Melee Critical Hit: Increases the chance of melee attacks landing as critical hits and dealing Max Damage. Critical Hit Rate increases 1% for every 10 Stats.
Offensive Stats:
Melee Critical Hit: Similar to Magic Critical Hit, this stat aims for high burst damage by increasing the chance of critical hits and maximizing their damage. Consider it for classes that rely on heavy melee hits.
Melee Heavy Attack Chance: This stat increases the chance of your heavy attack dealing double damage, rewarding well-timed heavy attacks in your rotation.
Defensive Stats:
Melee Defense: This stat directly reduces damage taken from melee attacks, offering consistent protection. It’s valuable for all melee characters facing physical attackers.
Melee Endurance: This stat combines evasion and damage reduction, providing a chance to completely dodge melee attacks and minimize damage taken when hit. It can be especially useful for tankier characters.
Melee Evasion: This stat purely focuses on dodging melee attacks, offering potentially high avoidance but potentially unreliable protection compared to consistent damage reduction.
Utility Stat:
Melee Hit: This stat improves the accuracy of normal melee attacks and increases the chance of applying crowd control effects with melee skills. It’s essential for classes that rely on landing their abilities to control the battlefield or secure kills.
Strategic Considerations:
Choose stats based on your class and playstyle: Offensive stats might be more valuable for damage dealers, while defensive stats prioritize survivability for tanks.
Consider enemy composition: Focus on stats that counter the main damage type enemies deal (melee or magic).
Balance offense and defense: Don’t neglect either side completely. Find a balance that suits your role and content you’re tackling.
