Stamina QuestionsFollow

I have heard that Hitpoints are based solely on Base Stamina. I have a couple questions about this.

1. What is the upside to having higher stamina through equipment if it wont effect your hitpoints? Does this make you recover quicker or what?

2. When you get a choice to add stamina via quests or leveling, does it add to your base?

Yes, but would the hp come from gaining stamina through eq? I don't think it does. For example if you had 100 hp at 20 stamina, and got a helmet that gave 1 stamina, would you have 105 hp or still 100? And if you would still have 100, then what is the use for stamina as far as equipment goes? Does it have to do with recovery, or power, or what?

additional Stamina would increase the amount of HPs. but I think not as effective as adding HPs, I mean +1 STA < +1 HPs. But I think STA not only adding HPs, there must be something else added instead of HPs.



I dont think 1 sta would gain that much of HPs. I think about 1%-2% of your base HP per each additional STA, or less.

Can anyone actually answer my question, or do I just have to create a new character and test it out at early levels when leveling is easy?

I would need to create a new guy to test if wearing sta eq when leveling makes a difference.

And no, wearing stamina gear just to level will not give you more permanant HP, as soon as you take that stamina gear off - you lose the HP you gained while wearing it.

Your total HP will raise a certain amount each level from simply gaining a level, it is a different amount for each person.

Wearing +STA gear adds so many HP per STA. Getting a Stamina buff, similarly raises your HP the same amount per stamina point.

Wearing gear that says +200 HP, is better than wearing a piece of gear that says +10 STA.

The exact HP:STA ratio I do not know, but will gladly figure out as soon as I get home from work.

never appologized for it /shrug

wow...

/em offers everyone a bit of tea.

i misunderstood the question you asked originally, and was thinking perhaps something had changed after beta, when last i actually *looked* at this sort of thing, but if i understand it correctly then let's try this:

if you are wearing a piece of equipment when leveling, this does *nothing* for your *base* stats. this is a temporary positive effect based solely and directly on the stat on the piece of equipment in question.

if you take that piece of equipment off, and level, your hp will still go up by the *exact* same amount that they would have gone up had you been wearing it.

if you then put the piece of equipment back on, you'll regain the same stat that you had when you wore it last level, as long as you have not outgrown it.

base stats are unrelated to equipment. equipment stats may change based on level, but that's easily seen by examining the equipment.

better?

y'all be good to each other :).

Thanks runyariel, and I didn't mean to be cranky with him, he just copped an attitude like he already told me when it was unclear. No one should have to feel dumb for asking a question on a question board.

it's a good idea to dust off the patience ability when reading a board, i've found :).

and he's well respected in my book, so i was starting to get testy myself, when i decided that this would be counterproductive, and that perhaps you just needed what he said to be restated, and expanded a tad... and then he'd already said that bit, too :).

so between the two of us, we've got you set :).

i figured that, which is why i decided that getting cranky wouldnt help.

and ... ask anytime... if i see it, i'll do my best to help :).
