Okay, so most of us realise by now that VIT is far and away the best stat for PvP. This leads to alot of tank accounts and little variance in game-play styles. VIT Increases HP, HP regen, Knockback resistance, and Defense. My suggestion is taking HP regen out of the VIT stat and putting it into the INT stat. Then, for every 3 int you have, you gain 1 HP regen/tick. Here are some Pros and Cons I can think of...
PROS-
- Tank players will not be able to sit back and heal
- Encourages more activity in PvP instead of sitting
- Balances INT out a little with other stats
- Allows for weapons that use more stamina to be implemented
CONS-
- A stat reset would be in order
- Weapon's stam usage would probably also have to be turned up to help balance out the larger amount of stam players would have.
I realise that INT was initially going to be balanced out with the implementation of skills, but that never happened and I assume never will. I think this is a good alternative to help balance stats out.
I agree. Also, how is a stat reset a con?

Probably because Meiun wouldn't do it.

i think this would also have to do a complete hat remake, like the DH, the wizard, the top hat, skelly, all those kind of hats.
A hat remake isn't necessary, I think. There are such a large variety of hats that people would just be wearing different ones. Perhaps the wizard would be a bit too good for fighting monsters, But that's just one case I can think of where a hat might need changed. And as my suggestion for that, take it out of the shop. Then the wizard will be a decent hat as a fairly uncommon drop. I see no reason for DH to be redone, or skelly for that matter. I still think Top Hat would be fine too.
No. This doesn't make sense. This is not the answer to how to balance Vit and Int. The reason Vit and Int increase the regen of HP and Stam (respectively) is because they also increase your max HP and stam (respectively). If Vit increased your max HP, but didn't increase your HP regen, at higher vit levels it would almost be worthless because you would have to sit and regen for such a long time.
I don't think this will achieve the balance that we want. For one thing, it will only affect how HP regens meaning people with high vit still has the same max HP and damage reduction. Sitting during a pvp battle is probably the least effective way to win a fight (if your opponent is smart they won't let you get more than one tick of regen which won't really affect the outcome of a fight) So in essence, all you're doing is adding down time to grinding because you have to sit for longer to get your hp back up to full.
My opinion is that defense should be altered in some way. Vit's effectiveness to max HP was already nerfed, so the only other place to go to make Vit less usefull would be damage reduction. But, to be honest, I don't think vit should really be nerfed at all.
It could also work with INT taking over defense, too in fact, that'd probably be better.
I agree with lingus
