I have long been considering doing a stat rewrite for synergies.  I already have wolpaks stat alterations from back before guts in the mod.  And while I like where it went, I think we could do a better job with the experience of time we have gained since then.

I was talking to RNF today about how he is working on moving crit chance off of dexterity and adding ranged weapon damage instead, and I was commenting how at end game synergies Strength adding Critical damage bonus is excessively op'n damage outputs when coupled with end game gear, socketables and soulcrafting options.

As well as following my own testing with diminishing returns.


I came up with the idea that if a few modders are making stat changes to their mods, myself included, maybe we can come to some consensus and do the same changes between our mods, or at least close to, so people using combination of mods only get smaller alterations per mod. 

I am not thinking everyone will agree on something as subjective of this topic.  But we can look at what runic has, and see if we can make some universal upgrades for those who want them, and help each other make more personal upgrades as needed.


What do you guys think? 

I totally concur.  It would be excellent to have a new foundation for TL2 mechanics.  I think RnF and I both want to fix the few things that are wrong with the Vanilla TL2 system.  I also think we both realize that once you have the stats done, you're going to have to fix the flaws in the itemization as well.  Last step might be to balance monsters and then player skills.

You should take a look at what we've done with the stats so far and what RnF has planned for items here.

You have a lot more experience balancing high-level content than we do and I'd be glad to have your input on this.
