You're forgetting armor defense. And if you're not running any sort of defense on your armor and your base defense is pitiful then yeah, you're going to get wrecked by autohits. Accelia is hardly unique for that purpose.

No dodger is flaunting more than +10-12 additional defense from 'armor defense'. And if you want to bring in other factors, 60 strength is a basic accomplishment currently.

Why would I ever ask players for input before implementation? I can give you a list of opinions I would get that would be extremely unhelpful.
1) It sucks.
2) Too good (because it's new/different).
3) Why do [x] when you can just do [different idea that has nothing to do with the original idea at all]?

Any opinion I could get on it would be maybe 50% accurate at best, not to mention it would slow down development unnecessarily, and some peoples' opinions aren't worth listening to, to begin with. Unless you've actually, I don't know, experienced the item/whatever for yourself, then your opinion means jack. Even my opinion on something is not going to be accurate at the time of implementation all the time, even if I have logic to back up the reasons why it is what it is, which is why many numerous times, things get adjusted. Just to add to my point, when Accelia was first found in-game, there were so many outcries of 'this item is garbage' that you'd think there was an echo in the chatbox.

The comment was more entailing how you come up with certain things out of blue. Aka, it either ends disastrous or decent. For instance, looking at spiked threads effect (among other outdated shoes), it gives a whooping 6 or so piercing damage from kicks and offers knock-back immunity. I'd think the standard for 'damage-boosting kicks' would follow that flat formula to begin with.

You mean the entire point and idea behind the item? The boots that are made for attacking shouldn't be a weapon?

No, no it shouldn't. It should be a supplementary damage dealer that doesn't outright replace, outdo, or even be a weapon. I hope that comment's not misinterpreted either (hint: Trex means the equivalent of a weapon slot). But oh well.
