Does some stats scale better than others?

stats by themselves don't "scale", but as fod said, the main difference lies in weapons, which multiply your stats.

an example is warriors, one handed swords multiply your stats by 1.2, while a polearm does by 1.49. (numbers may be off nowadays but you get the point.

so 2 warriors with the same stats but different weapons will have different range, even if their str is the same. so yeah, different weapons increase the effectiveness of your stats.

Interesting, but does it effect the late game of certain jobs or we need look more at the %final dmg and other things(like %crit dmg) when seeying the late game?
