Stat Changes
by suuka17 » Wed Feb 08, 2012 8:31 pm
Opening this up to discussion the stat changes will completely change what stats to get. As I understand it Faith now deals with mana and mana regen and Wisdom augments spell power or magic damage, I do not know what happens to Int. Thoughts from my fellow psi's?

Faith no longer determines the effectiveness of healing effects. Instead, Faith now affects the mana and mana regeneration rate. Faith is now found only on weapons.
Perception now plays Faith's function in healing, and also affects the damage dealt by spells.
Wisdom now affects healing and the character's spell power. It is analogous to Finesse for classes dealing physical damage.
Agility now decreases magical damage received in addition to physical avoidance.
It doesn't say whether Faith is solely responsible for the mana pool, but it seems that it is tied purely to the quality of your weapon. I guess we can't worry about this one, only look for the best gear in this/these slot(s)
The changes to agility could place more stress on perception in stat balancing- particularly against scouts, warriors, wardens and some bards/paladins in pvp.
Changing faith seems like a good thing- it was obsolete as a stat for 6.5/8 archetypes.
Most classes (excluding full healers) have to balance 4 offensive stats:
strength, expertise, finesse, luck
intelligence, perception, wisdom, luck
No mention of whether intelligence is done away with, perhaps wisdom is an additional boost alongside int. Does the description for wisdom refer to caster classes that use physical damage, or will it be a version of finesse for all spell types?
We'll have to see

physical: armour for reduction, str for increase, finesse for armour penetration of target,expertise for accuracy
magical: agility for armour, int for increase, wisdom for magic armour penetration, perception for accuracy
faith comes on weapons and gives you a set amount of mp and regen. you will see weapons with 500+ wisdom on them.
