary effects or thank you for you lack of input.

As far as I know, the only stat that seemed tiered was how much damage is parried/blocked based upon STR. Everything else has been inconclusive at best. Even the STR stuff may not be tiered either, the display (X% parried or whatever) may be getting rounded off.

raw parry is always a good thing str has walls dex has walls as for the vit vs parry argument depends on the stat weights for effective hp but that's a tricky thing to calculate. But it's 3 vit vs 26 parry. That's a good chuck of parry

The parry is meaningless because its chance based, and its only on physical.
People need to stop focusing on how big a number is, and consider the effectiveness of that number.

Interesting you say that.

BTW, Vitality is not a mitigation stat. It does not reduce any amount of damage, it only adds buffer.
