Change Stat allocation to secondary Stats

[Giantbane]

As it works now, point for point, a main stat will ALWAYS be better than secondary stats. i.e. 30 str >>>>>>> 30 det. With monk for example, you would need roughly 90 det to equal 30 str.

This isn't a concern since it applies to everyone equally.

I completely disagree. Aside from a few number that you need to pass the threshold to get a small percentage, there is really a lot of versitility if only you know how and what you wanted to do with the job. I'll use a tank as an example. You have the option to put more points into str, which increase your damage, which you get the most out of for your enimity generation. OR you could simply put more points into vit so you can take those hard hits. There is a min you need to pass for end game, past that, you can do what you want with your points. It's your game style, you do what suits you. If you don't believe me, play around with i90 pentamelded gear and see what you can get out of it. You'll be surprised. The reason people follow the crowd of putting points into main slots now is because this game is so new, it's hard to know exactly how the system computes a lot of stat allocation. It's "safer" to go mainstream, but as soon as you step outside that, you'll find a whole nother world out there. Good luck!

This doesn't offer much choice still. At best you're talking about a choice between 2 stats. The other 4 stats are mostly worthless (DEX) or completely worthless (INT/MND/PIE). It's silly to be offered this many choices when 4/6 of the choices are very bad.

Also VIT doesn't offer a lot of *choice*. VIT doesn't improve your mitigation at all, it just improves how much damage you can in 1 hit (or in a short time span). After you've reached whatever threshold for the content you're working on such that you can take the biggest hit necessary, you don't need any more at all. So STR is a good choice because it actually improves your damage. But it's still really not much of a choice. Do I have enough VIT? Good, go STR because VIT isn't doing anything anymore.

Other classes get that to a small degree. Main stat vs. VIT. They can choose to go VIT in very high end content if there's a lot of AoE and they need to make minimum levels of VIT to take the hit. But it's still a very, very limited choice.

With secondary stats, at least DET/Crit/Acc/Speed (skill or spell) all apply to everybody in some way, so at least most of the choices will benefit you in *some* way, even if there is one way to go that's a little better than the others.
