DEF: regarding stats. in-game bug.

[Kailea_Nagisa]

I don't really want to get into detail as to why I do the same damage, and take hardly no notable extra damage on mobs of level 50 at Lv. 50 with gear off or on. Though I do have a question.

regarding patch 1.20 there was information given,

Strength
- attack power
- damage dealt by puglist, gladiator, marauder, and lancer arms

Vitality
- damage taken
- enhancement magic potency
- maximum HP
- damage dealt by marauder arms

Dexterity
- Accuracy
- Block Rate
- Parry
- Damage dealt by archer arms

Intelligence
- Attack magic potency
- Damage dealt by puglist arms

Mind
- Healing magic potency
- magic Accuracy
- Damage dealt by gladiator, thaumaturge, and conjurer arms.

Piety
- magic evasion
- enfeebing magic potency
- Max MP
- Damage dealt by archer, lancer, thaumaturge, and conjurer arms.


in-game; under point allotment. If you scroll over the stats, it gives you a description of what each stat does. Where in the world did the Defs in the patch notes get "Damage dealt by archer, lancer, thm, con." tied in with Piety for example. It makes perfect sense to be STR & DEX.

If I was a new player, playing a DAMAGE CLASS, and someone who doesn't read patch notes for example, I would very well read the description, the game gives under point allotment, and go with STR & DEX.

which is wrong. the game or the patch notes? (all the stats not just piety)

and? You would still be right, you would go STR/DEX for a DD class

PIE is used to modify damage of LNC and ARC.
INT for PUG.


EDIT: Getting my thoughts out. Why does Piety affect how well you use a lance or bow? I mean, inb4realisminfinalfantasy but how on earth does that make any sense?

INT for PUG is somewhat understandable seeing as it's sort of physical DD that deals elemental damage, but its not like anyone even uses PUG.

but so does STR, it is saying that you can place points in both. for instance....

if I had just a strait up GLA, I would be doing STR/DEX/VIT
but if I wanted a CON/GLA (or basis for Paladin), I would be placing points in STR/DEX/VIT/MND
now that mind would still be giving me damage + so the fewer points I have in STR wont matter.

Now even without said info I would have done the same, STR/DEX for the DD part of GLA, and VIT/MND for the Paladin part
