With the new changes to headgear and gems will it generally be better now to spec to full DEX and simply use Physical Attack hair costumes and red gems on the weapon or will Hybrid stat splits and green gems on the weapons still be better, anyone have an rough idea, thank you.
I’d say dex and red gems. My reasoning is that the stat total you get from red gems are too high compared to green gems and statting str.

@reilet I was going to call you but you replied already.
I cannot be sure, dex & red (even though red gem is just Max Atk) seem nice. I would keep your greens since you already gemmed them.
Please mind their decision:
From Q&A
Q1. SPR and INT don’t seem to be as effective as other stats in the game. Any plans to address this?
We agree, so we did make a few plans to address stat effectiveness.
Starting with the INT and STR stats, we are currently undergoing internal tests to improve their effects.
In the case of SPR, however,
instead of increasing the effects of the stat in itself, we focused more on improving how certain skills scale with it (particularly skills in the Cleric class tree.)
Ok thanks, my first thought was to respec to full dex and switch to red gems aswell but I wasn’t sure about the math. Even with double sissels, max peta, nearly 300 dex and x2 lv6 green gems you see my critical rate unbuffed is still only 537.
If I respec from 287STR / 295DEX will that additional DEX cover the 64 crit I will lose on the green gems?
The way i see their future changes to stat growth is that they have to do something crazy that’ll make the red/blue/yellow gems look small or else it’s whatever.
The new gems are like, assuming you have 3-4 gems, a good 1-2k attack already.
They can’t really make STR be equal to the gains of the gems because crit rate is harder to get. To me, STR scaling has to be higher than the gems.
64 crit rate is around 40 more statted dex from where you’re at? I think. (From 295 dex)
Tbh, archers can still go hybrid in stats and still have really high crit rate while using red gems
But, like what grey said, I would hold on the green gems incase they do something rediculous to Stat growth.

Stay bruhh!! According to the new KToS patch, they re-new the values of green gems starting at lv3, so pretty sure crit rate will be good again, too bad they are only giving us 14 days stat reset potion (1) and probably got IMC’ed again when they start doing patch again about stats.
Ya idk, I was ahead of the curb on my stats, I copied the Korean hybrid split awhile back while the majority of NA servers were still obsessed with full STR I’m just concerned b/c of this absurd expiration date on the stat reset. I used my founder’s access and event stat resets ages ago on other characters, seeing as how this is only the 3rd one we have gotten since the game came out I wanna use it wisely is all.
You are able to retrieve reset potion later (the 14 days expiration will only start counting when it is in character inventory, right?). I hope this way will cheat 14 + 14 day extension.
Just hope is NOT a lie:
Stat Reset Potion (14 Days ) will be given. The item can be claimed from the mailbox until November 15th 23:59 PM, 2016.
Retrieve pot on Nov 15th => expiration on Nov 29th?
Ya what scares me with that is, its IMC, we’ve had items vanish from our mail boxes early on several occasions before, I trust them holding an item about as much as I would asking Lindsay Lohan to guard my cocaine.

again, if you bothered looking into the thread before feeling like you have a right to an opinion, youd see someone complaining about the subject i brought up

It’s very simple math.
Don’t worry too much about it right now. Unless you’re a whale sitting with 300m in your Token exclusive storage you won’t be able to upgrade your items to the point where end game becomes trivial.
The simple goal of gems is to balance out your weaknesses. A simple google search of the game’s mechanics and maybe 10 minutes of sipping coffee and thinking it through is the best answer here.
Green gems are yet to be altered, because IMC is aware how much people easily achieve their critical caps with them, even at 330 against the most hardened critical resist monsters.
I’d focus on trying to make your character survive, but then again transcending weapons already seems to be making a lot of content trivial with what I’d like to call “entry level end-game weapons”, because it’s way too powerful. However, it’s only for whales.
Well truth is nobody did complain bout free potion, they were rather worried it will disappear and worried that after using it their stats get messed up again when new str and int gets their rework. Which is highly related to the topic of restating to dex and taking red gems. shrugs

As of 1:50AM I am leaning towards yellow gems now for the stable critical attack damage increase, the red gems are starting to look kinda dicey with that big RNG factor. In my experience anything RNG is LPNG for me (lowest possible number generator).
