Because I hate the current design, and how useless half the stats are, and how rock/scissor/paper they work.

Instead each stat should give you uses and bonuses for multiple situations and play styles.

• Power (Godstat )
• Precision (Needs power to be very useful )
• Toughness (Only reduces Power damage, does nothing against condi )
• Vitality (Only useful to survive burst, prolongs bad situation )
• Healing Power (To low efficiency to be worth it on anything, good synergy with toughness )
• Condition Damage (godstat )
• Ferocity (useless without power+precision )
• Boon Duration (best defensive stat, best support, almost impossible to get )
• Condition Duration (secondary good condi stat, hard to get, useful for support )

• Damage (=Power. Damage is king )
• Critical (=Precision+Ferocity. Tune the numbers down a bit )
• Defense (=Toughness+“-“Condition Duration. Makes it work against both power/condi damage )
• Health (=Vitality+Healing Power. gives more health and heals health better, lets you survive bursts, and gives you an edge in longer fights with sustain. )
• Malice (=Condition Damage. Damage is king )
• Support (=Boon Duration + Condition Duration. Boons is the best support in the game, Condi Duration second best for things like criple, chill, imob, vulnerability and other none damaging condis. )

Numbers would need to be crunched and adjusted, and this probably would require a lot of redesign in the game, items, traits, classes etc.

This idea would make a physical damage build require only 2 stats (Damage+Critical), thus the third stat is optional if you want to go defensive, party support, or mix into condition damage etc.

This would make a condition build want to have at least 2 stats (Malice+Support for the condi duration which also gives boon duration), the boon duration will actually help this stay a attrition type of gameplay. And you can pick a third stat for defensive, pick up critical for using traits and sigils that triggers on crits.

If you want to go tanky you have several options from Defense+Health for the traditional bunker style, to mixing in Support for hte boon duration and also helping the team. If you go all 3 you will hit like a wet noodle so most will mix in at least one of the damage stats. Damage for the traditional soldier style, or Malice for the Dire style.
