Clarification on some of the stat changes?

[Belial]

Could we get some clarification on the new changes to stats in 1.19? Will str still effect how much damage is blocked with shield? What about mnd and pie? Do they both improve max MPs? If not, does mnd only increase magic defense now? Just would like clarification please.

It would be nice to have but just from the wording of the notes I'm going to assume that all stats affect what they did before. It seems that they're only changing the effectiveness of the stats.

For example, this is what I believe (these are not actual numbers, just an example for simplicity sake):
pre-1.19: 50 STR adds 5 Attack Power to AA swings.
post-1.19: 50 STR adds 20 Attack Power to AA swings.

Causing a more visual change in stat allocation.
