VIT will scale with attack power, STR will scale but not as much

[Bashum]

Welcome to the world of every other job in this game: quality as a player based on skill and not gear. What a fucking tragedy.

Rather snarky considering I was agreeing with you no? I'm just annoyed that in the name of "balance" more and more choices are being removed.

Maybe they should take it one further, in the name of balance. STR, VIT, DEX, INT, MND, have all been removed. All gear now carries one stat called "effectiveness" or EFF for short. Increases damage dealt by magic and physical, and also increases your health/mana pools.

Should probably also remove the combat combo system, it's too confusing for some players, and we want to make everything as equal as possible. So now you have one button to mash, and the game will automatically use the most appropriate ability for you.

I'm actually okay with this. Replace str/dex/int with attack power, considering that's all that it is anyway.

Very happy to hear this, feeling pressured to use Str accessories while tanking never felt right to me.

I'm just going to assume until 3.2, that Strength will be made into another Det/SS modifier on tanks and Vit will be 1:1 with AP like the main stat is on other jobs. Until then, nothing lost and not a whole lot gained. I'm hoping we don't end up with another Str x Dex x Vit argument again with something convoluted like 2:1 (Vit:AP) and 4:1 (Str:AP) on tanks.

After all the pissing and moaning about Gordias, and then these changes, I fully expect the bosses in Midas to hit like freight trains. Kinda exciting really.

As someone who enjoys playing a healer, I agree. It will be exciting (and fun!)

Grind like the wind for what reason? There's been plenty of time to acquire multiple sets of eso gear. I have a complete collection of gordian/eso slaying accessories and still had eso to spare for more things. Hell, the eso cap is being removed anyway so....What?

That and Midas is being released and with new accessories too on top of the uncapped eso things. A good tank should have VIT and STR sets already ANYWAY. I used crafted accessories early on and still rolled on as much vit AND str stuff as I could lol.

There's no excuse.

Thats just how they are putting it. Their words, not mine.

They said it on the livestream. Fell Cleave will be nerfed to 300

Welcome to our world. Monks Tornado kick was rumored to be 500 but they reduced it to 320. Sure its 20 more but we dont use it much.

I heard no exact number, and kind of doubt this would be viable. The only advantage it'd have over Inner Beast dps-wise would then be 10% crit, as IB already ignores Defiance's damage reduction.

Stop spreading that rumor. Literally no one said anything about any WAR nerfs. i was watching the entire stream and went over the google doc.

Provide a source instead of spreading hearsay.

Ok so I just want to get this right because I just read some of the live letter so I play as a str drk. So are you telling me that I can no longer play a str tank anymore. I'm sorry but I don't agree with these changes at all. I have never had a problem str tanking why should I be punished because ppl cant tank. This is a MMO which means for me to play as I want this vit thing feels like a punishment.
