The Ratio is 10/90 of str and dex.

You should have base str of the character and like 200 dex if you want to come anywhere close to hitting optimal or maximize damage with dagger.

Use your brain.

Did I get this right, you took less damage with 2nd (str) setup?

This is using my existing char's -- were I to start from lvl1 under the new criteria, i am sure the results would appear different.

I also suggest you tone down your attitude when talking to me

I saw this too..........

Daggertest:

Ricks Setup 1:
96 Str
152 Dex
Dagger: -> 96*0,1+152*0,9 = 146,4
Avg Dam: 499
499/146,4 = 3,408

Ricks Setup 2:
127 Str
107 Dex
Dagger: ->127*0,1+107*0,9 = 109
Avg Dam: 391
391/109 = 3,587

The values Damage/Combined Stats dont fit as good as last time (~5% difference), but this may be because of the monsters defense. Still, the error is not that big.

Damage taken:

Setup 1:
avg damage taken: 36,85

Setup 2:
avg damage taken: 18,81

These Values differ A LOT! Especially if the higher avg damage received was with the str-setup. There might be a mistake?I dont know why, maybe because of the monsters and damage type.

Rick: how many different monsters did you fight, and what armor-values do you have?

Big thx again for this test! I am sure this one will help all of us

i hope ur not exploring the maze and just running in the black so eps dont mess the numbers up

How about you trying something similar rather than bitching about it

I think you've had the same sig/ava for like 3 years

def has been the same since i played LS a few years ago

how the fuck was i bitching? i was just trying to make sure your information was equal
and ill assume you were just running around the maze there fore ur numbers mean nothing
