Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 Divinity - Original Sin 2 - General stat priorities in 3.0.15

OK, before the last patch you had to spend all your points into a single stat or else your bonus got smaller and smaller. Leadership was extremely powerful and you could learn all spells without spending points, just by equipping some items.

I think that the new system is a huge improvement. But I also have the feeling that the game is much harder now. So where should I put my stats?

str, dex, int: give 5% damage+ and some accurancy+ per point for attacks or skills based on that stat. More damage is always nice, equipment and spells get better as you level up and +20% of a big number is more than +20% of a small number. I think this means the higher your level, the more usefull they are

con: More vitality is nice, but there is one problem: If your vilality is attacked then you do not have armor which means enemies can CC you. If they CC you, your vitality does not matter much because they have all the time in the world to kill you while you can do nothing. So I think con is not extremely importent.

memory: With one slot per point it looks much more powerful than before. CC is king and it is nice when you always have a skill ready (not on cooldown) to stop the enemy. Especially when you want an ability that attacks physical armor, another for magical armor and some buffs and healing. So I think it looks very importent.

wits: Often combat starts with a massive attack that tries to destroy armor and keeps the enemy CCed if they survive. So acting first seems to be very importent.

I have played only a little bit with the new patch so this is my theoretical guess.: In the beginning memory comes first, then wits, then your primary stat (one of the 3) and con comes last.
Once you have enough memory to use all the skills you want, keep your wits up to act first and if you are fast enough, spend your points in your primary stat.

This is my theory. Now I want to hear the opinion on some people who actually finished the game with the new system.

I think the current system is much better than the old one. Do you think it can stay so (with some balancing regarding the numbers of what each skill or item does) or do you have some suggestions to make it better?
