Knowing AGS they are going 4 stat points per piece.
-30% nerf to heavies with a life staff is not considered ‘extreme.’
Combat team plays combat in a vacuum. Which is why these things seem ‘reasonable’ to them on paper.
Heavy players saying “Heavy WH GA unviable.” And then turn around and say “Heavy LS OP.”
It’s heavy. On god. Same issues different weapon.
I hope not.
“Hey you know what would be cool?”
Split stat with 550 points to work with.
300 Dex/245 INT BiS muskets LETS GOOO.
300 250 spear hatchet exploiting every weakness WITH GRIT.
Send the musket squad to deal with the assassin squad. 
5 Muskets screaming Desu in voice comms. Soon after 5 shots go off at the same time. 
You have no idea how much i want to see a full 50 v 50 musket line war. full blown civil war reenactment.
only thing missing is a drummer weapon option.
“Pure stat clowns”
What else am I supposed to run on focus you fucking retard?
Holy shit you are one of the dumbest posters on this board.
Constitution? If you run nothing else, this change doesn’t effect you.
Has it been explicitly stated its a NET increase?
Because right now at certain thresholds of GS split stat items get less. For instance From 547-599 GS 2 stat items only have 23 stats as they are 14/9. While single stat items are +24 from 578-599.
This has always hurt split stat items, of course largely prior to umbral shards existing. The benefit is they also got their 600+ +1 stat earlier than single stats.
But that -2 stats very much so hurt reasons to use split gear prior to umbral shards. When they said they were increasing stats from this I just assumed they were fixing the parity between these.
There is little reason to give split stat items more overall stats.
Constitution doesn’t get effected by this change.
Well aware Constitution isn’t affected. As i said, if you are a primary stat build (focus/con) you aren’t going to be overly concerned with these changes. Especially healers.
The reasoning behind it is to allow more constitution threshold abilities be availible for multi attribute builds, or 300 builds to be semi viable. A small increment of damage is only there because it’s the end result of the suspected 20 additional points. Ultimately, the damage is meaningless. In some builds you won’t ever notice it. It’s a fair trade, being only 2%
It’s the internet. If you judge the validity of discussions based on people using proper punctuation then it’s likely you’ve rejected far more intelligent lines of reasoning than you’ve accepted.
Of all the reasons to attempt to invalidate someone’s position this is - without a doubt - one of the most nonsensical.
PS…
…reiterate is one word.
Mate, i couldn’t understand a word they had wtitten. My intent wasn’t to offend, it was understand what was said.
@estiben.urrea apologies if i’ve offended by suggesting your grammer or punctuarion was poor. You must understand though, it’s a struggle to read your posts? Truthfully i just want to help you understand this change.
I was just scrolling down and i don’t understand this logic.
You assume It’s either broken and invalidates everyone’s current armor -OR- it’s useless and the patch is useless.
I propose that it’s probably designed to be somewhere in the middle, IE useful to hybrids and not useful to people using pure stats. With the design to open up addition builds that are currently not possible.
The two sides of that coin shouldn’t be only broken or useless, but that tells me a lot about where your mind is when it comes to changes.
He did specifically state that split stat items would give you numerically more stats to play with overall. But not allow you to have more of one single stat than you currently have.
that means more total points, but not more points to put in a single stat. They were careful when considering this change. In that way, single stat gear will remain superior to anyone unless they want to hybrid into another stat.
I hope it allows a neat variety of builds that are currently without representation.
with 10 item split stat = +50stats…(+5/item 625)
We know this now.
