Intelligence+ vs attack+ for casters?

Post by jaska »

I was wondering, what would be more useful, int +30-35 or attack +8 - +9 for casters on ng,
both seem to have an effect on spell damage?

I find it hard to believe that +30 and +9 Attack have the same effect on damage, but if thats the case, go +Int. INT will additionally increase your MR and your ability to break opponents MR.

It's hard to say, I would think that +9 attack would be more effective at increasing damage than +30-+36 int.

However, stats from gear are doubled on NG, so maybe it is close. Have you tested them back to back?

Maybe I should do some testing on NG.

Did not say the effect was equal, but it isnt far off. Need some really high hp dummy that stays put and does not hit back to
test :)
