Attribute Effects:
For your reference, the attributes are Strength, Agility, Stamina, Intellect, and Spirit. Though all of this information may change during beta testing, these are the effects of the stats as they stand:
| Strength |
Adds to your Attack Power, Damage-Per-Second (DPS). Strength does not affect Critical Hit chances at all. Strength does not improve your chance to block, but rather the amount blocked when you succeed. This amount is determined in part by Strength (and the other part by your shield). |
| Agility |
Increases all characters' chance to Critical Hit. The amount of the bonus is higher per point on Rogues than other classes. Agility affects dodge. Rogues get more Dodge per point of Agility than other classes. Agility adds directly to Defense. |
| Stamina |
Increases Health points. |
| Intellect |
Increases Mana points as well as chance to Critical Hit with magic spells. Intellect also grants a higher chance to increase melee skills. (It does not affect trade skills though.) |
| Spirit |
Increases Health and Mana regeneration. Spirit affects all characters' Mana and Hit Point regeneration rates in and out of combat. Spirit also increases your chance to 'proc' with weapons. |
