General Alcibides - Physical attack Sanctifies

matt, you are correct.

'nuff said.

I'm not sure on ideal stats, but I dont like defense on my hitters much. Skill defense is nice tho, and I think resilience is pretty good, as is HP. The high end CW PVP meta has barely no offensive mages at all, save Queen B who does barely no damage anyways and is used for her stun proc. The only reason to run magic resist in the case of Queen B, is if it reduces her stun chance, but I think magic defense just reduces queen b's damage... although I could be wrong.

I think the best saints are: (Bear in mind I'm not entirely sure of this, I'm theorycrafting here.)

-Defensive-
1)HP
2)Resilience
3)Skill Defense
4)Dodge

-Offensive-
1)Skill Attack
2)Critical
3)Hit Rating

I'm not entirely sure about break & block. Perhaps runes give enough of this to not merit having saints give more. Any opinions would be welcome. Dodge is another special case, where if you are faced with an opponent with a lot of hit rating saints like some of Blayd's toons, you need a lot of dodge saints for it to be useful, if at all. Imo, it might be better to have resilience, or hp, or some other saint that has a worthwhile effect if you find that you never dodge high end pvp players when you have extra dodge saints & level 12 dodge runes. Essentially the dodge saints become wasted slots, unless I am mistaken. I would love some comments and theorycrafting on this subject. Any thoughts?

Any thoughts?

Defensive:

1. Dodge (only if you have a lot of these saints)
2. Block (probably defends against most skills better than skill defense)
3. Resil
4. Hp
5. Physical Def (think this also guard against skill attacks?... I like it better for pvm as well)
6. Skill Def

Attack:
1. Crit
2. Break
3. Skill Attack
4. Physical attack
5. Hit Rate

Personally I like the special +15 stats (save morale) much better as the other stats could be achieved through gear rather than just runes and saints.

IMHO spot on with the defensives (and yes the comment on 5 is correct). on the offensive i would rate crit > HR > P/S attk > break
