This was suggested before but for other reasons... What if the Con stat rise the Defense? After all, other stats modify more than one thing, and the Con, a so important stat, only give HP and HP Recovery.

It could go like this:

5 Con gives 1 short/long range defense. That way, with 500 Con, someone could have 100 extra short/long range defense: not too much but better than nothing.

With this, the classes with low defense could stand a little more against the ranged classes. Like someone said, dont take things from the game, add new things to balance it.

i never understood why constitution didn't give defense and resistance...

so, con could give as u said 1 def for 5 con, 0.01 resist all for 1 con, so, with 1000 con it would give 10% resist and 200 def, and prots could do something in pvp^^

Yes, that could be too, melees have too low natural resistances and dont rise much because their items dont have int. Maybe it could be:

1 con give 0.5 defense: this way 500 con would give 250 defense, that if we think about it, isnt that big amount. If is too much, then make it 1 con = 0.2 defense as i said before. And get 1% or 2% to all resistances per 100 con could be a good idea.

Would be cool and sounds interesting to me

But imagine this: All players with High CON will become then kinda stonish cause of the def of em'
with that way even some classes who have low Def can reach the 2.6k DEF if you calc

lol i dont think so, that means that you would have to have around3k+ CON b/c lets face it most characeters armor does not give that much defense to begin with.

shhh the thread opener is a caster ... well if CON = DEF than: HP = HP and MIND = MP
That way you will experience a lack of HP. So what i guess is this:



Current CON/HP of classes will get recalculated to HP

CON will be added to your Current Defense


That way you do not lose HP but u get your def topped up

Overall a cool idea, although I find the proposal for increased resistances even more useful. Protectors and Commanders can have ultra high CON, yet they probably already have HUGE def, so another 200-300 wont really do them much good. However... the extra 10-20& resistance, in fact ANY increase, would be a very welcome addition, since the Defender class is general has horribly low resistances. Mmm, with 1300 CON that would be a yummy increase indeed ...

[Nadesh]

Well, the suggestion was directed mainly to mages and melee classes with low defense. The defense bonus wouldnt make a big improvement in the Defender's defense, but could help warriors and could help all mages. For mages 100-200 extra defense is a big thing, over all when we talk about long range defense.

[Confused]

How much defense does an end game caster usually have?

[Nadesh]

Depending on the set and buffs, but without the buff, without the svs ornament and with the s2 sets, it dont reach the 500 defense.
