Stats still cap at 80, so it's not like it would be completely gamebreaking. I do understand your concern, but it won't be TOO ridiculous due to the limitations.

Myself, I'm much more interested in...

- Finally getting a 50% Str option, as levelling a Str character presently means being stuck with Arbalest's 40%.
- More "Glass Cannon" builds that sacrifice Vit/Def/Res for optimal offense
- More Tanky builds that sacrifice Str/Wil/Ski for optimal defense.
- The ability to get Lady Luck before level 30
- Elves who aren't crappier healers than 25+% Will races (50% Custom main + Subbing Evoker would let an Elf reach 103% Will - they'd have a snowball's chance in hell finally)
- The ability to keep specific values low on a character they're ICly meant to be low on. (Example: Evoker has Skill and Cel. What if the character is meant to be a bumbling inept klutz packing incredible yet unstable power)
- The ability to actually use your class's skills without levelling as a different class first (Examples: Thousand Stab scaling with Cel on a class without Cel gains, Any will-based skill on VA/Ghost/Monk, an LB's spear stuff, etc)
- Not needing to wait on Dev to implement a class whose growths finally fit a niche we don't have represented in our current growth spreads, such as anything with Decent Res and an offensive stat (BK at least gets 30% Str on it's 40% Def. Ghost gets 20% Str) Or a fast physical fighter (Kensei and VA both only have 30 Strength. Most races cannot even reach 75% without maining Arbalest, which is slow)
- Since Evasion is a thing now, there'd be a hard counter to people who drop everything into Will/Vit/Def/Res and no skill.


Sure, minor issues may crop up involving the reworking of a few things (I could totally see Res/Luc stacking to exploit wraithguard leading to a change in the formula, for example) but overall, I'm convinced it will be primarily positive.
