Stats

[Lissa]

So unless I'm missing something obvious, VIT is always, by far, the best defensive stat and DEX is the worst, by far. This seems odd to me that there is so much difference between the various stats. I suppose if you assume some leech adding in health return, then EH and DEX will look much better, but still DEX doesn't seem to be able to hold up to EH at all. Please check and correct, this can't be entirely correct.

This actually makes sense. Due to how diminishing returns works, the more Dex you stack, the less effective dodge you get (as noted, you show in the gradation that you get very little dodge as you add more in -- after 1k Dex, it takes 1k to increase dodge by 10%). Vit doesn't have diminishing returns, 1 Vit = 10 Health no matter if it's the first 10 points of Vit or if it's the 1010, each point of Vit is going to have the same weight. You can see this model in many, many games and it's why in most games where you have some kind of tanking class, the stat that offers you health is typically the highest priority stat with defensive stats (things that affect dodge, parrying, or blocking/absorbing) are then looked at. Ultimately, the more life you have, the more likely you are to last longer in a fight. All that needs to happen is the pRNG screw you once with a low life and high defense and you still will die where as a high amount of health will allow you to survive even when the pRNG screws you.
