What kind of stats would you have?
JOE:
- One main stat for each class. Crit, Crit multiplier, Three mitigation stats – Blocking, Absorbing, Dodging, Uplift (aka Power or Mastery), Haste, plus several hidden stats to track gear score, combinations of stats, etc. for back-end analytics. NO hit. NO PvP-specific stat. (All gear levels will available in PvP and PvE – the best of the best gets the best)
DREW:
- Main stat for each class or ONE master stat…
- No accuracy
- No avoidance
- Mitigation is okay
- PvP stat that interacts with a bolster mechanic in Battlegrounds
- Crit and crit multiplier
