Stats And You!

[Glaurung]

Since you are all discussing stat changes, post patch 1.19, I thought I'd pass along some info regarding the changes to stats that we received from Triairy. It looks like he left off physical evasion, so I'll bug him about it.

Thanks Bayohne!
Question thou, which stat would effect crit hit rate? Thanks!

^ This. PGL feeds off crits, and it only makes sense that DEX would be the stat in the equation.

Just chiming in to share some testing by a jp player on the "DEX=block?" subject.

It's all in japanese, so some of the finer points may be missed, but it's quite obvious that boosting DEX did absolutely nothing for block rate. Block rate actually decreased due to the sacrifice of STR in some slots to stack DEX. I've personally seen a noticeable increase in block rate by stacking STR (albeit a small sample size).

Hopefully we get a dev response on how exactly they intend for these stats to work!
