<DIV>I am sure that this is covered somewhere, but for the life of me I cannot seem to find it.  I want to compare items for upgrades, but it becomes complicated for me when I am not sure of the math.  Let me explain.  If I find an item that gives +10 WIS and only +5 power, is that a better overall item than one that gives +5 WIS and +25 power?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I have tried equipping and unequipping items to get a sense of it, but what I really need to know is what the ratio is.  Having said that here are my questions:</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>How many points of POWER do I get for each point of WIS?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Is there a max per level benefit of one or the other?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Does the ratio change with level?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>What role if any does INT play for Inquisitors?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I know that WIS can also be used for resists which makes it more useful than raw POWER.   Thanks in advance for any help.</DIV>

<P>Oo did I ask a taboo question or is the answer not known?</P> <P>Even a hint on how to get the info if I missed it would be helpful.</P>

Nah nothing taboo about it ... honestly not sure anyone has done any math to that effect though. I will try to do some baseline calcs though when I get home (at work) and try to give ya at least some help or get the ball rolling.

<P>Its a sliding scale.  I don't know exactly what the numbers are, but around the cap, you will see about 3 power for every point of wisdom you add.  In general you'll want to up wisdom first, then as you aproach the cap, look for power items as well.  An item with 24 wis and 125 power will be better than one with 26 wis and 100 power.</P> <P>I use the x3 multiplier as a rough guide and its never let me down.  If somethings close (like less than 5-10 power) I don't really base the decision on power, but rather other stats/resists/mitigation.</P> <P>Self buffed I think my power is around 5800.  Though I use things like 5 hour +wis/power food/drink which add a little more.  Without those I think I'm at like 5670.  I can check for sure when I get home.</P>
