stats actually matter a lot, but its pretty complex, and people dont fully understand it. there is scaling due to level, level differences, stat caps, and various other things at play here. but be certain your stats has a very noticeable effect. go level as a level 1 starting and level with a level 50 physical level as a level 1, you ll see a lot of difference, go reset your stats to 0 and compare them to a fully allotted chr, you ll also see a lot of difference.

Its simply hard to pinpoint due to dlevel, stat caps, soft caps, and etc.
