Defense/Evasion/Magic defense with new patch

[GoldenCross]

So if nobody is going high dex anymore and allocating their stats to high str and con, evasion isn’t a thing anymore and people won’t have to worry about accuracy. Wouldn’t block become the new meta? Pelt and hoplite seems to be buffed a lot from this. People would have to pick up dex for block penetration

Also, how important is armor break in the new patch? Is it more or less important than before?

Also if many more armor pieces are going to have mdef, wouldn’t Nuaele cards become even more valuable? Considering also that Spr doesn’t give mdef anymore

[redwea]

Nobody? I’m going dex for certain build. What are you talking about? Speculating? Assuming?

[tomredwait]

i guess if you’re a shield swordsman… you get 5 times your level from the block stance so i think this’d just make your normal block rate actually useful, assuming you use con and block gear.

[leleconildo]

You won’t get def/mdef to a point that makes you receive 1 damage. Now you only need enough so HP Rec sustains the damage you take.

Evasion in general is greatly nerfed,even Full Dex builds are getting hit a lot.

In a sense Nuales aren’t that necessary anymore.

If anything this patch made GlassMole/Chappa and the +10 stat cards way stronger.

[GoldenCross]

But if u have 8 nuaeles it would be op right? since it’s percentage based and u get so much more mdef from gear

stat cards are still worth it? i thought ellaganos cards would be worth a lot less after this patch…

[tomredwait]

it seems like the more defence you have past a certain point the less each additional amount adds. the cards are more useful if the top m.def you can get from gear still isn’t enough.

probably a few will be good, but not a whole set.

[Remiri]

DEX will still be valuable for classes that are auto-attack heavy like QS or Chaplain.

Since it will tie to some skills, it is just a matter of seeing which skills it helps.
