Zean Zapple -> Weapon Awareness (4/9/2011 14:28:47)

With this new update, Weapon Awareness is critical. What makes a weapon good or bad? The answer is Stat Modifiers.
Stat Modifiers, more commonly known as Stat Mods, are the buffs on a weapon that add points to one of the four Stats: Strength, Dexterity, Technology, Support. Starting at Level 1 and working your way to Level 33 gives you a total of 128 points to spend freely however you'd like. With the new Stat Progressions those 128 points would leave you weak, and helpless. With the help of Stat Modifiers and Enhancement Slots(Stat Modifiers that you are free to place wherever you choose) you can greatly improve your Strength Damage, your Physical Defense, your Energy Resistance, and your Auxiliary Damage.
You might be thinking that a weapon with +35 or +36 Damage is way better than a weapon with +33 Damage. But in reality that +33 Damage weapon has +18 Stat Modifiers and the other Auxiliary only has +8, that's a crazy 10 more Stat Modifiers than the other weapon!
With the new update the Stat Progressions require more points than they used to. This makes Stat Modifiers EVEN more critical. Damage can't hide the beauty of the Stat Modifier.
