Reading this topic I reminded myself about something I have already thought.
My question is simple: would it be overpowered if we had some additional max life from vitality?
I can't hide that I'd love to have something like this, but my judgement on games balance was never good
There is only one thing I don't like about it: game would be again easier. What is good, that some vitality items would be worth more and that would be end of some items called "failed".
So, let me know how you think.

I wouldn't mind it at all, vitality has always seemed underated. Perhaps this might change it a bit.

[Yes].

Vit stat should only effect defense like it does now. If it were up to me I'd change a ton of stuff in this game, but vit wouldnt be one of them.

im thinking that vit giving def bonus is fine
if it worked like stated bit

then say 35 vit on a 45 dag would be severely OP'd

[x] no

Yes = No here

But since another guy is "against" and voted no, then it's equal

Guys, read my poll question carefully

Lol yes

No this doesen't make sense since we already have a max life stat.

Increasing the defense bonus would be more viable.

hmmm, I'm not sure so I'm not going to vote yet.

If that were to happen, seems like people "could" have extremely high life (along with using +max life mods on their gear)

Although I do agree the int/vit stats that spawn on items (for the most part) seem to be wasted.
...but then again the same could be said for some other items.

example:

a magical lvl 15 sword drops with +27 Vit. (not very useful to equip and use)
a magical lvl 15 sword drops with +27 dex (again, not very useful to equip and use)
...I guess it just depends on which item it spawns on. Not every single drop should be a good or godly one. Sometimes you're lucky, sometimes not.

but then you have to look about all those "fails" that could be used in a different way (glyphing them) which kind of makes them useful in different way.
...but then not everyone spends the time (or has the time to spend) raising skilling profs if they actually want to "play" the game.
...but then again people have different opinions of "playing" the game...whether it's skilling for prof, Leveling up and MQing to climb the ladder, or maybe a mixture of both.

Also since you're addressing vit, what about int? should the same be applied (gives more mana?)

maybe I went a little off topic, so I'll stop here.

I think the stat names being a bit misleading are the only problem, and a very minor one at that.

I wouldnt be against reworking the names for hard points and stats found on armors, but then again I dont have a problem with them staying the same either.

This! nn more life. Higher defensive perks would be quite pleasurable.
