Lancer Stats

no they aren't dumb, notice I have a lot of str too, It does affect it yes but not as it should it's really disproportionate.. ask any DD...

Broken is a bad term that people (myself included) have thrown around with stats too much. Right now, from various community tests, parsing, etc. here is what I have uncovered for knowledge as far as melee stats are concerned:

DEX: No affect on Accuracy, very slight boost to Critical Hit
STR: Increases Attack with very large diminishing returns, you won't notice a change 20-30, 30-40, 40-50, etc. You can only see a substantial difference when going from, say... 60 STR to 120 STR.
VIT: HP Box magnifier.
MND: MP Box magnifier (as much as people like to think this isn't for DD, when it comes to this game, having a deep MP pool is not a bad option for any class).
PTY: Helps WS DoTs stick better (Skull Sunder, Bloodletter, etc.)

So, since you get SO many points to pump out, and SO little visible different, people consider them "broken."

They work, poorly, and not as intended, and it's getting changed. After physical level is abolished we will have less points to re-distribute & they will have a larger impact per point. I think they're aiming to make stat changes very noticeable.

Seriously, you are rank 50 and still dont know/notice that DEX increases your accuracy? How is that even possible... /facepalm

I say you are a troll.

STR: "An increase in STR will result in a steady and consistent increase in damage. "
DEX: "Increasing DEX will result in a decreased Miss Rate."
VIT: "VIT may also reduce the raw damage you take, in addition to increasing your HP value."

INT: "Increasing INT values does steadily increase Phantom Dart average damage. However may not affect Weapon Skill or Nuke (Scourge/Scourge II) damage"
MND: Increases max mp and healing potency.
PIE: "Increasing PTY has ABSOLUTELY NO EFFECT OR CORRELATION TO INCREASING ACCURACY OR LOWERING RESIST RATES for Phantom Dart, Damnation, Scourge/II, Shadowsear."

Yea, that are the REAL parser results.

What You want to do is...

1) High STR - > 120
2) High VIT - >150
3) High DEX - >100

4) Low INT - <40
5) Average MND - <80
6) No PIE - <10

lol i'm rank 50 and i have 88 dex and I hit 95% of the time.. get off my nuts I'm not a troll you want to see my stats? Get on lodestone (if they even show them there) and see for yourself. I hit like a train, and survive, dex has helped me naught.

My post was directed at Belial, who obviously is talking bullshit.
