Problem is the fact that Runic Games developers at that time were still heavily influenced by the fantasy Rpg Slash Genre and standard theme stat system.

With games like Grim Dawn now allowing mixes like never before. It's time to start considering wider applied powers like:

Explosive : reactive gel coating is becoming stronger so all my weapons and defense gain greater explosive force.

Corosive : acidic gei coating is becoming potent so all my weapons and defense gain greater melting force.

Implosive : vacuum gel coating is becoming void so all my weapons and defense gain greater suction force.

Symbiosive : connective gel coating is gaining signal so all my allies and defense gain greater combined force.

With one simple change this now supports Commander builds along with Assassin, Barbarian and Alchemist Builds.

Critical, Energy, Health and other stat affixes are gained via Skills and Items.
