What is the most important stat?

[Magic Spazm]

I'm probably going to say vitality, with armor as a runner up.

Strength. Like they say, the best defense is a good offense. Kill things faster and you don't have to dodge as much stuff.

Actually, Rune Weight and Equip Weight are probably the real most important stats.

Rune Weight is pretty good

[Tetsuya_Kurogane]

Rune/Weight
Then Dexterity and crit chance really makes a difference.

The Fun stat :)

Strength & Resolve.

In that order.

Str for obvious reasons, Resolve so you can snowball out of control and become a god.

👍

Strength and Crit chance are the most important for me, then armor but not too much, just wear ammonite armor combo) and then idk some vit maybe or int for more efficient hp drops, depends how you feel about sustainability.

Rune and eq weight can be obtained from levelling classes so you don't have to really farm those that hard.

[HoneyDrake]

Strength and dex for higher crit damage.


Nothing else comes close to those 2.

You don't need resolve and health if you just get yourself "Coeus' Shell" and just force as much damage as possible, like Aite's Sword and co.

I disagree, it isn't a real stat and is thus irrelevant to the conversation.

The game has enough scaling that going too hard for one stat and not the other actually hinders progress. I think for most classes, HP STR Weight Resolve would be the way to go.

Don't worry, friend. You'll find it one of these days. :)

Most stats in the game are fairly balanced and have their own values. Str is the most popular because it is the most consistent and almost all classes need to attack to do damage.

But when you reach higher NG, crit rate, damage and even super crit becomes more valuable if you want to maximize your damage beyond just purely stacking strength.

Rune weight doesn't do anything at start but it quickly enables more customization toward playstyles in higher NG. It can enable a lot of life steal for comfortable farm runs, +% resources and resolves, more dash and jump for mobility and even allowing Barb to start with 200+ mana and can actually start using DPS spells.

Same for Resolves, it is a very swingy stats at first since you can not always get the relic you want, and even if you do you can only pick up 2-3 relics before running out of resolves. End game when you have a comfortable though and can start to stack a lot of them become rather crazy (Soul Tether and Arcane Necklace as well as Ambrosia and Rage etc).

rune weight 100%, equip weight is kinda irrelevant for me thanks to a +9 leather trinket

It really depends on the individual, I think.

Beginners often benefit more from increased damage (in the short term).

More experienced and/or skilled players are tempted by higher life, because they know how to attack and then dodge, so OHKO attacks are less crucial. And more life is useful to everyone.

Less experienced and/or skilled players might also benefit more from higher life (in the long run), since it gives them more opportunities to develop skill without the need for killing fast.

Overall, I have to agree with the OP. Vitality #1, with armor as a runner-up.
