Didnāt Proxied posted how his low STR- high DEX performs in WB ?
Evasion build can tank while attacking because RNG when compared to fellow swordsmen (as STR - CON need to block from time to time or take some damage while going full STR needs excellent manual maneuver)
I believe with the same gear and level, evasion build tank churn more stable DPS against WB and stand a better chance to gain a cube
This is just sooo wrong haha. Itās the highest dps in your team that shares the cake with you (usually being a fletcher. WB doesnāt need a sword to tank. If you are a level 1 swordie partied with a WB Fletcher with good attribute you are going to get the cube.
Reference: when i went to dullahan as a low level swordie and partied a 280 fletcher vs other teams and we still got cube. (it was just me and him) vs 8 other teams LOL (i was just hiding at the side of the screen because of the crazy fps lag spike bomb going on)

on the other hand here is a full str doppleā¦ he hits hard and he said in even without accuracy you have 30% chances to hit so squishy archers are the first ones in die with cyclone or multi hit skills
im going full str with my dopple and full dex with my fencerā¦ well not fullā¦ with at least 50 con
You are missing (or not reading) the whole paragraph where I clearly said the comparison was among swordman ā¦
I assume you donāt understand so Iāll make it clearer.
In WB, among swordman, I believe a stable OFF-TANK Evasion built Swordman has a better chance in obtaining a cube compared to a full CON block type Tank Swordman or a full hit and run STR Swordman assuming they have the same level and gear AND without interference/help from other classes (Cleric buff, Wizz + Archer DPS)
Strictly 3 teams, with each 1 type of sword man and WB only drop 1 cube
No i got it, but there is never a time where you are going to be alone, and if there is 3 groups all 3 groups have a high chance of getting it unless only 2 groups deal the most damage out of 3 ( top 7). But letās just say out of some super random chance that the worldboss drops only 1 cube. And only 3 swordsman are present. Full Con, Off-tank evasion build, and high str. Sorry to bust your bubbles but the high str is going to take the cake.
Here is the scenario if those 3 where at a challenge then either that full con is going to tank or everyone closes their provoke attribute with no tauntā¦ guess what boss gonna chase high str if he isnt circling which means you are going to be chasing after him. Makes sense? in both scenario the high str is going to take the lead in damage.
By what you are saying it seems that you assume that high str are facetanking instead of moving around worldboss or just hitting and running like wild chicken (in which i would say those guys clearly dont know what they are doing), if you mean in terms of standing still and hitting while not moving then itās going to be full con, evasion followed by high str (since you are standing there you will be hit by magic).
Unless i am still not getting what scenario you are trying to make please do provide one. (survival comes down to stratagies, unless all 3 are noobs then evasion would win)
Edit: I havenāt played all styles of swordies, maybe there are some that do really well with dex such as fencers then others. I guess it comes down to how your build works, from experience anything with highlander c2, c3, hoptile c2,c3, Shinobi, and Corsairs c2, c3 should go High str to utilize their skills. From others experience Dopples also should go high str.
The point of DEX is laughing at your melee opponents trying to kill you on Battle League throwing you all their best skills (Cyclone,Rush etc), and they still fail. Thatās the best part of it. Evasion is the answer.
Unless they too are dex or geared well (90% of the time) then youāre fked

Different things different ways. TBL is not the same as PVE and 1 v 1.
Well in TBL i havenāt met alot of swordies so canāt really tell. So far i havenāt had any āmissā. Will try at 4pm and if i meet a swordie iāll ask what he is utilizing (dex or str)

lol assuming I didnāt the read thread got triggered much?
oh and please explain why dex swordsman are a special breed?
Iām in varena server Iām a pyrokino user though but if you really wanna walk the talk then youāre welcome to challenge me not that itāll prove anything anyway.
I am sorry but itās obvious you havenāt play dex-built swordman from this line,
because full CON will not do enough or even any damage at all against bosses in WB or for the simplest example in Siaulai
against most boss DEX sword will be facetanking together with CON but any good CON player will stop to guard making their DPS stutter - att-att-block-block-block
Any good STR will be running around or they will be dead first
from this simple situation you should grasp the idea of which ones contribute better to DPS against bosses, either STR or DEX.
BUT while STR have to evade manually DEX could just pray in RNG and continue to attack
If imagining WB with this settings is too hard, go to Siaulai mission for the simplest example on 3 swordman type
PS: Hop1,2,3 is a versatile class, High DEX is also viable built for that. Finestra isnāt maxed in this build tho, Stabbing is the main skill for this build

hau, can you record your cata in siau or any boss? To show this people we DEX player could literally tank and go AFK without even worry about dying while churning out skills as their CD hit 0
Siaulai/dungeon
i can confirm my DEX Fencer have much easier time than my STR Hoplite and STR highlander
random party dont always have Pelt/Rode
and even there is another Swordsman, they are not always having Pelt in their build
none of my Swordsman are tank build, but i have 50 CON on all of them, when i m force to tank, i.e. no other ābetter tankā in party, i feel less pressure with DEX
even there is a dedicate tank, i will still have to run like a monkey in my STR swordsman due to some spammer type boss
i could confirm my STR is hitting harder, more burst, but i could also confirm my DEX have better survival and in some case better sustain output
DEX an STR out put is very situational, for boss that i dont have to tank, and no AOE/missile type skill spamming, STR does do higher out put, but on the other hand when tanking is needed/or Boss spam AOE or skill like apple throwing, my DEX definitely out DPS my STR
but at the end, no matter DEX or STR swordsman, they always get out DPS by archer and wizard
