Are the numbers too high?

Not sure where you're getting the idea that VIT doesn't reduce damage. I think in your testing you might not have held DEF constant while changing VIT so it might've skewed your results. Here is just one sample from my testing:



VIT clearly reduces the damage taken from enemies. Also, the rate of reduction is dependent on mob rank, but I won't get into that.

Hope this clears some things up,

Nice. Thanks for this. Maybe my numbers were just too high to see significant change. When I did it my VIT was ranging from 280-340 and def from 600-800. Every 100 def gave me a noticeable damage cut. Say I was at 599 def. when I hit 600 I was taking about 30 less. Maybe my VIT was just more than necessary for what I was fighting.

For classes like mages maybe it will be more effective to add alot of VIT because it's not very high to begin with. They would see better results. Could be similiar to int and magic attack. After so much INT it becomes useless unless you raise magic attack. It feels like the whole make the cup taller and fill it in with attack even though SE said it doesn't work that way.

They will probably still tweak stats with future updates so who knows.

Oh and I also find dex to be completely useless for block and parry. Anyone find it different?

according to this you should have seen an decrease in damage from an increase in either VIT or DEF until you hit the damage floor

People are testing things at such low stats. 269 is very low VIT. The higher you go past a larger number it starts to change. Well not change but what I think we are doing is capping ourselves. What if it was something like:

2def+1 VIT = 1 damage

At a certain point your going to hit a "cap" because it will be very difficult to meld the stats needed to continue the damage reduction. Has anyone tested something like this? I don't think we're seeing how stats really work yet.

Thanks for the link. I was looking it over more carefully and I realized it proved exactly what I'm trying to say. You should do more tests with higher VIT because I don't think there is a cap. I think your capping yourself. More def Started to to have no effect after a point but when I do it with more VIT I get damage cuts all the way to 900 def. There may be a ratio that needs to be kept to keep seeing damage cuts. All that def is useless without more VIT is what I think it may be.
