Legend only Combat Test PTR. Evil Sir Ver was updated to get the new coding. Players are able to get any class to test the new changes AE Staff are currently planning at /testinghub. Such stat changes are taken in effect for Evil Sir Ver:
- Parry and Resist were added to the game. Both work the same way, but parry is for physical attacks, and resist is for magical attacks. When you parry or resist an attack you reduce the damage done by an amount based on your parry/resist stat.
- Strength increases physical attack power, the amount of damage reduced by a parry, and for melee classes the amount of extra damage you get from a crit.
- Intelligence increases magical attack power, and reduces damage from a resist instead of a parry.
- Endurance still increases HP like before, but also reduces the incoming damage from all attacks. The higher your endurance the less damage you take from attacks.
- Dexterity and Wisdom are largely the same, except Dex works for melees and Wis for mages. These stats increase dodge, hit chance, haste, and crit chance for their respective classes.
- Dexterity increases parry chance, and Wisdom increases resist chance.
Wisdom has one more effect - increasing all healing output. The goal here is to make Wis a healing stat.
- Luck has been significantly changed. Luck now has a very small effect on hit chance, dodge, and crit chance for most classes.
- Luck has a major effect on Luck-based classes: Cardclasher, Leprechaun, and a few others. (Luck enhancements are designed to work best this those classes. Mages and Fighters will want to use Strength or Int from here on out.)
