Dump Stat: Difference between revisions

* The My Unit creation system in ''[[Fire Emblem: Awakening]]'' goes out of its way to avert this. Whichever stat you pick as 'worst' will actually lower other stats too, though not as much. Picking Luck or Resistance (generally considered Dump Stats) for worst will also lower Strength and Magic or Magic and Speed respectively, all of which are considered very important stats.

* Vitality and Healing in ''[[Guild Wars 2]]'' are very niche stats that only see use in specific builds due to how the game works: everyone can heal, then investing in Toughness to reduce direct damage taken is often a better idea than increasing health, and the scaling of healing abilities with the Healing stat isn't always good enough to justify investing in it except for heavily healing-oriented builds. Only classes with very low base heatlth benefit substantially from Vitality if the player doesn't want to go full [[Glass Cannon]], and the Necromancer is a particular case due to its [[Multiple Life Bars|Death Shroud]] scaling with maximum health and being generated in percentage amounts. Vitality even becomes detrimental in the Fractals of the Mists due to the Agony debuff that deals unmitigated damage based on maximum health, then investing in any other stat becomes mandatory to succeed.

** [http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0044.html Intelligence] is Thog's dump stat. Could you tell?

*** [[Heroic Sociopath|Belkar]]'s is Wisdom, which is so low that he can't even cast the most basic of the spells associated with his ranger training. (He apparently took the training just so he could learn [[Dual-Wielding]].)

*** V's are Strength and Charisma, fittingly for a [[Squishy Wizard]] and [[Insufferable Genius]].
