Stats adjustments

[Hustensaft]

Everything in this game is linear. Linear = the more you have, you will see a straight gain. Every stat works like this. Crit is not exponential

Right now it is - in Heavensward CRT will be exponential. Read the patchnotes and OP before posting.

We get higher values of stats at 60, stats need to be rebalanced.

As stat conversion changes based on level, increasing the levelcap doesn't mean you'd have to rebalance stats.

Auto-Attack is removed from DET because it was signficantly stronger for any class with auto-attack than SS and DET.
SS is buffed because the more DoTs you had contributing to your damage, the worse SS was.

CRT is buffed for no obvious reason. Instead of linear it is now exponential (the more CRT you have, the more value each point of CRT has). I don't get why CRT was even touched.

I know its the preliminary patch notes but:

[2.0] In accordance with the raise in level cap, the following job actions and parameters have been adjusted.
Job Action

Warrior

Defiance
Wrath

There is no mention of Holmgang which is a move I believe needs to be reworked or at the very least have its duration bumped up. Crit might be the way to go for warriors since Deliverance increase crit rate if I'm not mistaken.

We don't know that STR is losing its usefulness to block and parry, tanks actually use and get a benefit out of STR, DEX on the other hand is something tanks just don't use, they could just be removing DEX and rebalancing parry and block to work without it.

I assumed this was what they were doing. A small part of me is thinking vitality might play a role in parry rate (or maybe parry strength) but that's a shot in the dark.

Agree about the goodness of STR synergy. But

I was anticipating a change in some form to the STR formula for extra Parry/Block mitigation.

New level cap, i170 gear.. If the STR formula isn't changed, and keeps linear scaling, the STR mitigation bonus by lvl60 (with BiS Slaying jewelry) may be too powerful.

Too little information to go on.

Crit change sounds good, though.

The DET change only effects auto-attack.

they made crit just like how it was in V1.0, it give you power now too which is really nice.

The DET change only effects auto-attack.

yea i know but depends on how bad its it might reduce DPS for a good chunk especially on war like 27-30% of damage comes from AA.

Say goodbye, Sword Oath !

Say goodbye, Sword Oath !

yup, also war get 27-29% of its total DPS from AA, i guess we will see how much the nerf is lol
