It is all about iq^^. Melee spells have lots of weapon damage buff while range ones a few. Look at the big picture, Catcha? Catch the point of survivability in this?

Again this is not related to physique. You are simplifying the issue.

Can you comprehend the connection ?

Yes and being condescending does not validate your argument. Weapon builds without a doubt have superior defense. This is not due to attributes though. This is due to the greater versatility that weapon-based skills offer. If you want to complain about something then at least identify the correct target.

I think you are doing the same mistake many players do: you might believe that this game is for single player. I dont think that is the way the developers are approaching. I believe that they are planing this game to be a team game. They want people to play together because that is how an online game reaches success. That is why, items mostly offer either offense or defense, not both.

it definitely is first and foremost a SP game, Crate also always said that and treated it this way

Also most items I have offer both (uniques), for any other it is a matter of affixes and one item can have both an offensive and defensive affix, some affixes might also not clearly fall on either side, so I see no evidence of your view in the gear.

You always defend the game no matter what. Your opinion is never considered because you are an as$hair of Crate company. It is like you would defend the company even they kill your family. And you are so fanatic that you can’t accept what i say.

Pointing out that Physique does not increase melee DPS is making me a Crate fanatic ? Get your facts straight before you make more BS claims, then I would not always have to correct the nonsense you are posting…

[mamba]

His way of saying is wrong. Not the info he gives. If there is a post about complaining about game, his arguments always try to bash. I can’t consider him.

so telling you that you are wrong when in fact you are wrong is bashing you and making me a fanatic, got it

Clearly you never bash anyone in any of your posts :rolleyes:

way worse than whatever bashing supposedly happened in my post… hypocrite much ?

Holy shit guys you have the patience and tolerance of a saint. This Serimert guy is batshit crazy. Hello my ban :D, I could say “I never asked for this” (hehe get it?) but that wouldnt be true, I had to say it.

[mamba]

Yes it is, many melee spells include %weapon damage which can be converted to health by devotions or skills etc. So more dps = more survivability. but not with casters at least directly^^

that still does not make Physique boost DPS, like you claimed

Many caster spells also have life-leech without weapon%, so you still have your survivability

Just to help clarify things, because nobody actually said it explicitely.

Physique does not increase Physical Damage or %weapon dmg.
Cunning increases Physical damage.

Actually, I don’t understand, why some people always claim that Physique is inceasing Damage. A simple mouseover should solve that. This thread reminds me of pretty much the same discussion the other day in the Classes subforum.

Unless I missed something :

Physique does not grant any damage so I fail to understand how weapon builds are gaining in DPS over casters by investing in physique.

Physique does not increase DPS / damage for casters or meleers, so your premise is false which makes the rest / conclusions false as well

You are conflating weapon damage with physique, which are unrelated. Casters and Weapon builds benefit exactly the same from physique investment.

[jackx]

Any “damage increase” would be due to the increased survivability allowing for a more continuous application of damage while taking damage, i.e. “face-tanking”.

Casters should generally be able to kite with lower effective dps loss…

Face-tanking is going to be more effective (due to less input effort required) when all you care about is maximum clearspeed, but that’s not the only way to have fun with the game.

He simply decided to abandon objectivity as he was unable to link his conclusion with his argument rather than attempting to reconsider his own argument. The irony in insulting someone else’s intelligence I suppose.
