well, this climb i was already at lvl 20ish when i bought gear, so i statt'ed some to dex that i did not need.
next climb im gonna go with either 100 or 110 dex, and jack STR up some more. should help the avg a wee bit, but this is kicking ass so far.

i told you a while back that i'd do some tests on my ninja to compare dex builds vs pure str builds
well, tests as in climbing with different builds. was wondering if there'd be a noticeable difference in the builds. turns out there's a minuscule change but that could be due simply to randomness of the rolls on my dagger.
also i didnt have much a huge difference in dex between the two builds, sorry about that. my mq charm has 15dex already :/ the top climb was using base dex.
anyways, jsut in case you were interested.
183-194str/85dex build:
levels 60-71
1769 actions
average damage: 601
169-179str/100dex build
levels 61-71
1333 actions
average damage: 595
I've done similiar tests and had people send me some data like this before and it's conclusive with your data in the most part. Going pure str seems to almost always yield a better result.
How much EE did your dagger have?
136ee + 7prof
Huh, if your dagger had like 40 more EE , the difference in damage would probably be of like 100-150 more.
tl;dr: more str gives better damage
and you don't need the crit-defence at the back of a group anyways. STR STR STR
