Dev Diary - New Stat Updates for Isengard - By: Ken "Graalx2" Burd

Caps

Stat caps are a thing of the past. Well mostly, while it may still be possible (barely) to reach a cap it will take a major effort in choosing your equipped items. I always died just a little bit whenever I read on the forums that this trait or that skill is useless because the player was already capped in whatever. Hopefully these changes will allow the players to get full value from all of their skills, traits and equipment.

The caps on Primary characteristics, Might, Agility, Vitality, Will and Fate are completely removed. The caps on Block, Parry, Evade, Incoming Healing and Critical Hit ratings have been increased to 25%. The caps on Offences, Outgoing Healing and Resistance ratings have been increased to 50%. The relaxation of the ratings based caps starts at level 50.
Stat Percentage Previously
Block 25% 15%
Parry 25% 15%
Evade 25% 15%
Incoming Healing 25% 15%
Melee,Ranged,Tactical Offence 50% 30%
Resistance 50% 30%
Outgoing Healing 50% 30%



One thing to be aware of though, is that the diminishing returns built into the formula the converts ratings to percentage will start to be much more noticeable as the ratings increase. While it takes 4550 ratings to reach +15% at level 65 it will take 8850 to reach 25%.

New Stat – Finesse

For all of those players who think the random number generator has it out for them this is the stat for you. Finesse is a ratings-based stat that will directly reduce the Resistance of monsters as well as their Block/Parry/Evade ratings. This stat will appear primarily on instance/raid/pvmp loot but there will be a few pieces available with Finesse from quests and crafting.

This new stat is a two sided weapon because monsters will have access to it also. Most landscape monsters won’t have much if any Finesse but expect high difficulty instance/raid Boss monsters to have quite a bit.

Stat Consolidation

These changes are being made to make items with these bonuses more useful to more classes.

Resistance – this stat will replace the various resistance ratings to specific types Fear, Disease, Poison and Wound. Effects will still have a specific resistance type because some skills will modify a specific resistance but in general, you will use your Resistance stat as your base chance to resist an effect.

Tactical Mitigation – this stat will replace the various mitigation types used for tactical skills, Fire, Lightning, Frost, Acid and Shadow. Damage will still have a damage type because some skills will modify a specific mitigation but in general, you will mitigate tactical damage using your Tactical Mitigation stat.

Critical Hit Rating – will replace the separate melee, ranged and tactical critical hit ratings previously appearing on items. Critical hit rating will enable all attacks to have an increased chance to critical hit.

New Primary Stat Contributions

We have finally decided to level the playing field for all classes as far as secondary characteristics go, we have deleted them all. No longer will there be any need to make petitions to get a Tactical Crit rating characteristic added to your class or complain that that other class gets more Parry rating from their characteristics than your class does. Instead we have increased the rating contributions from primary stats so that you will be able to have the ratings that you desire rather than the ones we gave you.

We have also changed the contribution to most class’s Offence ratings to use their primary stat * 10. This means that Lore-masters, Minstrels and Runekeepers will use Will to contribute to their Melee offence. Hunters will use Agility for their Melee offence and Guardians, Champions and Wardens will use Might for their Ranged offence ratings. The Captain’s offence ratings are unchanged.

Burglars are a special case. We decided to switch their primary offence rating to be based off of Agility rather than Might. We felt that this Agility focus more closely matched our vision for Burglars and would have minimal impact on current burglars as Agility was already highly desired. And yes all of you burglars out there, you will get 10 times your Agility contribution to Melee Offence.
