[dev1072] Abolition of Physical Levels / Attribute Point Revisions Discussion

[BruceyBruceyBangBang]

sorry bro, all indications is they are slowly killing all individuality in this game. jobs supposed to limit your skill choices, much less freedom in stat allocation etc, the direction is getting to be obvious.

You are given an illusion of freedom. The DMG output of cross classing is pretty much of the same range between each of the other WS abilities when you sub them. Stats are a illusion towards your freedom as well.

While most people seem to think that they do little to nothing, that is only because they don't fully understand the system currently. In most instances this is true about them not giving much performance. This is due to your stat, let's say, STR pushing either against or exceeding the mob's VIT. When pushing against the mob's VIT you'll see an increase of the effectiveness and consistency of your character's attack, while exceeding the mob's VIT with your STR gives great diminishing results or just simple having the output stagnant.

This was mostly the case until the Darkhold. Since not very many mobs required a high degree of allotment in one stat, we just always assumed they were broken. Not the case, you noticed this especially when fighting Ogre miniboss and see your DMG cap rise significantly when raising your STR to 150-170 opposed to 100-115 due to it's very large amount of base VIT.

Now, if dungeon raiding is your bag, and knowing the effectiveness of STR in your performance there, where does that leave you? Across the board in melee, and also in THM's case, you are going to see a large amount of care alloted into mostly one stat not leaving very much anywhere else. That is actually even more cookie cutter than you believe it is (not).

The new system... might not bring much more uniqueness and freedom. We have yet to try it out to base definitive opinions on it, but to say that is taking away freedom. You don't have your freedom. It was never there to begin with. You have a system that looks like freedom, but does not amount to anything on paper. All you're getting is flashy visuals and titles.
