Brandon!

I'll be able to get on Vent sometime as soon as I get in a house.
Was having money problems for awhile with the family and been living a bunch of different places,
but should be getting into a place this weekend finally

so may go inactive for a few days while moving.


& Congrats on +1 Dennis

Nice!
That would be great

dont worry about it, just hope everything works out for you

i got sound on my comp now maybe i can pull off getting a mic =D

Trying to test a theory

Do you guys think that from 105 Dex to 118 Dex would be a large quantity of Critical difference ?
Or perhaps only a small difference ?

from what i here you want to be at 120-130, i normally tried to stick at 120 but this time i'm goin 130

i also did a bucnh of my mq's on my pally with a 212ee axe and 24% LS between my arm and charm but had no plus to stats

so i ended up doing it with like 76 dex and probably 85+ str

i was able to go pretty much no regen with that

120-130 seems pretty solum.

I have been testing the difference between this armor:

Legendary tattered padded robe
Defense: 0 to 2

+40 Dexterity
+1 Life Regen
+1 Extra Item Slots
+1 Critical Strike
+1 to 2 Life per Attack
+5% Physical Damage Reduction
+1% Magical Damage Reduction

Which on Monk from 1-40 it puts me at 105 Dexterity

and from 40-71 I use this armor:

Angelic wyvernskin robe
Level Req: 40
Defense: 0 to 15

+53 Dexterity
+4 Vitality
+11 Critical Strike
+1 to 6 Mana per Kill

Which puts me at 118 Dexterity from stats, but question is I was trying to find out how much the +11 Critical Strike would push my Critical's.
Most people say 1 Critical Strike = 2 Dexterity.. which would put me right at 75 Dexterity Level 40 robe.
But does that mean 11 Critical Strike = 22 Dexterity and that it adds in secretly to my Dexterity modifiers ?

And I've noticed a difference between the Lvl 0 40 Dexterity and Level 40 53 Dexterity / 11 CS

Level 0 40 Dexterity -> I kill 2X monsters 7X hits total, I hit 2X Criticals of 1,200-1,300
Level 40 53 Dexterity / 11 CS -> I kill 2X monsters 5X hits total, I hit 3X Criticals of 1,300-1,500

Does the Critical strike really add in that well ?

Not to be rambling so much, was just curious how well the CS really adds in and if seriously puts me nearly 140 Dexterity total secretly with the dexterity modifiers

im not sure, i've always thought that critical strike just does the same as dex. personally though i love lifesteal, i'm trying to get as much life steal as i can and am willing to sacrifice some dex/str if needed

Rofl, Brandon will appreciate this most I think






On a serious note. I've got a doctors appointment tomorrow morning for this sore throat. I fear they may have to remove my tonsils. Wish me luck BPG.
