Hello all, this suggestion is for something I've found a bit underwhelming.
I enjoy the itemization and stat boosts that each item has. +1 health or +2 coordination is great; but it falls flat on a character with 1000+ in each stat.
A bit of math, my character is level 25, I have 1000 in each stat. Lev 25~26 gear has 7~8 stats. Assuming you have all gear slotted (6 slots) and at 25, this is 56 stats. Again, underwhelming. There's arguably not enough there to justify it as specialization.
SUGGESTION:
Replace raw stat increases with additively stacking stat multipliers. Convert the values into intervals of +0.25%.
With this said, the 7~8 stats would become +1.75% or +2% to each individual stat. That means that specialization has occurred without creating any real game imbalance; and you've actually created meaningful decisions.
Instead of "higher level red is better", you're now concerned about losing 2.5% health for 2.5% accuracy and are now champing at the bit about the choice.
As long as values don't meteorically expand (don't go slapping +25% or +50% on a piece of gear), this system should scale acceptably without destroying the current meta.
Thanks!
