I'll be the first to admit that the stats still need some balancing, so let me know where you think the most work is needed. Which stats do you find yourself using the LEAST? (I capitalize it, because I know someone's gonna come along and vote for their favs...). Any stats generally a total waste of points? (I can think of 1 that I personally avoid). Please only explain WHY you don't like these stats in the post below.
Go Team!

what costs way to much? i don't use taint, poison or gold steal because of the cost. don't use defense % as it's easier to and more effective to use damage. don't use health as again more damage means faster kills. speed's overpowered, stun can't effectively counter it because it doesn't active every hit. i don't think accuracy is strong enough and dodge is a tad to strong. |

I could have actually picked 4 that I'd never touch. Defense, defense % and dodge out of general principle (you could make them game winning, and I still wouldn't go anywhere near them... lol) and gold steal since it's pretty useless against the NPCs which I mostly fight.
Dodge was the one that never made it into the poll for me, since I had to leave one out.

Gold steal= you get all of the gold for exploring
Speed= Most of the time it is with a -dmg% (Tali of Wolfs)
Poison= cost to much

Sorry, stun,speed,and dodge; they all take too many points for too little gain what stun and speed gave you a leg up to multiple hits. i don't think you understand how those worked. dodge at it's highest levels is quite effective as even with a ton of accuracy i was having a hard time doing more than 30+ damage to a clan chief. but dodge is dodgy. |

gold steal, costs too much, and i find it easier to just sell fallen items, poison because it costs too much and taint...again costs too much for little gain...the only thing these stats are good for (in my opion anyway) is enhancing items you intend to sell anyway just to get the extra gold out of it, lol

I tagged poison, health gain, and gold steal...
Poison - I really haven't seen anyone using it at all, prob because it costs so much to equip. It was really effective in old GoS, though, so I dunno if it's just a cost/benefit balance issue, or what...
Health gain was useful in the early (teen) levels, but seemed to lose effectiveness pretty quickly, although I haven't tried it lately, because I had to overload speed to stay competitive...
Gold steal costs a ton to equip, and most people don't hold much gold - lower equip pt cost, and anything that's done to encourage more pocket gold, would likely make this one viable again, at least as an alternate/spare equip set for 'raid' runs...

I went all out on Taint with my Trolloc/Myrddraal character. Before level 30 it seemed to be quite effective, I even got him up to the #6 spot in the win count heroes. After....it doesn't seem to be helping so much now. Maybe I need to balance him out a bit better now lol. However, I've done as much as 90 damage per turn with taint alone. Every time my taint hits it adds 18 taint. With enough luck, he could take out the strongest characters in the game.

Well I have been using dmg% accuracy speed and no one seems to be able to beat me ;D I never touch gold steal poison dodge or taint life gain is no use cus the point is to kill the guy not let him kill you and then gain back the health. stun is ok and def can be good with some base dmg or taint. but it sems that allout dmg is the way to go.

Sorry, stun,speed,and dodge; they all take too many points for too little gain stun speed and dodge add very few points to an item until you get the really high bonus like +3 speed. otherwise it's pretty much a wash putting them on an item. |

I really do miss poison as it was back in the days, it's the modifier I like the best because of how it works, but now it is just too expensive.
