No, seriously, please tell me why my argument is wrong. Tell me if I'm missing something. Because so far you haven't done anything more than vaguely dismiss my arguments.
Your argument is a subjective opinion as to why you think it is the wrong way for someone to play. I gave you examples, you dismissed them with "Well... ummm like 1 dex matters" and continue to ignore the points I make. You excuse them, and flippantly dismiss them LIKE I SAID YOU WOULD DO FROM THE VERY START!
Go argue with a wall for fucks sake. All you are looking for is a fucking sounding board to agree with you. /boggle
You mean like the non-combat examples you gave, which would then have to be followed up by switching weapons to something that could take advantage of your positioning (thus costing AP)? One Dexterity gives like 5 defense rating, which isn't much to boast about, and staves don't synergize with Scoundrel or Marksman skills. Trip is situational with enemies being outright immune to it at times, with your only real contenders being Charm, Eye Gouge nad Razor's Edge. Using your medical skills in combat would mean you have to teleport back and forth with two long cooldowns when it would be more advantageous to just heal them through the effects.
I shouldn't be forced to explain basic fucking game mechanics. I'm looking at the character sheet to verify this; you think Larian planned for Scoundrels and Marksmen to use staves and greatswords when 75% of their skills rely on specific kinds of weaponry?
You keep claiming "subjective opinion", but so far it's all backed up by game mechanics, which you're so eager dismiss because it doesn't fit your precious hybrids, despite the fact that staves are completely useless, deal less base damage than any other weapon of the same level, can't be enhanced without a reagent, can't be boosted or empowered by ores and don't affect Intelligence based skills.
Why are you so vehement about this? Would a change in itemization affect your playstyle? It's not going to make fights less tactical or challenging, it just means that there'd be less chance of useless stats on items.
