I do have the stat reset potion from buying the founder’s pack and reset later end-game, but what’s a good general consensus for going STR/DEX.
I am going Ranger 3 > Fletcher 3.
2:1 STR/DEX ?
1:2 STR/DEX ? or
1:1 STR/DEX ?
Does STR effect skill more or does DEX?
Personally I’m doing 2:1 with str:dex.
I have read that dex pulls ahead very slightly at end game but by a very small amount. I decided on 2:1 as it gives me flexibility and the damage appears OK.
I read some advice on the forums here that str is better for multiple hits while dex is better for a single large amount of dmg hit
Wait… here
Really depends on what skills you’re gonna be using when you reach end game.
Str is by far superior for leveling.
Dex catches up once you hit rank 7 and your skills skyrocket in damage.
Honestly after extensive testing, your stat allocation won’t matter for dps purposes. I can say that full dex leads to you losing less health and using less hp pots. You’ll be weaker compare to str builds at first, but you overtake them once you start hitting end game.
2:1 str:dex is a pretty safe allocation if you’re really concerned though.
Anywhere between 2:1 and 1:2 str:dex is extremely close damage wise. Any Bleeds and Poisons (which scale off attack and cannot crit) in your skill set will skew towards strength, while high base skill damage skews towards Dex.
Definitely favor dexterity if you want to pvp.
u will need 200 DEX for the end game~All other points can go for STR~
Which will conclude with around 1.5:1?
I am 190 atm and using 2:1 as well…But I found that my crit still not ok even with A2 buff~(255STR 137DEX)
So I believe 200 DEX is necessary~And maybe some CON too if want to do some challenge stuff~So I guess my end game will be around 1.25:1 …
1:1 STR:DEX is the most balanced. Not the highest damage for any particular skill but not the worst either, just a good balanced stat allocation that will perform well.
2:1 STR:DEX favors you if you use skills that do around 900-1500 skill damage most of the time.
2:1 DEX:STR favors you if you use skills that do around 2k damage most of the time.
FULL STR favors you if you use skills that have low base damage but hit a lot of times (like multishot, level 1 oblique, etc.)
FULL DEX favors you if you use skills that have enourmous base damage (cannoneer skills, snipe from musketeer, etc.)
so really, just ask yourself what your bread and butter skill is, and optimize your STR:DEX ratio for that. If you don’t know or don’t particularly care, 1:1 STR:DEX is the most balanced build you can go with.
Source (my calculations):
I think you’re missing the 400% attack multiplier on snipe in your table.
And what about aa builds?
