Question about stats

[xblade724]

So can someone refresh my memory? What stats actually effect you at lower lvls that you can notice? Strength doesn't seem to do anything. For instance, I don't see a difference at all when singing a strength song or have a strength buff with one handed weapons. I do the same max dmg no matter how much strength I seem to have.

I'm a bard, so let's talk about bardic stats.

ask on the blue forums they are more likely to help

Ya, because we don't give a shit about your stoopid stats.

If you really think that STR does nothing, you're not even trying to look for a difference. Not even trying.

stats in eq have always been pretty trivial in their actual effect, your crappy low level bard buff might have a tiny tiny dps increase but its probably more like a dpm or dph effect.


that said this is an emu so who knows what any of the stats do.

I have played a Shaman both live and on here. And I can buff the hell out of one and it really is a pretty small difference. Yeah you get a few more hit points, maybe with Agi get hit a little bit less but no big deal in the long run. I gave up buffing people to heck a long time ago.

Strength helps from being emcumbered dropping your Agi but that is about it.
And having 150 strength on a Ogre Warrior and 50 on a necro is not the only reason a Warrior can take hits. It is game mechanics that do that. Because you can buff a Necro up to 150 strength and they still get the crap beat out of them.

But it all does make a SMALL difference. Which can mean living or dying I guess. Nobody is going to turn them dowm lol.

Now AC that does help.

I have a 12 Pally and a 11 Bard on the blue sever. I can use almost every bit of gear on both of them. Weapons and all. Not 2 hander on Bard. But the Pally can Tank like hell and the Bard is a total piece of crap at tanking even with haste song. I swap out the gear on them a lot. Their total stats are not that much off. Pally is better overall but not by a ton. Like I said it is game mechanics.

i put all my points in charisma so i dont even know sorry dude :(

Stamina- hit points, Charisma--charming classes, Int/Wis--mana, AGI- AC. those are the mains ones. Dex/STR don't really apply until 20+

[xblade724]

For instance I just got two +2 sta earrings, i only gained +2 hp ... so 1 sta = 0.5 hp @ lvl 9. Seems broken to me?

Stamina gains on casters are terrible. Better off with straight HP gear.
