Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen aims to revamp items and levels to make stats more impactful for players.
The recent Ashbreather update introduced tweaks to itemization, emphasizing character power from gear, with both common and rare item drops affecting character progression.
Future developments include a focus on 'soft specialization' where gear enhances specific stats tied to abilities, and a plan for overall stat improvements every five levels.
The game intends for stats to hold greater significance compared to other MMOs, but the implementation will require time and gradual adjustments.
