Stats/Attributes

[Ryuushin]

I never really knew what thet stats/attributes meant so i did research and maybe this will help others in understanding them also. Would also be a good place to talk about which stats we should focus on for which class.

For some reason, the stats are listed differently for some people >< I know for me I had concentration and will instead of intelligence or knowledge.

Basic stats:

POWER/STRENGTH: affects physical damage

HEALTH/HP/CONSTITUTION: character’s basic hit points and hit point recovery. You are always regenerating HP in and out of combat though it gets to be very slow the more HP you have.

AGILITY: affects evasion, parry and blocking enemy attacks

ACCURACY: this is a given but affects physical only. It's said to be critical chance also. EDIT: According to my research, yes it's needed when your opponent has high block/parry.

REFERENCE: http://www.aionsource.com/forum/mech...-progress.html

KNOWLEDGE/CONCENTRATION/INTELLIGENCE: magic attack power and spell accuracy?

WILL: character's basic mana points and MP recovery.

Armor/Defensive stats:
Most of these are pretty straightforward.

PHYSICAL DEFENSE: physical defense.. given

EVASION: character's ability to dodge attacks

BLOCK: requires shield.

PARRY: blocking attacks with your weapon.

MAGICAL RESISTANCE: allows you to avoid debuffs or resist spells. This also breaks down into 4 elemental resistances: fire, water, earth, wind.

Weapon/Offensive stats:

ATTACK: I believe this is different from your weapon's "base" DMG. Attack affects attacks as well as skills.

ACCURACY: this is straightforward.

CRITICAL RATE: some weapons have higher crit rate than others.. depending on the weapon.

Everything else includes:

ATTACK SPEED: this is straightforward.

SPEED: running speed.

MAGIC BOOST: affects spell damage

MAGIC ACCURACY: spell's accuracy. This should be checked against target's resistance.

As for beta playing, I was mixing in magic boost manastones and HP because Sorcerer's HP is incredibly low..

All right, this thread was needed.

I was fighting an Asmo Templar the last night of the beta with my Gladiator, ALL he did was Block and Parry, is there any way to help counter this? I "assume" he had quite a bit of Block/Parry gear with Manastones socketed in them, but can't check obviously. Ways to help counter this? Will Acc be needed for Assassin/Ranger's? I rarely feel the need to socket stuff with Acc+ stones, while fighting monsters you rarely if ever miss unless they're extremely high above your level or you have a blind effect/debuff on you.

From talking with some of the level 45 players on CAion is that accuracy is mainly a PvP stat as no one gems it for PvE and hits everything but in PvP is where the problem is.

Not sure if hit counters parry or block would be something good to know....

[Ryuushin]

I edited the main post but I did double checking and accuracy is checked against your opponent's parry/block.

Where did you find that?

Not to be pointing fingers but a few people I talked to says it doesn't and it would be nice to have a reliable post about all this.

Not saying its not legit but info on forums is taken with a grain of salt by a lot of people you know what I mean...

I would love to know too, felt like I was doing next to nothing to that Templar lol. Although, how much does level difference effect PvP?

It also could have been he was MUCH higher then you also, since you were only 22 and level cap was 30 this beta.

How was his damage against you?

[Kerberoz]

What exactly does "concentration" do and how the fuck do you land debuffs on pcs? Is it just impossible if they're a single level above you, or what? Been killed so many times by derp-derp melees because none of my shit lands.

Concentration = Spell Interrupt Down


The more you have, the less likely you are to be interrupted.

Took him a good 2~ minutes to kill me, I took him down to about 60% before he finally killed me, ;_;

Yea he was a badly built Templar then around the same level maybe a level or two higher then you. A Critlar can actually take out a gladi so fast your head would spin. I've done it. lol
