about new stat curves

kaedennn

so , i just wanted to point this point since a lot of players cries before but now no one talk about it .

Well , after all the new start curves are not bad , it just made us choose only one path , dps only or survivability which is a great thing .

For exemple , i've never been able to reach 41% Critical chance in M5 because of diminishing returns , now i can , but i wont have extra deflection or other defensive stats because i'll be focusing on dps gear Wise and vise versa .

everyone agree or still more QQ ?

DPS or survivability means everyone has to pick survivability. Not a great thing, since you can't DPS while dead. Since you care about deflect and can DPS, I'll assume you are a TR, who has survivability built in. Although, you should have easily been able to get over 41% crit as a TR.

On top of that, defensive stats are now pretty worthless. With GFs getting 1 shot through shield, I can't imagine that any amount of DR will make a difference.

Given the limited choices, I have no choice but to pick QQ

I will have to agree with this. Though... my dps did not increase in to the degree that the mobs health and damage increased. I think that is fact at this point.

The curves definitely changed but are not consistent with the stat curves from before. My crit is 4500, before mod 6 is was 3k. It was at 40% when I was 60 with a 25 dex.

I have been trying to figure out the curves for a while. The Path concept explains a lot about the stats selections.

im not a tr (i'm human ) ; what i've said is not specifically about one class , it's for everyone , deflection was just an exemple of a defensive stat , and tr doesn't even need to stack critics anyway .

plus , defensive stats still have use in pvp .

as i see , people like to QQ , complain , and adore see glasses half empty x)

My problem that there's still a soft cap. ArP starts diminishing around 3800 for example.

it's not a big deal , it's a slight soft cap

I'm guessing this is no longer accurate with all the new levels, nerfs, etc... https://www.desmos.com/calculator/3dqpvhuavj
Can someone confirm this please.... or is there another site offering a new curve calculator?

This http://nw-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?559701-Soft-Cap-list will need to be updated as well. I used this as a guide line for the first few mods and it helped me keep my character somewhat balanced but all that has changed now so whoever created it..... it would be great to see it updated to match the new game mechanisms at play!
