So in my build I wanted to go like 200 points on CON and the remaining on STR, but as I could see havin small amounts of points on STR is not as worth as havin them on DEX.
Atm I still want to put straight 200 points on CON to have a nice amount of HP, for the remaining (around 100 points if I’m not mistaken) I’m undecided if I want to put them on STR or on DEX.
So in general for this tank build (SW > Pelt3 > Rod3 > Murmillo):
High CON and STR vs High CON and DEX, which is better for you?
High CON + a Shield + Swordsman block bonus + Peltasta block attributes/high guard means that evasion will be a practically useless stat for you. Accuracy is generally a non-factor for PVE. So all you’re looking at here is crit rate vs. attack, crit attack, and block pen, with the Swordsman +30% str-to-attack bonus.
Crit rate is an interesting stat at high levels. You will always need a minimum of X - enemy crit resist to crit AT ALL - say that number is 200 at level 330 (I haven’t done the math), that would mean that until you get to 200 crit rate, crit rate does NOTHING for you. I feel that as we reach higher and higher ranks, if your build does not invest heavily in DEX or have some inherent way to increase crit rate, you’re better off going no DEX at all.
Murmillo also relies primarily on low base damage skills with very high multipliers. People say multi-hit skills scale better with STR and high damage single hit skills scale better with DEX, but this is equally true for skills with high multipliers. Effectively every point of STR adds 1.3 attack to a Swordsman which adds 22.75 damage to single hit Peltasta skills, 13.65 damage to single hit Rodelero skills, and 11.375 damage per hit to Shooting Star and Butterfly. With 100 points invested in STR + bonus points from every X stat allocated + the rank 8 bonus, you gain about 220 STR, which translates to 5,000 more damage on Pelt skills, 3,000 on Rodelero skills, and 2,500 damage per hit on your multi-hits.
Unless there’s some new gear that really pumps up crit rate so that even a Swordsman with no Finestra and low DEX investment can dish out a respectable number of crits, I think you’re better off dumping 100 points in STR than DEX.
i hope this not end up like the other one =]
Wow, thank you very much for all the detailed infos 
.
Also I thought that havin not too much STR wouldn’t be as effective as havin low DEX.
I mean I didn’t think to skills like high guard that pratically will make that low crit rate you got from few points on DEX not useful at all.
Another thing I thought could’ve been good about DEX is that with Murmillo, havin high base damage from his skills, that low chance of doing a crit could’ve done better than few points on STR.
I hope other people will join the discussion and tell their own opinions as you did, I’ve to say it helped me a lot.
Well, I hope it too xD
1 str 1 con 1 dex
simple as that and what we’ve been introduced is complicated math and flames lmao
I don’t think it would be good, I mean you wouldn’t focus on specific stat and you wouldn’t benefit from it.
Especially in this case, where to be a solid tank, you need High CON which means 200+ points in CON, at this point you’ll have just 80-100 points to play with so they go either in STR or DEX.
