[dev1027] [dev1032] Status Allocation System + Damage Calculation Broken/Unbalanced

[Augury]

I reviewed Deus' data, and I need to toss in that it doesn't quite support the general conclusion that PIE is a useless stat. It does support that changing from 40 to 100 Piety against one particular creatures (Doblyns) has no effect. It also supports that rank is a very significant factor in the calculations.

I don't think he was concluding that PIE is useless- just that it's dependent on the spell cast, or rather the spells he liked to use had no use for PIE. I could have read wrong, but the data seemed to prove only that PIE doesn't effect some spells/skills and that rank holds significant sway in damage calculation.

I wish they would just ffxi level up stats

Deus, a bunch of us are thinking about soloing and the effect of INT on damage. A lot of people are concluding that INT has no effect based on your test and are zeroing out their INT. However, your test was with INT nearly maxed out! I'd love to see the results of your test with 0 in INT, 40 in INT, and so on.

It makes a difference if you're going from 16 to 40~80.

After 100, not so much of a difference. Diminishing returns.
