<DIV>Hold on, this is a help request, not a guide.</DIV> <DIV>Perfect is in the sense of most well-rounded for the various circumstances, which include:</DIV> <DIV> - soloing</DIV> <DIV> - tanking</DIV> <DIV> - group utility/dps</DIV> <DIV> - raid</DIV> <DIV>and everything else this game can lead to.</DIV> <DIV>I have my own idea about the AA lines, which is:</DIV> <DIV>WIS 4 4 8 8 8</DIV> <DIV>STR 4 5 4 or 4 4 5</DIV> <DIV>We can discuss this, but my concern right now is about Equipment and stats.</DIV> <DIV>I noticed looking at my Persona Window, that my STR is higher than my AGI, not by much, but higher nonetheless.</DIV> <DIV>While this is good for dps, it is bad for tanking, as AGI adds to avoidance.</DIV> <DIV>This drives me towards AGI gear.</DIV> <DIV>But the thing that absolutely upsets me is that my INT is ... 17!</DIV> <DIV>Ok, perhaps not the most important of the stats, but I wonder if it may influences the dmg of poisons and/or CAs.</DIV> <DIV>To get better INT though, I should change to Melodic Xegonite (that is until I find good legendary gear), thus losing STA, which is also important for tanking.</DIV> <DIV>What do you say: to achieve the optimum balance it would be good to decrease STA and increase INT?</DIV> <DIV>Or I should leve it the way it is now?</DIV> <DIV>Thanks to all.</DIV>

<DIV>Int does increase the damage from poisons and magical procs. That's it though.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>If you will be soloing and tanking or raiding, get your STA up. HP is more important then the tiny amounts of damage boosts you can get from INT.</DIV> <DIV>STR, STA, AGI, INT/WIS is roughly the priority.</DIV>
