Alright alright, that’s curious still as all of those take an stance/buff, it jsut made sense in my head.
How facinating to say at least, ah IMC you and your mysterious ways.
Also, no need to to the @ if you are already replying to that person.
@XTricksX
It seems like 1.8 because your damage Variance is also increased by 50% allowing you to hit more then your flat dmg number + skill +50%
(unless your using Fencer)
I’m on my phone so some times it ■■■■■ that up xD
It told me that I didn’t reply to anyone, so I @ tagged you to make sure
Since Swordman gets auto STR and is actually difficult to find items with inherent +DEX than +STR, isn’t going mid-STR High DEX is better ?
With High STR+low DEX using evasion defense with Finestra that lowers evasion increases risk, so there’s no point going for Evasion defense unless you evasion is capped or you have someone else as main tank

I’m the opposite, I absolutely love Pelt since I’m more of a PvE person than PvP. I only do PvP in FPS games.
More Eva = always good for me
It depends on your build. For instance highlander have crossguard that synergises well the more str you have. Also higj dex wont save you from monsters with high accuracy and magic. Lets not forget that you actually waste alot of points going high dex for only 363 while str gives you 585, this should have already indicated that no matter how much dex you pump you wont really have a good synergy of evasion and damage. But as i said in the beginning it depends on your build. If you want to go tank then dex and con is for you. However just remember that as a tank you cant do anything in gvg, pvp, worldboss, earth tower ect.
Concentrate scaling with high dex will not be worth it i think. Too low scaling and too low dex compared with high str.
Guardian on the other hand

Is Dex at all important in PvP? I’m leveling a typical catagoon pvp build (hoping to lancer once R8) comes out and not sure if Dex is needed for PvP or if I should just have str and con?
Yes it is important if you want to hit pvp swordies and archers.
any amount that’s recommended or mandatory? Not sure if I should be a dex or str heavy build for PvP (or middle of the road).
Unless your near full DEX swordie youed never have enough DEX to crit in the late game…
But going full STR will get you killed… so… you know…
Personally I think that the survivability that dex offers is great, but its an unreliable way to get high DPS without heavy gear and stat investment…
And for me its ALWAY Survivability > DPS but only you can decide which is mo valuable for you

With the patch today, STR just got a lot more efficient for Swordsman.
All: Block penetration will now increase based on STR stats.
Swordsman: The increment for attack per STR stat will be increased by 30%.
STR > DEX hands down on Swordsman.
Expanding on what you said, if anyone is going Hoplite, absolutely don’t go DEX. Every Hoplite has Finestra, which does a lot of what DEX does anyway. With the recent patch it is clear STR is the main Swordsman skill, at least when it comes to DPS.
You think this con/dex dopp has wet noddle damage??
That 15k skyliner looks cool
We know this information for awhile now. Str is more valuable now but i prefer dex cuz it is pvp build so i do 1:1.
No one said high dex would deal noddle damage, what was said is full str and high str deals better damage. If you did this with a str/con you would do much much more damage, also didn’t you notice you are getting hit 80% of the time ? (by that fisherman alone where as the others didnt even miss). In pvp dex would help you hit, but not evade those archer, magic casters. Also if you invest alittle dex with high str you will be able to hit in pvp as well. As i said adding dex over str doesn’t scale well with swordsman.
sorry to say this but…today’s patch did not implement that for some reason: server time 5:26 AM
