the rate at which you get crit for dex is now based on the ratio, you will get it per str/dex ratio.

Like I am gonna do ratio figuring while I am fighting

i valuie dex more just because it doesnt only help raw damage but crits and defense vs crits

thx for the test

would be perfect if u could include damage taken next time

Lvl 50 Samurai using a 151EE dagger

Str vs Dex comparisons after approx 100 actions on each charm

104 actions
Using the dex charm, total dmg 51,879, (266//499//1068)
183 hits for 6,744 dmg taken
Str 96, Dex 152


100 actions
Using the str charm, total dmg 39,092, (0//391//916)
Str 127, Dex 107
136 hits for 2558 dmg taken

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
