Yoda Gear 12 confusion

Yoda requires a Mk 12 ArmaTek Holo Lens, which gives him +40 agility(which increases physical crit rating), +100 physical damage, and +85 physical crit chance.

Which is weird, because none of his abilities deal physical damage.

Meaning that out of the 5 stat boosts this piece of gear grants, he only truly benefits from two of them. The agility bonus adds to his armor, but that's it. At least if they gave him Str instead, he would get health and armor.

Would it have been too OP for him to have a piece of gear that instead granted special damage/crit chance?

I feel bad for you having just found this.
I realized it a long time ago & it annoys the heck out of me. Ignorance is bliss in this case.

I've held characters back from gear items because I'm annoyed at having to put a 100 piece combine item that gives TACTICS to a TANK. (I go looking for a Support/Healer to give it too instead)

And while you can argue that giving the Tank a STR item would have lead to him being too powerful of a tank.
And I agree w/ character balance that is an issue.

The part where the ARE completely ****** the players to make money is when they stick that 100 piece gold combine item on the Tank instead of being nice & just making you use some lower tier Green item with +5 to all stats that would have been a pretty low boost & not make you take that 36 Tactics item away from a Support/Healer that could have used it.

Its not like we wouldn't have 100 piece combines still, just less of them & used appropriately.
They would still get spenders to make them items, you'd just see a little more reward for spending your hard earned cash.
