Anyone knows why we must take Constitution in this tree ?

Are there other stats than this to be effective with the darkness path ?

I don't know, but if its on the reccomended stats list I wouldn't go trusting it, they often turn out to be wrong.

it's just a suggestion, they probably think that a dark character should have a lot of health to make them a tougher casting build. It just sounds right for darkness.


thing to remember is that it's just a suggestion. They cant predict what your playstyle will be, but if they played Darkness, that's what they would use.


do what you want, the game is made to play the way you want to play

I have darkness as my main tree and, although I keep to endruance, I have dex and ego as my second stats, more so the dex. I have low con, but I can crit my butt off.

Frankly, I've mostly gone w/ a custom framework just so I can pick w/e stats I want to affect my powers. Of course, you are welcome to use w/e you like. I think the suggestions are meant to fit the theme the devs have for a certain power-tree...

If you are a WoW player, look at the Darkness tree as a warlock.

They have a Life Tap like spell, that not only trades health for energy, but it also raises your equil to max. That spell is why you want endurance and constitution. Recovery is not something that needs to be factored, as with that spell youll always be max equil and youll always have a high health and energy pool.

Constitution and Endurance are recommended because they boost the power of Shadow Form. Endurance increases damage, constitution increases the supernatural resist.
