Ranking Avowed's Attributes
While attribute effectiveness depends on your build, some offer broader advantages. Here's our ranking:
-
Perception: Perception's benefits (critical hit chance and ranged weapon range) are situational. While useful against specific enemy types, its overall impact is limited by the frequent close-quarters combat. Consider investing minimally, potentially respeccing for specific encounters.
-
Resolve: Increased stamina is beneficial, but readily obtainable through unique armor. Second Wind's improvement is valuable, but prioritizing health and mobility is often more effective for survival.
-
Intellect: Essential for spellcasters, Intellect's elemental resistances and increased maximum essence are valuable even for non-magic users due to the prevalence of essence-consuming abilities.
-
Dexterity: A versatile attribute, Dexterity boosts attack and action speeds, improving DPS and overall mobility. A worthwhile investment for all builds.
-
Constitution: Increased maximum health and resistance to poison and bleed are crucial for survivability, as these damage types are frequently lethal.
-
Might: The most impactful attribute, Might significantly increases damage output from all weapons and boosts carry capacity. The damage increase dramatically improves DPS, while increased carry capacity enhances exploration and loot management.
This ranking provides a framework for attribute point allocation. Remember to adjust your strategy based on your chosen playstyle and build.
