Are the numbers too high?

Apparently you don't know archer very well and I was under the assumption we were discussing DOW classes. For Mage magic damage use INt and Mag att

I was making reference to the fact that he was specifically commenting on damage from auto attack. Which becomes a bit pointless with DoM classes, and does not exist in ARC. Although the way they effect Heavy/Light shot has the same effect, none the less its not an auto attack.

So, and this is what I have worked out skimming this thread.

Your defence stat should be equal to the cumulative defence stats of your gear. But currently you have base defence stat, that is somewhat like have skin made from chainmail by the time you are level 50.

Yes, that should be abolished. You should have 0defence if your in the nude!


The next issue is.

If an archer has 300 defence, and a tank has 500 defence.

Why doesn't an archer take 200 more damage from duplicate attack? Obviously the damage mechanic is more complicated than

Attack Damage - Defence stat = Damage received

Though maybe it should'nt be so complicated??

My perspective here, is that I could see MRD/GLD having higher base defence for example, and PGL having a much higher base evade/parry rate. Just tossing up broad examples, but my point is that various classes could have higher base numbers inately in the areas of specialty shall we say. At least thats my take on it.

On your point about the damage taken, yeah its definently out of whack.
