Thread: Refurbishing 1.0 Stats for use in current version.

Stuff like Increases Jump damage unbalances the game. Probably why they took a lot of those stats like that out. Could possibly making something BiS past its time, or pretty much make it your only option. Say if it was on a relic for example. Some people don't want to grind relics but the Increases Jump damage makes it BiS and people will then feel they must get this one weapon over everything else.

Bis already exists in the game and if you offer someone the chance to get a bis through raiding (when they were not able to), I doubt they'd pass it up. So I don't really see how this is a problem. I dont think OP is asking these skill mods to be specifically attached to relics.

Personally I wouldn't mind seeing these in some kind of non gear character enhancement form like merits/talents. There will be bis setups for that too, no doubt, but I think if the game has more hard yet worth while non-raid content and it allows having multiple setups for one class, it shouldn't be an issue. Let people use cookie cutter bis max output setups for raids and trials, then they can use the other ones for solo and exploration. I mean, I'd have no qualms going as sam/war or whatever /sub my group needs for serious group content but I really loved trekking around and doing my own stuff as sam/dancer for the healing and utility.

I think a few different kinds of sub stats would be nice, to allow more variation between items of the same level. Including some stats that don't just make you deal more damage....

Ideas that come to mind; 'Stamina' - increases your base TP, and/or increases the natural TP recovery rate.

Constitution - reduces physical damage taken, increases your natural HP recovery rate, and reduces the duration of status ailments

Wisdom - reduces magical damage taken, and increases MP natural recovery rate (Or reduces the MP cost of spells instead, as that would probably work better with how BLM's work)

A stat that slightly extends the duration of Cooldowns and/or reduces their recast timers. (Can't think of an appropriate name though!)
