What stats should I go as sword-peltasta-hoplite-cata3-dragoon? I find out (read some guides) that it should be high STR. Now I feel like I’m fooled, because I saw 2-3 videos with catas farming and all of them had high DEX, not STR. I’m 51lvl hoplite and have 50 STR, 25 CON and 13-16 DEX. I think I have problems with my damage.

Ok, I will put points only in DEX. Let see, what will happen…
Why so many CON? I think, 30 is enough.
With a rank in Pelt and parties expecting you to pull mobs, you’re gonna die fast with just 30 CON.
Just max Finestra (lv5) and get some DEX (maybe half of what you’re putting in STR). If I’m right only those who went Hop3 can really go the no-DEX route.
For DPS, you’ll never go wrong with pumping STR as long as you don’t miss on your enemies.
For tanking, at least 50-60 CON for the Swordsman class seems the most favorable, but more isn’t bad at all.

I don’t trust this calculator. And my question was " DEX or STR?".
this ^
also If that’s your question.
If you want PVP,
High dex builds are favored. Reason is so you can hit the other full/high dex builds.
for PVE where accuracy isn’t too important then a high STR build with decent amount of CON.
I like this video in regards to two types of dragoons. if it helps.

As someone who goes up to 390 STR cata dragoon, my advice: don’t go for high STR, it’s not worth it.
First, you should know that high STR always deal more damage than high DEX on average. However, the “more” part is not that big to sacrifice the evasion and accuracy for it.
People always scream how magic mobs ignore evasion, but you can selectively grind on maps with only physical mobs, where DEX really helps, and STR, not so much.
Get 3 hair accessories that give 30-33 p.atk each, equip the strength pendant, and you are set for high DEX build.

So, the final verdict is high DEX? (I’m PVE oriented)
Yes, go for 250 DEX something, and 60 CON is enough for PvE. You can put the rest into STR
anyone here is above 250? because high dex fall hard later in the game, for example in storage…monster don’t miss or are magic, as a swordsman you will be always in the front or in the middle of the mob, 60 con might work at some point, 250 of dex is off the charts, and i wonder wich high level maps isn’t filled with magics vermins, poisonus stuff or random assholes that dont miss that much and hit for like 1kxhit, grinding in maps without that imo it will take you forever if suchs map happen to exist ('cause i haven’t foundd one …)

But that isn’t working for different builds and classes. Archers use high dex, and their damage is very good. Support mages aren’t meatshields, but they use high con or even full con. Also you can find some videos whith high dex catas grinding. So I can’t believe, that high DEX is totally useless.

Storage is your only choice right now. Yes storage kills swordman in general no matter what you do
At least 250 DEX will help you against some maps from 230 to 260, STR doesn’t
300-400 extra damage doesn’t justify it, especially when with 250 DEX you can crit around 50% of the time, for 3-5k extra damage each skill.

never mentioned str(maybe it could be deduced) dex don’t work late game in pve nor pvp, str might increase and that extra dmg could help, but con help a lot in everything, with 60 con you’re practically a glass cannon that lack a real cannon
