Honestly people who harp dex is full of it.
dex builds require very specific equipment, and requirements. Otherwise you fail hard.
In the world of stat reset scrolls and skill reset scrolls, it’s great, since you can just change when you feel like changing, but on release, once you hit a wall, you hit that wall hard.
evade and crit is good when you’re above or near the level of the monster, but once you’re under it, you’re just going to get shredded, and hit an impossible wall. Double that if you have magic/debuff/archer monsters. Nothing like getting eaten without even a chance to drink a potion or run.
Since it seems higher level focuses on PT play, having balance stats or hybrids is a lot more promising then pure dex. You’re not going to dodge much, and when you can dodge it, it’s not worth the dodge, compared to when you can’t dodge it, and can’t even react for the healer to heal.
Barb’s are fairy feasible, since they can rely on natural abilities but I don’t see other classes even attempt full dex. But even then, full dex is pretty underwhelming on higher levels, especially when you consider a hybrid barb can probably do just as well, and not need super specific gear (some gems and natural skills don’t need massive crit rate, nor evades)
Unless you got a priest with you, really, dex people just go splatt…really splatt, unless they’re vasely over leveled, and just there for an ez run.
I feel that cbt people are really spoiled by the rampant icoins and lack of long term thinking.
it’s like RO crit-sins where they just go completely worthless hitting a wall once the content catches up. There’s just no fixing things like hybrids.
And honestly you don’t need that much dex to hit stuff…oh wait, those vubbe gloves…why are you still using it >.>
