He is clearly intelligent but his apparent inability to think abstractly gets in the way of meaningful discourse. Toss in a pinch of narcissism and it’s a pretty ugly combination. Pretty sure if he sat himself down in front of a neuropsychologist he would walk away with a diagnosis of level 1 (high functioning) autism with mildly above average intelligence and impairments in social functioning skills and abstract reasoning.

You have an unhealthy obsession with tryng to find autistic people so you can make fun of them. It is a really bad look. Why do you think this makes you look good, or proves you are correct? It does neither.

I mean that's true. I just think it's irrelevant if he does have it, because clearly that isn't the psychological flaw we should be mocking and condemning him for.

Sugar-bear, it just helps us understand you better.

My personal opinion here is that I would put it into STA, unless you're going Dark Elf and Iksar perhaps.

Putting it into INT is a waste, though. An SK, through the overwhelming majority of its playtime, does not live or die because they didn't strive to max out INT and mana. Makes a bit more sense for a Paladin to put points into WIS by comparison, since they make more extensive use of their mana by healing.

I'd honestly think putting the points into DEX would be less of a waste.

You can raise dex by over 370 with buffs so this is a waste. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

After some consideration I have decided the best stat is int so you can shame shamans for not having their PE hammer when you try to grasp those last few points of sta you are missing while raid buffed.

.Debuffs are much more dangerous for your other buffs, not STR buffs. Losing haste is a much bigger deal for your DPS. If someone needs a STR buff to run back to a vendor, it is unlikely they are getting dispelled.

You can’t put starting stats into haste. Kinda irrelevant to the discussion.

Losing str to debuff is also about tanking.

Incapacitate removes maybe 50 str from removing a buff, removes 50 for the debuff, lowers agi by 50 too.

If you are overweight by 20 before this spell lands you’ll be fucked and your avoidance is wrecked (not the end of the world if a mage cast DS on you!). Likely barely move too (even worse if a shaman helpfully(!) tosses a torpor).

By stating and gearing strength you aren’t relying on that 50 buff str so incapacitate doesn’t hit anywhere near as bad.

Spending too long in solb/kc/seb is a big part of why i like str. I’ve grown to hate the incapacitate/cripple line on toons relying on str buffs.

I didn't say anything about 140 STR squelching AC lol. I said that the DPS increase from +20 STR based on the data thus far is not significant enough for players to notice. Please read more carefully and stop making these wild claims about what other people say. It just causes more confusion.

If str isn’t adding determinable improvements then surely that means you’ve soft capped it for that mob’s mitigation? It is the same thing.

Edit: also i bet int wouldn’t have a determinable differnce (you know, if your iksar was a greenmist sk).

Can you show the formula you are using to make this assumption? If not, you are just guessing at the mechanics.

If you know the mechanics so well, it should be trival to provide the formulas and plug in the data from the logs + videos I provided here: https://www.project1999.com/forums/s...&postcount=300

Install gamparse and look at hit distribution patterns. Look up old steel warrior threads (if they still exist) by yoda iirc.

No. You need to show us why you keep insisting you are right, when you have no evidence to back it up. You cannot ask other people to provide evidence for your own claims.

If you think you know the formulas so well, please provide them and plug in the data from my previous post: https://www.project1999.com/forums/s...&postcount=300

If and when you find those old thesteelwarrior threads - I’m Bedavir. Yoda and I did some pretty epic investigations into hp vs ac. I was fairly active on the SK forums alongside Brael as well.

To my knowledge, TSW website no longer exists. RIP
