if you would be relying mostly on your skills wouldn't focus be better than strength. But really I don't know, I suck outlander.

If your going to be using chaos burst your going to want focus. Same, with any glaive build a lot of people thing it's related to Str, but if you read it, it state's that it does poison damage, so focus is the most viable for most outlanders. The way i distributed my points was 2 dex 1 focus and 2 vit. Seem's pretty decent right now.

Does anyone know if these skills are really based off focus?

Only reason why I am asking is because I have only been doing stre / dex / vit on my outlander and my glaives get stronger and stronger.

I dont know

We need test with : 15pt in poison burst + 15pt master of elements

look damage, and put 10 pt in Focus instead of 10 pt in Strengh, maybe we gonna see damage increase more than strengh

Focus also increase excute chance... So if you are going double pistol its better.

This, i tested it myself with 2 characters i just modded em to 100 then checked it out back and forth and i saw a difference, chaos burst also has poison damage at max and it will help the "Magic Damage"(which is: Burning, poison, freezing etc) just test it yourself on 2 different characters and see for yourself

Does Master of Element increase Poison Burst damage, and therefore boost your dps?
