Yeah it's 1:1 for AGI:Flee and DEX:Hit, so it's not really noticable unless you're pumping AGI/DEX hard.  Hence why on melee classes I tend to save those stats for last and only pump them as necessary.
Esifex:
I go more for ASPD over Flee when I'm pumping Agi - the Flee is just a bonus, to me. I like being able to kill quickly when I'm playing melee.
Solais:
Those who know/care about Renewal and/or the official servers, what do you think about this?
helvetica:
It severely penalizes pure forger/brewer builds even moreso.  With high dex/int you could at least get away with mashing on weaker stuff.  Other than that I think it adds variety to builds, especially with the negative penalty (suddenly level 1/2 gear may not be as bad as you think with negative penalty), but it makes levelling up to max a lot harder as you'll need to adjust your equipment a lot more often to account for stat loss.

I do agree on the comment about reducing the importance of unrelated stats like DEX/LUK while returning them to their original roles (min damage for DEX/crit rate for LUK) rather than leaving them as catchall bonus stats.  Also I really really like the mob changes, as well as reverting non 3rd job skills to pre-Renewal status.  Some of the Renewal nerfs made absolutely no sense.  The XP/Drop penalty was stupid as hell too.

I'm going to wait and see and do some playtesting, but I'm thinking I'll model HatOnline after jRO and not kRO at this point., especially post-Renewal.

Hahahaha, jRO. How I missed you.

HAHAHAHA

Yeah, the negative penalty thing is absolutely hilarious, as pure forgers/brewers are now fucked solo-wise unless they want to spend for-fucking-ever killing weakshit since they won't have any damage whatsoever. That IS pretty much the only real concern though, I'm pretty happy that jRO are still working hard to try and keep things fresh, it was pretty much the only reason why I preferred it over the other official servers. I'm liking what they did with the spawns, and XP/Drop rates too. Those were pretty cool.
