Avowed features six core attributes:
- Might: Enhances physical and spiritual strength, boosting damage from all sources and increasing carry capacity. High Might unlocks unique dialogue options, potentially intimidating foes or avoiding conflict.
- Constitution: Improves overall health and endurance, increasing maximum health and resistance to poison and bleeding. It also unlocks specific dialogue choices.
- Dexterity: Increases attack and action speeds, enhancing weapon and ability speed, consumable use, parkour, and reload speed. It significantly improves overall mobility.
- Perception: Boosts critical hit chance and maximum range for ranged weapons (bows, wands, guns). It offers additional dialogue options, though their impact on gameplay is minimal.
- Intellect: Increases maximum essence and resistance to ignited, shocked, and frozen statuses. Crucial for spellcasters, it also unlocks additional dialogue options.
- Resolve: Improves maximum stamina and Second Wind efficiency. Ideal for heavy weapon users and tank builds, it also unlocks dialogue options similar to Constitution.
Attribute Ranking and Strategic Allocation
While each attribute benefits specific builds, some prove universally valuable. Here's a ranking to guide your attribute point allocation:
-
Perception: Perception's niche benefits (critical hit chance and ranged weapon range) are situationally effective. While useful against certain enemies, its overall impact is limited by the prevalence of close-quarters combat. Consider investing sparingly, potentially respeccing for specific encounters.
-
Resolve: Increased maximum stamina is beneficial, but readily obtainable through unique armor. Second Wind's effectiveness, while improved by Resolve, is often outweighed by focusing on health, survivability, and mobility to avoid lethal damage.
-
Intellect: Boosting maximum essence and elemental resistance is highly advantageous. Even non-magic users benefit from increased essence for various abilities. Elemental resistance is crucial for mitigating deadly elemental damage.
-
Dexterity: A versatile attribute, Dexterity enhances attack and action speeds, improving DPS, mobility, and item usage. A worthwhile investment for all builds.
-
Constitution: Increased maximum health and resistance to poison and bleeding are vital for survivability. Poison and bleed effects are frequently lethal, making Constitution a strong choice for increased resilience.
-
Might: The most impactful attribute, Might significantly increases damage output across all weapons, dramatically improving DPS. Its secondary benefit, increased carry capacity, is indispensable for managing inventory and maximizing loot collection.
This ranking provides a framework for building your Avowed character. Remember to adjust based on your preferred playstyle and build.
