So now that stats are automated...

[Rau]

Will there be a more noticeable effect on how strength, intelligence, dexterity, and piety have on their respective stats?

As it is now, they have a negligible effect, especially in INT's case where the difference of 15INT and 140Int only increasesthe power of a Nuke by a few points of damage. Even worse. Many Tier 2 spells are useless, and doing lessdamage than their tier 1 counterparts, not to mention the utterly useless Ancient Magic...

So yeah, now that stats are automated, will stats matter? Or will Mages be stuck as curebots or DoT guys til 1.21?

Of course.

But it's not because they are automated, but because they are class-specific.

It also has very little to do with the effectiveness of nukes versus other forms of damage.

[Rau]

How do you explain why INT and PIE have little do with the effectiveness of nukes when it is literally in their description?

[syntaxlies]

i never knew what stats were good for doh and dol, so im glad theyll be auto as well.

[Betelgeuzah]

INT and PIE having a larger effect does not automatically mean that nukes will suddenly become more useful just because the stats will.

[Ark_mage2]

They will have a greater effect not so much because they are being automated, but because in 1.19 all of the battle algorithms are being rewritten to put a bigger emphasis on stats and less of an emphasis on class level.

they never commited to this. they said they want the stats to be easier to figure out, the developers never mentioned the effect of dlvel in anything i remember at all. If i missed that post, i apologize and ask that you kindly link it to me. But i never saw that mentioned.

I want to know if nukes and cures from non magic classes will be nerfed and/or if such spells will get boosted for magic classes. Plus, could a non magic class equip all INT PIE materia and boost up their nuke cure potential? If so, could make Gladiators with healing sets, make a rugged healer!

I think when you switch to GLA you basically lose all but a small amount of your INT and PIE stats bar a few points, so you'll have enough to use for MP based attacks but throwing out cures would just chew through your MP pool in a matter of seconds.

That being said I doubt Gladiators will be able to be the heal-tanks they are at the moment :3
