Swordsman dex question

Class and Rank Swordsman
#1

Currently Im going a main str C3 highlander build with plate armor mostly for pvp/tank in late game, I currently have about 2:1 str/dex ratio as I want to dodge some attacks and ofc land my strikes, I also have some con so I can be a better tank in instance dungeons, also ill need con late game i assume con is important for pvp

i got a bit confused when I read melee paladin build saying full str no dex, how important is dex to a str based melee dps? any info you guys got on swordsman and dex wud be really helpful

thanks =)

No DEX = no Critical rates = not even a chance to make attacks go crit

No STR = no Critical attack = you may always do crits but your crits don’t feel like crits at all.

#3

You need around 250-300 crit rate to have some sort of consistency with critical chance, afaik.

The less circles you spend on Hoplite, the more DEX you’ll need to reach that crit rate.

Ah I see cool thanks!

nooooo dude
crits add 50% of dmg so even with low crit atack, u have weapon dmg and skill dmg

#9

For further clarification:

Critical damage is equal to your regular damage + 50% and then that damage plus your critical attack which is increased by STR and some gear/gems.

So critical hits always do atleast 50% more damage but STR increases both the regular damage and final added critical attack on thee critical hits.

#10

but the max u can get is 800 base dmg if u go full str. or u can get 500 + around 25-40% crit chance. now add that to the skill dmg + 100% attribute and u have a lot more dmg

#11

The 100% attribute still adds 100% with no crit and 100% increase on 800 would be 1600… 150% increase on 500 would be 1250… and that 1250 would only be 40% of the time… so the other 60% of the time with no crits it’d be 1000…

!!skill dmg!!, dude if u really believe that no crit is the way to go, go for it, u can always reset stats later on

ill do some simple math here, i usualy just ignore this kind of situation but i’m in good mood…
(weapon+full STR+cyclone base dmg)*100% attribute
(600+800+1300)*2=5400
(600+500+1300)*2=4800 x 1,5=7200+crit atack 340 = 7540 dmg 30-40% of the time, with 4800 dmg 60%-70%

now if u add deeds of valor the crit goes to

8200 full STR
7000 with dex + 10800 crits 30-40% of the time

now if u do 100 hits, ful STR u have 820.000 dmg
full dex u have around 852.000 total dmg, a bit less if u consider less crit rate

u can say that the dmg is the same, but in the end u will have (pure dmg) vs (more dmg + accuracy + dodge)

and if u get higher level green gems the dmg will be a lot better for crit

#13

I never said that no crit is the way to go and there is no option for stat reset available ingame.
