What if STR gives WDEF?

Well, I think you've kinda got the right idea! However, warriors and buccs (the classes with str) are already the classes that don't really suffer as much from washing (though this is arguable for bucc because of pb touch)

 

I dont think Def for now make any significantly diference, but prob will do soon (kimmy told something bout def formula reword "https://forum.maplelegends.com/index.php?threads/maplelegends-2022-development-roadmap.45522/" here), but for now, its totally irrelevant imo :/

 

Yep like INT giving m.def haha. You do take a little less dmg but TBH all the tankyness of a mage comes from Magic Guard and welp Invincible if you are a Bishop.

 

what if strength gave avoidability?

 

What is we reverted the bucc avoid formula?

 

What if STR gave accuracy

 

I don't think we need new sources of DEF, just change the damage taken formula to remove the "expected DEF penalty" (as you increase your stats and level up, you are "expected" to have a certain DEF or else you take additional damage, which is really dumb) and change the base multiplier (which is currently DAMAGE - 0.5*DEF) to something like DAMAGE - 4.*DEF*(char_level/200)^0.4

I am using the exponent 0.4 because it leaves DEF relatively unchanged for low levels but becomes more useful at higher levels (we don't want level 30 characters taking 1 damage from everything just because they can afford 100% DEF scrolls). For example, a level 150 archer with 500 DEF would receive 1782 less damage from attacks, compared to the current formula which would reduce damage by less than 250 (less, because of the "expected DEF penalty" I mentioned) and would thus have enough HP to tank a HT hit without a single wash.

 

what if STR gives hands

 

Yeah the level-defense penalty should be removed, and if anything they should add a bonus if you reach the defense requirement instead

 

What if Wdef gave str?

 

KWAB

 

I don't think being tankier really matters for warrior counterparts since pots are just % based anyways. I could see WDEF mattering a bit more for DK thresholds, but would prefer a generic warrior based change over just helping out DKs zerk easier.

I hate the fact that I avoid jiaoceng from time to time and have to actually pay attention for misses while being under hp threshold. I find it weird that warriors dodge in the first place.
