[Common Sense] Statistics

[TheFreak]

Credit to Overload from MMOverload
Statistics and resistances. In every MMO each does something slightly different than the last. Strength, agility, willpower, each career has a set of statistics more important to them than another and it's important to know which are important to your career. Finding an item with +5 Willpower might not be that great for your Dwarf Engineer, but maybe it would be more useful for your Witchhunter. The purpose of the guide is to help guide to to the statistic and resistances that you'll find in WAR.

Strength

Increases your melee damage and makes it harder for enemies to parry or block your attacks.

Willpower

Increases your chances to disrupt hostile spells and increases all healing you do.

Toughness

Reduces the damage you take from all sources.

Wounds

Increases your maximum hitpoints.

Initiative

Increases your chance to dodge ranged attacks and makes it more difficult for enemies to critically hit you.

Weapon

Increases your chances to parry melee attacks and allows your melee attacks to bypass a portion of the enemy's armor.

Ballistic

Increases your ranged damage and makes it harder for your enemies to block or dodge your ranged attacks.

Intelligence

Increases your magical damage and makes it harder for enemies to disrupt or block your attacks.

What exactly does this tell us, that the game wouldn't if we hover the mouse over the stat?

Claes,

It's content that players may not realize. If they find it helpful then good but if it isn't helpful then they can ignore it like most have already done.
