New, help?

**Mohawkski** · 04-20-2012, 10:26 PM

I'm new to DL and I don't play PL or SL. I'm pretty active and love the game but I have one question...when it comes to stats what should I focus on? For example health or attack? Obviously your answers will be opinions of what you yourself prefer so if you let me know exactly why you prefer it I'd appreciate it. (:

I'm pretty new too but have looked into it. Attack adds to your health and damage, so it's kinda secondary. Pretty much always go for damage over attack. Health is just health and defense is much more important from what I've gathered. I think that the most important stat is defense followed by damage. Also, go to Lair and click Powers and turn off auto levelling so you can spend power points as you wish. I think the passive powers are important and auto levelling won't put points into one. I went with the defense one. Hope this helps some.

From what I have seen, 'go' health till you get in the areas with a lot of gun shooters. At that point switch to defense because you are going to take a lot of hits.

For PvE go with all offensive gear that focuses on your attacks.
For PvP, I am not expert but what I've seen is people max out their health and focus on defensive gear.

From a PVE standpoint with my current build, I usually equip items that give me the most dps and damage. If I am doing some of the later levels and I see myself using a lot of bloodpacks, I might switch to a weapon that gives me more health. But like FluffNStuff mentioned....I have noticed that higher defense does seem to help on levels where there are a lot of shooters.

Agree wth Doom, with a few additions.
Take into account that the skills u use also do or don't benefit at all from your stats. What I mean is that skills like Fire Aura , Vermin Swarm and Dark Binding dont get any bonuses from ur DMG Stats. These skills have a fixed DMG.
On the other hand skills like Leap, Ghost STrike, Fatal Burst and Hellblades ( and other skills ) DO get a bonus from ur DMG stats.
High defense is good against 'shooters', having lots of health is always helpfull to keep u alive, high DMG/DPS helps u kill quicker ( especially ) end bosses.
High defense gives u more added health than high Attack, but high ATT gives more DMG/DPS.

There is much more, but let me end wth pointing out that learning which skills to use against diifr enemies, and timing ur activation of skills is more effective than having high stats.
In general playing PVP or PVE means u want diffr stats and difr skills.

Don't let this guy fool yah with his "low" stats. You go play against him in the arena he won't be wearing that ecliptic gem (necklace) or that eternal shadow gem (purple bracelet). You will see him with the high attack crimson gem (red bracelet) and glacials. Also keep in mind when he took that photo he may not have a beast gem equipped and the necklace and crimson gem may not be a lvl 36 gem. Meaning he has multiple lvls of that gem to "lower" his stats. He's just a blessed out build with suicidal intentions once he has burnt that skill out.

*see contraventions photo of his toon above* aka kinghellish
