Luck stat impact

Post by Zunar »

I found this post on the EQ forum about the impact of luck stat.
https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq/ind ... st-4045020

It would seem that the first 100 luck add abit more value, but beyond that, while still providing value, it has diminished returns.
What this tells me is I don't worry too much about having 15 luck on every item, or even replacing all chase loots in favor of luck stat. Regular stats may be worth more in some cases like stacking high stat hdex slot 18/19 augs.

Many years ago before HStat revamp I was a STR rog, I wonder if now that also heroic stats have dim returns trading dex over cap for str is worthwhile

Hdex won't be capped at all. It will have diminishing returns over a threshold value that may take many, many more years to reach. Even with diminished returns it's still miles ahead of Hstr in terms of the dps impact it offers.
Hstr just adds a very small flat value to each hit that doesn't crit or get enhanced by anything.
1 point of flat damage per 10 Hstr.
So let's say you get 500 more hstr by focusing on that stat more. That's 50 extra damage per hit.
Lets say you hit on average 6 times per second. That's 300 dps you gained.

Each 25 points of Hdex add something like 1% to crit rate iirc. Those 500 point put on Hdex, you'd have gained a 20% boost to your crit rate.
So question is would you prefer 300 dps flat damage, or 20% more to crit chance, boosting dps even more so when under burn?

Hstr is basically garbage compared to Hdex.

Highest RNG hdex magelo profiles (with sword and board or 2hander) seem to max around 3150.
If we get another 10point boost on slot5s in next expansion and maybe 5 on type7/8, thus might be another 210-230.
Still a long way from 4k

Like i said in other posts it might be worth trading some Dex augs for Stam augs for nasty Ae's like i have done ; Asgaul is still a goodr+3231 heroic Dex with ps & trib.
Hitpoint's boost very useful from " Chunk of Glowing Health +80 Stam https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/ite ... tem=139809
or Pearlescent Scale +47 in all https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/ite ... tem=139805.
To be honest yes i agree with Zunar, the crit rate is worth the dex versus strength however i don't see the point as yet going for +3500 heroic dex as the returns are not worth the returns compared to other useful stats, like stam. For me i have a mix mostly Dex & a few stam augs the rest are +47 stat slot 5s.

It's different for zerkers. You can hit max crit rate anyways.
For example monks and bsts are lowest on crit rates of all meleeing classes, so there are alot of gains to be had.
