the current sustem seems to expect even stats for each weapon to make them even.

so the weapon doesnt matter as long as u have even stats. and exactly there is the mistake in thinking.

my idea for a solution:

named ratio for dmg and the invert of that ratio for crits!

so if a dagger says 1str/9dex u get 0.1 ee each str and 0.9 ee each dex for pure dmg. then it also says u get 0.1% crit chance from dex, but 0.9 % crit chance from str. (something like that)


also... did u notice: crits dealing the double of the rolled dmg at any time?



i think ur idea is just not solving the problem^^

This!

I made a ratio test on my pally with axes as well wich can be found here: (EDIT: post #42)
http://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=48556440&f=272

My results were exactly the same as hor_rahl's test: Ratio didnt matter at all.
Since Dexterity does not only increase damage done but also damage received (less severe crits), it is now overpowered. Daggers profit most from dex with an awesome rate of 0.9 "power" per Dex + they can be used by most classes overpowered as well.

I made a suggestion towards paul to make crits Player monster to be affected ONLY by Str and crits monster player to be affected ONLY by dex to even it out a little...the answer i got was rather disappointing. There will be no change concerning this matter, as sad as this is imo...

lol you should tihnk out suggestions before u suggest them
daggers arent the only weapons in the game, if str is used to block crits then clubs would be the most overpowered weapon if all these numbers are accurate

Learn to read.

To maybe make my suggestion more obvious

atm:
Str for stronger offensive crits (player monster according to ratio) + Damage according to ratio
Dex for stronger offensive crits (player monster according to ratio) + Damage according to ratio + less severe defensive crits (monster player)

my suggestion:
Str for stronger offensive crits (player monster according to ratio) + Damage according to ratio
Damage according to ratio + less severe defensive crits (monster player)

i NEVER wrote sth like str used to block crits. Str affects only damage done to monsters. Dex not only does the same, but also affects damage done by monsters. If you have a high dex, you are a better tank than if you only have a high str.

sorry bro i havent slept in a long time
i misread, still dont agree with your suggestion however
i think he just needs to fix the ratios so they work in a way that makes sense

np^^

Or we could just exploit the weaknesses in the system and go pure Dex&Dagger only

... we always exploit lacks in systems, thats human nature. guess why ppl were prof farming when it was possible to gain infinite prof points each mob? - answer: cuz it was possible!
ppl just decided to rather farm prof than climbing.
and now ppl decide to get huge dex for daggers and not even stats like the system expects^^

But still there is some confusion and ppl trying to match their stats according to their weapon ratio. So paul got his will at least partially

Either everyone that actually does understand this is not posting so they can gobble up your axes dirt cheap, or ...

Seriously, someone come to your senses and please set it straight. I'm tired of stating the obvious every time. (Here's a hint, I've already posted it myself at least 3 or 4 times)

In the meantime, quit panicking, because you're wrong about your conclusion. I will not point out why, but leave that to someone else.

We dont panick, and at least I dont sell my axe-Set
