+defense +offense

@EA_Jesse
did they list anywhere what exactly these buffs do? does +30 defense mean +30 armor or is it calculated diferently, or does it add 30 to all defensive states like evasion, resistance etc?? Does it reduce damage at a flat amount? also the same as offense, what stats does it increase exactly, its always listed as a % amount while defense is a flat amount.
  • Whoever thought it was okay to not explain what each thing does precisely needs their neck rung
  • Hey @shampoo , I am going to try and setup a Q&A with some team members here in the next week or so. This would be a great question to ask when I host that. Sorry I don't have an answer for you right now :(
  • ok thanks for the reply, looking forward to hearing their responses. right now im not totally convinced about displayed stats, especially that dodge stat lol.
  • I would definitely like to see a stickied Dev post that in depth explains stats, buffs, debuffs, and fly numbers. This game has many similarities to a MMO but we have no idea what anything really means.
  • I can help with some of that.

    I've tested damage and mitigation in every possible way with much collaboration. It's not as simple as Physical damage x ability level damage bonus - armor = Health Loss. In the recent patch notes there's apparently a hidden base damage field that is not show in-game. I suspect that number will be the way to stealth balance characters. We hope to have it figure out soon and include in the database.
