Melee/Magic/Ranged + HP is not a good idea

[OrdinoArcalis]

You can't base this decision off of lower lvl play. You have to balance for endgame.

Yea, plus levelling a char at low level is kinda easy once you reached level 50. Once you have all your chimeras, using 22% hp abs and +100 vit on weapon guarantees you not to die. Or 22% mana abs and solo euphoria if you're a templar.

[OrdinoArcalis]

well they could also make them usable for pve for a full effect and maybe half for pvp, or less since endgame pvp does matter. idk just a thought

Nonono you don't need 50% hp stone to level. I mean I level already at upper at lvl 65-70, the 22% hp abs does the job as well as full vit chimera armor.

savage at lvl60 : full vit chimera + full str stone, lion2 + chimera dagger (45% melee, 38% damage drop, 22% hp abs, 35% attack speed, +100 str) and you're good to solo rooms at upper at lvl 65 with pdef scroll and almighty.

then it looks like dekans and other full vits might be the only ones who benefit from those 50% hp stones lol. i dont look forward to getting w/Dffs XD

Would be nice if they stacked for ran but really I just want to craft those spirit stones because it gives me something to do.

...so you had to pick your focus stat and sacrifice other stats. So a vit dekan couldn't also have melee attack etc. Temps have always hit hard but they used to have to sacrifice in hp/vit/pdef before the additional boss drops and then rings with all stats and upgrades and epics were added which kept things a little more balanced. You had to focus a particular stat for the character or build you were going for.

Which is exactly how balanced gameplay should be. Each class having its most useful build. Full dex guards and agi dhans crit hard. Full int temps hit hard. Vit dekans ffs hard. Str dhans dp pp hard. Vit defenders tank like nobody's business. Each pure build has its strength. What ends up ruining that balance is adding high all-stat and all-attack bonuses that allowed these pure builds to enhance other attributes (most notably HP). Frankly if you are building a dps char, you should not reasonably be expected to tank. If you are building a tank, you reasonably should not expect to be able to inflict heavy damage. Once you toss in boss drops with all stats and all attack boosts, you flush that whole idea of balance down the crapper. If a player really wanted to play more than lone stat, there has always been the hybrid builds (a hybrid guard was hella fun to play). How may here plays a hybrid build anymore?

Yup, vit dekans are going to be the problem once again.

If you are building a tank, you reasonably should not expect to be able to inflict heavy damage.

Vit dekans...

Yup yup yup

[OrdinoArcalis]

Actualy if ffs/dffs/wffs was str or int based damage the problem would be solved.

[Sunraven]

Vit dekans...

Maybe, maybe not, there have been changes to skills since then. Priests have mdef aura now, wffs was nerfed, etc.

We're going to see that soon. But you gotta take in account all the ticket +100 allstats (star of victory) and +10 conqueror level...
