Thread: VIT vs. STR 3.2

Rather than refine DRK and PLD to operate in their areas as well as WAR previously did, they decided to beat us down.

Long and short of it is, I'm switching over to SMN as my main.

Exceeeeeept that our defense was not by any means inferior and is arguably superior.
All that extra healing really ended up as overhealing and isn't part of our rotation to surviving the tankbuster(s). It was just a nice extra that happened to scale really well with our damage. I think it's purpose was to make up for the -5% healing disparity in Defiance with ShO/Grit(?)

When wearing full VIT, if I put on 2 STR accessories my AP would go up to about 870. Putting on more after that made it drop. No clue why.

Edit: ...i take that back. I tried again and it didn't go up. Super weird.

759x + 1106y = 838
994x + 861y = 834
solve for x and y

its too late I can't do math at the moment

edit
ok i just did it, its .45 for x and y

so whoever said its .45 for both is right.

Assuming .45 AP per point for VIT and STR (sounds right to me), is it possible to look at the stats on Lore/Midas gear and calculate how much AP we'll have by the end of it? I'll prob do that later if no one can be bothered, curious to see where we'll sit at by the end of this ilvl increase.

e: Realized people are probably actually doing stuff in the patch so I'll just do it myself later lol
