Need some build advice, Rank 6/7, STR vs DEX

Class and Rank Swordsman
#1

Hey Guys,

I am a new player to Tree of Savior and am leveling my swordie at a pretty decent rate. Currently I am a Swordsman>Highlander>Barbarian 2 at level 102. I planned then to go Corsair 2 for Hexen Dropper. After which I originally wanted to go Doppel but recently seem tempted by the Shinobi, have yet to 100% decide. I didnt really know what to expect at first for the classes and it seems Highlander and Barb are focused on massive damage through skills while Corsair focuses on basic atacks (?) Perhaps someone can enlighten me on an optimal path to take for Rank 6/7 based on the info above.

But now to the main question at hand —

Currently my stats are as follows: STR 136, CON 25, INT 2, SPR 3, DEX 18 (level 102).
I have been doing a 8 STR/1 Con/Dex allocation.

At this point I have hit a wall as in what I want to do next, mainly due to the lack of info I can find on the subject, as well as my struggle above haha. So far my high STR build has been doing great as I can one shot most mobs but I fear it may not be great for the future, especially if I decide to go Shinobi (?) I have read that STR does not scale that great into late game opposed to dex (evasion, crit rate) and that you can make up for any lack of STR by using equipment with crit attack on a dex build. This has confused me as it makes STR seem lackluster to Dex, even though I seem to be preforming well. So now I ask you, based on my possible class choices above and current stats, would it be more efficient to;

  1. Continue going my HIGH STR route to end game. (Click for stats)

  2. Change to a full DEX build from level 102 onward. (Click for stats)

  3. Finish off with an even STR/DEX ratio

or

  1. Reroll/Your Opinion

Any help on the matter would be greatly appreciated as I can stop research and continue leveling :stuck_out_tongue: and thanks for taking the time to read my post,
