Why full INT or STR

Class and Rank
#1

So in this game, if you have a very strong weapon, most of the damage will come from it. If this is the case, what is the purpose of going full STR or INT in PvE?

I understand that some STR is needed for accuracy, but why is there never an archer or swordsman build that focuses on SPR? As far as I know none of the skills from archer and swordsman scale from SPR, but SPR solves their low SP pool and recovery problem.

Same thing with cleric and wizard builds. I know full SPR wiz/cleric builds are common, but still, why do some people go full INT?

Thanks.

STR is used to some stats too like bleeding, also, poison don’t crit (or shouldn’t crit) so STR is it’s main power too.

INT increase some buffs strength (Swell both arms, Enchant Fire/Lightning, increase Heal power/damage cure also is affected by it and so on…).

If you remove all your weapon(s) and gear you can see how much STR/INT give to your matt/patt power I don’t think it’s that insignificant.

But there are builds that are based on other stats too.

Also some cards give you SP when you kill something, you can go with that instead of messing up your char.

For the normal dps builds there is not “enough attack”. (farmers are different)

Your EleLock has 10.000 M.Atttack? Nice, why not 2k more with full INT (inc gear)?

My Mergen has some SPR from gears for better SP management :smiley:

I know lots of Swordsmen and Archers actually go mix DEX and STR. I have a Linker3 and I don’t see DEX or STR going 400+ often

Hm… I was using the stat simulation from tosgbase. Seems like an elem-warlock with 400 raw points in INT at lv360 only give about 900 MATK. Well I guess this 900 can be significant with skills that have huge skill factor like shadow thorn.

Yeah. It is not completely fair specially thinking other rare items but it is how things are. The funny thing is the gear nowadays are giving tons of stats and even that doesn’t help so much, and without it you would feel that mobs are very strong.

I think r10 mobs might became difficult , not sure if it is 100% intended or when we reach that , there will be also a global rebalance

#7

This should be plausible answer.
Same goes with pardoners or thaumas or some clerics with full SPR
Never have enough powerful buffs/heals

and this game is one of those DPS race anyway.

You get exactly 25 MATK from 10 INT, so 1000 if you go full INT (you can roughly invest 400 points). That doesn’t seem to be a lot when you have 8-10k, but when you start to fight monsters with high MDEF, it can make a big difference. For example in late stages when you do Challenge Mode.
