Important stats for Druid and Wizard since update?

[Hexton]

I did a search for a more updated topic for stats, but unable to fined what I needed.

I havent really played, deleted during entro game a few times. I just want to make my favorite classes (Druid Wizard) with best stats needed.

Whats stats are most needed now since patch.

Thanks!

Depends on what you want to do. For crowd control you want Perception (so your spells will hit) and Intelligence (so they'll last longer). For damage you'd probably just want to swap Perception for Might.

All stats are important now. Since Wiz and Dru has lowest base accuracy it could be good to put some there.
Dexterity for faster spellcasting. Intelligence for much debuff\DoT times.
And might for better damage.
So what we have? Con and Res are mostly unnecessary if you don't want to go melee.

I have spiritshifting melee Druid so i go with highest Int(for 21+sec form), Dex(for high attack rate) and Might and dropped Res.

Also take a look at this guide.

You really don't even need Con or Res for a melee Wizard either. If you buff yourself up properly they aren't going to be hitting you much regardless.

Wow ok thanks, more stats needed than I thought. I guess I'll go with wood elf from living lands for my Druid? As for Wizard not sure, but Wizard will be second go around.

I've seen somewhere that Wood Elf special (+5 ranged accuracy) doesn't apply to spells.
But i could be wrong, so you'd better test it yourself. Check combat log to see your actual accuracy.

I did not know that so many stats influence the spell effects :O thanks a lot!

It applies to ranged spells, if distance is far enough.

Anyway, if you haven't played the game much yet, don't focus on the attributes too much. Don't dump Resolve or Constitution as long as haven't developed a feeling for defenses in POE. Later, at inns, you can retrain your player character, your hired adventurers and the NPCs, and you even change the attributes for your PC and hired members.
