Crazy Concept: Base Class Stats Don't Exist.

Just thought about a concept that would be pretty insane and could change up the meta hard.

Pretty much there are no base stats for classes. For example, warrior will no longer have higher base defense, and archer will no longer have lower base def than the other classes.

So all base stats would equal each other and the only thing that differentiates classes are the items and spells. In this world of no base stats you can truly build tank archer like you always wanted to.

For example: archer's 60% (correct me if I'm wrong on these #s) base defense would now be 100% and warrior's 120% would turn into 100%. (Assuming 100% base def doesn't actually effect defense at all.)

The idea of classes only differentiating by items and spells possibly can lead to more build variety, and zero base factors (that you can't change) that stop you from doing that build. Again tank archer (without air)

Share your thoughts below if this idea seems a little bit interesting.

Edit: not sure if base def is the only base stat, may be more but only ever saw base def. not base attack or whatnot.

 

as if archer and mage arent good enough already

 

Fun and cool thought. But it would make assassins and warriors pretty obsolete as archers will dish just as much damage with extra range without lowered defense

 

No cus tank archer due to recent changes is already very much viable. Also this belongs in suggestions

 

It's not a real suggestion that I don't really want added, its a concept that I think is a bit cool but not suitable for the game

 

The concept isnt needed because they already fixed defs

 

In all seriousness, that number is completely off. Warrior only has a base defense of 120% (136% with t3 scream according to @Druser, although it used to be 140%).
Also, defense is now multiplicative, so as victor stated it's not really needed.

 

Surely this should be under the suggestion forums, and this would be very unfair then, and the classes would lose their individuality. Bow would be op as it can shoot the same speed as a spear and have a much longer range

 

That would make archer the best class in the game, bar none.
