I found myself trying to decide between equipent quite abit. Hmm... better armor/attack rating or stats seems.. So I found this, from beta, not sure how acurate but at least its something
Strength:
Strength / 5 = Increases melee ability damage DPS by result. Strength / 10 = Increases melee auto attack damage DPS by result.
Toughness:
Toughness / 5 = Reduces damage by X DPS.
Wounds:
Wounds * 10 = Extra Health over default increase per level.
Initiative:
(Level * 7.5 + 50) / Initiative * .1 * 100 = +% to be critically hit. Initiative / (Level * 7.5 + 50) * .075 * 100 = +% to evade.
Weapon Skill:
Weapon skill / (Level * 7.5 + 50) * .075 * 100 = +% to parry. Weapon skill / (Level * 5 + 50) * .25 *100 = +% Armor penetration
Ballistic Skill:
Ballistic skill / 5 = Increases ranged ability damage DPS by result. Ballistic skill / 10 = Increases ranged auto attack damage DPS by result.
Intelligence:
Intelligence / 5 = Increases ability damage DPS by result.
Willpower:
Willpower / 5 = Increases Healing Per Second. (Level * 7.5 + 50) / Willpower * .075 * 100 = +% Disrupt spells.
Armor:
Armor / (Level * 44) * .4 * 100 = +% Damage Reduction
Resistances:
Resistance Value / (level * 3.8) * .4 * 100 = % Resistance
Block:
Block rating of shield / (level*7.5+50) * .2 * 100 = Block %

Toughness applies against every kind of incoming damage, right? That would seem to make it really important to stack for RVR.

Are there any algorithms that explain how toughness and armor stack? Do armor wearing classes get an additive bonus with toughness or do they see diminishing returns to toughness relative to say cloth wearing classes?

FUCK here we go. I was going to say the same thing. I found it pleasing that all weapons only listed DPS...

Sorry... 5+ years of DAoC and years of ATitD ruined me. Maybe I'll ask someone on the EvE forums!

If that's the case then it makes them both beneficial. How they stack (additive vs multiplicative) if they do stack is the question.

I dunno, does toughness affecting physical damage make armor worthless? I suspect it is almost certainly good to have both.

Speak for yourself - what I hate is when MMOs obscure their mechanics so you can't make informed decisions, personally.

Mad skills with the rod.

pretty sure i remember reading that toughness has diminishing returns or a soft cap. Don't have anything to back that up, so take it with some grains of salt

That's when burn-out occurs. There's only so many times you can push the button for the pellet.

I just want to see my damage range numbers change when I equip stuff, that's all I ask!

Have you tried the internet? It's made out of millions of people missing the point of everything and then getting angry about it

Me too! Twins! I used to dismiss the Dr. Damage add-on for WoW, now I find myself in severe pain whenever I don't have it. :(

Just as a heads up when you do your mastery training the obvious, reasonable and intuitive belief that training to the bar which actually contains a skill unlocks it is wrong. You don't get that skill, you still have to buy it with another point.
