The six core Avowed attributes are:
-
Might: Boosts physical and spiritual strength, increasing damage output from all sources and expanding carry capacity. High Might unlocks unique dialogue options, potentially intimidating foes or avoiding combat.
-
Constitution: Enhances overall health and stamina, increasing maximum health and resistance to poison and bleeding. It also unlocks specific dialogue choices.
-
Dexterity: Increases attack and action speeds for weapons, abilities, item use, and parkour, improving overall mobility and reload speed.
-
Perception: Improves critical hit chance and maximum range for ranged weapons (bows, wands, guns). It offers additional, albeit often minor, dialogue options.
-
Intellect: Increases maximum essence and resistance to fire, shock, and frost damage. Crucial for spellcasters, but also beneficial for abilities that consume essence. Unlocks additional dialogue options.
-
Resolve: Boosts maximum stamina and Second Wind effectiveness. Ideal for heavy weapon users and tank builds. Unlocks dialogue options with effects similar to Constitution.
Avowed Attribute Ranking:
While attribute effectiveness depends on your build, some offer broader advantages. Here's our ranking:
-
Perception: While increased critical hit chance and range sound appealing, their practical impact varies significantly. Ranged combat is situational, often overshadowed by close-quarters encounters. Investing minimally, perhaps respeccing for specific fights, is advisable.
-
Resolve: Increased stamina is beneficial, but many unique armor pieces offer similar boosts, reducing Resolve's necessity. Second Wind, while helpful, is often less effective than improving overall health and survivability.
-
Intellect: Enhancing maximum essence and elemental resistance is highly valuable. Elemental resistance is crucial for mitigating damage, and even non-magic builds benefit from increased essence for various abilities.
-
Dexterity: A versatile attribute that improves attack and action speeds, enhancing mobility and DPS. A worthwhile investment for all builds.
-
Constitution: Increased maximum health and resistance to poison and bleeding are vital for survival. Poison and bleeding are frequent causes of death, making this attribute highly effective.
-
Might: The most impactful attribute. Increased damage significantly improves DPS, while the carry capacity boost is essential for managing inventory and loot.
