Pardon my lack of mathematical proficiency, but how can one go about computing for that point?
Donât worry. You shouldnât need to know much about math to plug in information of my sheet. It should mostly be knowing what does what in the game.
Using my sheet.
Set your desired level and rank. You can use 40 for extra stat points. itâs close enough.
Set weapon attack to 0, monster defense to 0, monster crit resist to 0, monster level the same as yours (so that it is easier to find the point)
Select the class you are doing it for.
As for gear, You can use whatever you think you would use for endgame.
I use two sissels, a max peta, and 3 level 7 green gems. You can put their stats on the right of the weapon attack.
Donât touch elemental stuff, defense; attack; crit modifiers if you donât have them/are using them. Donât touch T0, or any of the named buffs.
after that there is the STR:DEX chart. I would put it so that they are in increments of +10% crit chance.
Now, change the skill damage until you get to the first and second row to change to yellow with 1 damage, and the same for the last two rowsâŚ
Iâm bad at explaining, but it should look something like this https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1GDwVYYIXoiuLGota5xnKXeC2IrIZ6NVmAH0WjNh9m1w/edit#gid=2036371023
Once youâve gotten that far, you can just change the skill damage value. (And you can change the crit resist value to your liking as well after all of it)
OH, last thing. Once you found the number. You need to add the skill damage, your total STR, and your Base attack (before STR) together. Then youâll have the breaking points.

Dex is useless because evasion is capped at 80%. Donât believe me? Go full dex and watch yourself get hit by low level mobs at least 20 out of 100 times. Itâs extremely easy to get over the Crit softcap to get 80% crit rate with gems and the right gears, not to mention buffs.
The only reason I have evasion in this sheet is because someone asked me to add it otherwise itâs not important for the sheets.
Also, Archerâs still need a DEX investment of 187 with gears + buffs to reach 100% (not including crit resist)
Swordies need about 300 dex investment, and the same for clerics.
But no. DEX is not useless.
These theories are crap, how did u come up with the formula anyway.
I would take all the brick u kids throw at me
Dex isnât useless, but evasion does cap at 80%.
The Mechanics Guide is where I assume he bases his formulaâs from, and itâs not theories, itâs math.
So does this all mean⌠do whatever you feel like, just dont add int or spr?
I have the solution to the whole STR vs DEX situation.
Play Wizard or Cleric and leave both at minimum.
Here you go. You are free to disagree and attempt to dispute against me, but you will most likely be wrong anyways.
And as @Queue said, this is just math. The theories come after doing all the math.
This was more for the physical branch of the classes. INT and SPR are more for the magical branches.

I was kind of joking. There doesnt seem to be a huge difference to me, but its still good for people who want the absolute best damage so i guess it was a bad joke.
Personally i pick classes that dont need much crit from dex so i can go mostly STR. Like my rogue im making or my hoplite.
Ah, no worries. The joke flew over my head.
Thank you!

If the diference in DPS is so small is hard to tell which is better, you might choose DEX, as it not only gives DPS but also survival tru evasion, and if you put knock backs / knock downs in the equation, DEX will be even better, as you will not lose those seconds to get up and reposition yourself.
If you look a little into the future, when c8 comes, there is no way str can match dex with 16k dmg skills.
I have put in some stuff for Swordies, Archers, and Cleric that Iâve done and placed at other threads. Iâve put it here so that anyone looking for information donât have to search through the forums for it.

Youâre kidding right? Glass Mole cards says otherwise. Whatâs the point of Dex when you can cap crit rate with gems and gears? Whatâs the point of Dex when evasion is capped at 80%?
Well it depends. If you dont have monstrance or quicken, then yes full dex is better, but not for archers because they can reach crit cap with just swift step.
Itâs about 200 invested stats into dex for archers or so.
Still thereâs never a reason to shoot for max crit chance alone because there WILL be instances where monstrance, quicken, and/or crit resist reducing scenarios will happen. (Not to mention, iâve never taken any cards into account)
As such, a mix of STR and DEX is always better.
I think these full dex junk mergen builds weâve seen in the videos show that there needs to be balance. xD
This will become even more relevant after this maintenance is completed.
Oh, yeah⌠if anyone knows how the new level difference stuff works please tell me.
