[Monk Stats] Str versus Dex main stat

Class and Rank Cleric
#1

Hi everyone

I created this topic to talk about monk stats, but this topic could be useful for any melee class.

I am not sure what it would be better.
For example, at “max” level 200, how do these stats look better?

I mean these stats with its bonus etc, final version

  • 200str, 80con that is like 2:1 str:con and enough points in dex only for accuracy or with gears.

  • 100/150 dex, 80/50con and rest str, to try to get a good crit rate in monk

so, what do you think about this possibilities?

Edit: after testibg both ways, 100/150 dex its the best for a monk I think, so 50/100 con and 1:1 str/dex

No such thing as best gears for accuracy, especially for monk if you went the priest route. Blessing/sacrament + cafrisun set offers way too much damage to give up for accuracy.

#3

No hehe, I went c2/diev2/monk now, so I dont have accuracy or crit skills

#4

At the moment, (Im not ingame so im not 100% sure :stuck_out_tongue: ) on arround lvl 140 something, I have

160 STR
40CON
75 DEX

I feel my auto’s are “ok”. Not great, not amazing. The double Punch is what it’s all about. When I crit with it, I mostly do 1400x2 dmg, providing i switched to the right weapon. I’m going for 100dex and then start pumping more STR or maybe even some con. We’ll see when I get there. Right now I have arround 8k health.

And what is the % ratio of yours crits? I mean, more or less how many crits do you do? More than normal hits or less?

Then you recommend str as main stat but dex very close to it for crits, right? Then rest for Con

#6

Im lvl 104 priest 3. Im going 2:1 dex str and im starting to level some con now.

With121 dex and crit gear, my crits are already hunting bad. 1 soloed a lvl 140+ player. It was some swordsman class.

#7

So your crits do not hit often, is that what you mean?

#8

Sorry, i meant hurting bad. I crit often and hard.

#9

You recommend double dex than str, ok. I am doing full str now, at level 70 I hit like 300, of course no crits at all haha

#10

Well, when I myself was testing possible str builds for my Paladin(Back in icbt2), I’ve decided to make a video to test how good the str scaling gets comparing to Crits;
The skill I tested with is Conviction, from Paladin, that deals 2 hits, just like DP and had a similar base damage back then.
From that experiment, I’ve realised that(IN MY OPINION) having a bit higher STR than DEX was a better option(Followed up by +Crit Rate equips), as well as going Full into any of those stats isn’t as much of a good choice either.
Do remember that the skill’s attribute is at 40% for both of these videos.

Yes, I think I will do that, like stop spending points in Str, and put them on dex and con.
Could you tell me about +Crit Rate gears?

#12

It’s those Green Gems you can socket into your equips, I think their +Crit bonus goes up to 32 or 22, when they’relike lv4 or 5. Whichis effectively 32/22 Dex worth of crit rate per gem.

#13

Only gems? Isnt there any equip which has its own +crit rate?

#14

At the moment with no crit gear and 75 Dex, i do not crit alot. But like I said, i’m planning to keep dumping in statpoints towords Dex and get myself some Crit gears and see where this takes me. The crits that ARE comming out, hit like a truck, so I want more of that.

And with 40 con right now I have 7800 hp while wearing plate armors, so I feel that it’s enough for now. I can feel safe building up my DEX.

#15

i believe that monks need around 135-150dex in lvl 280

What is your current level?
But yes, I thought that, you need crit rates gears or crits are not comming out. That sis why I was thinking about full str with low dex for accuracy.

And I dont think I am going to level up more than 200 levels hehe, but thanks for that ratio

#17

u know im lvl ing up for monk class so im planing to have around 20 to 30 dex and rest 2:1 str con i think that works best cause there are equips with crit rate but it all depends on ure play style and monk skills depend on str but its just my opinion and im hoping to get an enlightment from this topic too

#18

Being honest, that is my idea too, the problem with that is I dont know how many dex I need for pvp. Ppl is going with high dex values so 20/30 dex maybe its not enough accuracy for pvp. I dont want to miss my hits at all hehe

#19

well i have thought about that too and its choice off youre play style do u want to auto att or do u want to use skills i prefer skills so im gonna go with the str build if no one brings good options

#20

No no, monk’s skills are affected by crits, I mean if you use double punch or another skill, they can hit crits
