Am I dense?

[Skies]

hmm im sorry if i havent understood and im not sure about the OP but i was thinking of the relevance of what 1 stat actually equates to- in damage,emnity,damage reduction,etc,etc terms.

what your talking about is we get 150 (example) stat points that are going to be made into 80 stats points that have an equal effect.. if i understand correctly...

and that might very well be what yoshi is talking about but... the point is this effect isnt noticeable.

Is it, or is it not?
I did notice that the newest screenshots have stats wildly different, look at that Drachen Mail.
Stats might not be noticeable, they might be very noticeable, there are threads talking about the effects stats have, i'd defer you to them I cannot judge them as that is not my area of expertise.

So we're potentially looking at a .8 decrease in equipment stats or a .8 increase in character base stats then?

Or a .2 increase in equipment stats and 1 increase in character base stats
Or an internal multipler to character base stats
Or the character base stats serving as a limiting threshold for gear stats
Or... Anything, at all. Who knows what they are going to do?
