Crush Parry Chance: Defender's (Dex+Agi)/2 vs Attacker's Str
Crush Hit Chance: Attacker's (Str + Dex)/2 vs Defender's Agi

Slash Parry Chance: Defender's (Dex+Agi)/2 vs Attacker's Str
Slash Hit Chance: Attacker's Dex vs Defender's Agi
Slash Damage Curve: Attacker's Str vs Defender's AC

Pierce Block Chance: Defender's (Str+Agi)/2 vs Attacker's Dex
Pierce Parry Chance: Defender's (Dex+Agi)/2 vs Attacker's Dex
Pierce Hit Chance: Attacker's Dex vs Defender's Agi
Pierce Damage Curve: Attacker's (Str+Dex)/2 vs Defender's AC

NoWeap Block Chance: Defender's (Str+Agi)/2 vs Attacker's Cnc
NoWeap Parry Chance: Defender's (Dex+Agi)/2 vs Attacker's Agi
NoWeap Hit Chance: Attacker's Agi vs Defender's Agi
NoWeap Damage Curve: Attacker's Str vs Defender's AC

Ranged Block Chance: Defender's (Str+Agi)/2 vs Attacker's Cnc
Ranged Parry Chance: None
Ranged Hit Chance: Attacker's Dex vs Defender's (Agi+Cnt)/2
Ranged Damage Curve: Attacker's (Cnc+Int)/2 vs Defender's AC

Pet Block Chance: Defender's (Str+Agi)/2 vs Pet's Dex
Pet Parry Chance: Defender's (Dex+Agi)/2 vs Pet's Str
Pet Hit Chance: Pet's Dex vs Defender's Agi
Pet Damage Curve: Pet's Str vs Defender's AC

Kiting Chance: Defender's Agi vs Attacker's Agi

DD Block Chance: Defender's (Str+Agi)/2 vs Attacker's Cnc
DD Damage Curve: Attacker's Int vs Defender's AC and Cnt

Gem Resist Chance: Defender's Cnt vs Attacker's Cnc

Question about crush: do dex and str have same effect on accuracy or is that just saying they both affect it?

[Glitchless]

It's saying the effect is based on the two of them added together, so they have equal effect.

k thanks

After seeing this list second time in my mind came only one thing : there is a variety of epic and legendary items which gives you chance to hit, but there is no such items with things like chance to do full damage. There is something wrong here: either me is high atm or there is a lack of fairness between those 3 types of weaponry.

[brow]

Agreed with Marzus. From an offensive perspective, all crushers need is massive str, as it effects EVERY aspect, piercers just need dex as it effects EVERY aspect, however slash goes back and forth on str and dex. With slash you either sacrifice your hit chance for dmg, vice versa, or sacrifice both for it to even out. Seems like something of a disadvantage for slash. Maybe this is why Dice was added? (though that doesn't help whip users)

[concede]

keep in mind that str+dex for crush and pierce is divided by 2
where dex for hit chance on slash isn't

so for pierce or crush you have 800 str+dex/2 gives 400 to hit chance

the only thing that really would make it seem like slash may falter slightly is the damage curve, hit chance is right there along with the others if not slightly easier to obtain on slashing weapons

keep in mind that all stat points are logarithmic.

oh damn... I thought a little bit of STR would be needed to do full damage with piercers. Time to reset stats...

I mean what good is a dagger if there is no strength behind it? It won't pierce anything.

If a baby got a dagger he ain't killing nobody no matter how much dex he magically somehow has.

[Rath]

Piercers find the sweet spot. No strength required to get through that soft flesh you have.

[Fatcheeser]

There is also the simple fact that when you look at parries and defensive traits you need dex as well. A crusher who goes all strength will suffer with their defensive abilities. This is not necessarily true of a piercer although strength effects blocking (should they be pierce shield). I doubt anyone is going to throw a fit that piercers are Overpowered, the upgrade to dice has made slashers more popular and I do not see any balancing issues with the way things currently are.

You do realize that you just jinxed yourself? Now you will die from being stabbed in the eye by a toddler Oo
NEWAI!
Can i get some data on hard/soft stat caps in general and how they affect archers specifically? Since im pretty sure there is a soft cap on cnc starting at 600, how does it affect the combined calculations?

my best guess on this so called "soft cap" on stats that have a combined effect on 1 particular thing is you have 2 identical curves 1 for int and 1 for cnc it first takes your point on said curve and then averages the benefit from curve A with curve B

so say the plateau in the logarithmic function starts becoming obvious at about 600 of a stat (plateau is the observed "soft cap" while not really a soft cap due to formula remaining the same as stated by glitchy) if you have 800 of the stat youll get the bonus from the curve lets say at 600 it goes relatively linear on bonus and you get 600 bonus from 0-600 now at 800 you get a 700 bonus and then you have the other stat at 200 so you get the full 200 bonus from that the 2 average to get a bonus of 450 from the 2 stats while if you have 600 and 400 you average to get 500...this is why i theorize people actually do observe a difference when modifying stats as i just stated

note that all numbers in this are completely arbitrary due to me not knowing the actual formulas and i dont know if this is actually how it works or not its just my theory behind the equations but it would be nice for glitchy to confirm if it is or not

[Murdoc]

That unfortunately fits my observations and guesses pretty well. Thank you for the second opinion Pkp.
