I know DEX got nerfed, but the scaling from STR is so low on most moves (unless it hits like 10+ times) that I still feel like dex is the way to go, since crit damage scales really well.
Are crits hard to land on enemies at 200+? What about in PvP?
I’m curious about that too
PvE - Dex is really good, you crit more, dodge more, and it also increases accuracy.
PvP - Dodging none mage classes is possible, you have high acc to take out high eva classes, but you won’t crit as much unless you run around with 300 crit rate + 150 from buffs. People are able to get 150+ crit resistance, so if you do the math let’s say your base crit rate is 150 - the 150 crit resistance, its likely you won’t crit at all.
I’m a mixed build with 255 dex atm.
With all evasion bffs i can get (not rouge) i can have 800 evasion in a party with a priest.
Dodgeing wise, i dodge (with 700 evasion) around 60~70% o the archer mob shots. And about 90~100% of he normal physical mobs. I can tank siauli mission bosses when im buffed up …
So as long as theres no magic mobs im good at surviving.
What do i do when i hit magic mobs… Party. Get some people to have fun with you. Better exp, easyer quests and if you’re lucky you find a priest xD.
Crit dps scales good. I do crit about 80% of the time.
The calcuaion is ((crit rate- crit restiance )*42)/ your level.
So as logn as you have 2,4 times ~3 times your level on crit rate. You’re totaly good.
As archer 3 with swiftstep buff.
I can easily go over 500 crit rate at level 201. (one green gem in my arde dagger +29 crit rate).
Going full str or full dex isnt recommended.
Get some con.
Get a good amoutn of dex.
Get a medium amount of str.
And you will be happy.
…I aggro bosses 98% of the time … except if we have a good tank.

About pvp… still beta.
But as logn as its not a cryo2 or an priest 3… i can just kill them before they get to me.
A twinshot is a killer move against cloth type players.
And fulldraw locks you to the ground…
ut yes, it’s easyer for magic type players … still.

How much STR are you rolling with right now?
How’s the crits vs players?
Against non con i crit most of the times.
Against full con tanks and mages it’s a coin flip to crit them.
When i have 500 crit rate and they have around 250 crit resitance.
It would be 250*42/200 = 52,5 % crit chance still (pvp in the match area is set to level 200 stats).
That is when they dont have anymore crit resitance elsewhere.
Atm 75 str, 40 con and 250+ dex at level 201.
Where ranks give bonus str … so i used about 40 str or so atm and 30 con or so. WIll up str again, when im past the heavy archer mob area.
Interesting…
I’m currently following a build that recommends 200Dex to 100STR to a little SPR and CON and I am also wondering how useful the DEX is in PVE and PVP.
Currently I have 110 dex 55 STR like 20 CON 10SPR (including item buffs)
I must admit as level 109 this feels pretty average. The crit rate seems to be like 30% chance. So I am hoping at high level it is better.
Get green gems xD…
and if you’re not an archer class. Critting is a bit harder.
How are you fairing against mobs 220+?
Can you dodge as much since those guys hit hard.
Two gems for weapon? Yeah I’m melee.
