I definitely can see the inspiration coming from WoW and other games like that. I loved this part of MMORPGs, theorycrafting as to how many agility points on a certain item you need to hit another crit threshold and so on. Which path in the skilltree you needed to chose to get additional perks for the stat you wanted to push for a certain spec.
Will there be an infobox ingame (as in WoW) where you can see how many percent a stat like crit chance will go up per any given stat point like agility?
