Hi ya and welcome.
________________

@ NeVv: yes those items are nice even for those levels... quick question (well sort of)
... Charm Tier level.... Character Level ... and Proficiency Level:
Does it matter what Tier Lvl the charm is if you want to increase the Proficiency of that Charm.
Example: Rank10 Heal... Level 15 Character using a TierIV Heal (level 5 of course)

The reason why I am asking, is because I want to if I can still gain Prof Points with lower tier items for charms... it may also be a faster way to get those ranks up... if it works like that.

@jlhromeo: I know... If only the items were higher level... but what the hey... they can fetch me some more fg... (if I do not use them)

welcome to •.(>^.^)>.•

if you have any questions or need some advice, feel free to ask here or PM me!

@ izParagonzi: the tier level does not affect proficiency, it is all relative to your proficiency level and the level of monsters you are fighting (i believe, nev can confirm)

HELLLLLLOOOOOOOO (>^.^)>

hello

Hey guys,
I play babas

But;
I always put my stats into str

the first 10 (or 11 now :P) went into Vita
and the rest into str

Shouldn't I pump my dex up a bit?

and what exactly does dex do?

Dexterity: Increases your chance to critical hit, and damage dealt when you critical hit. It also reduces damage when enemies critical hit you. The effects are subject to a diminishing return formula.

usually, with barbs, either go ALL STR or ~110-120 DEX (with gear @ 55,) rest STR. I prefer the ALL str route on a barb, and just swing away with a big meaty axe.

you could try both routes, adding some to str/dex and then adding all str and just do a rough compare/contrast. this idea has been debated for a long time on LS and there is no "right" way to do it.

k thx m8 =D

I tried the ALL STR route... it was good for Catas... but not for Arena.
Option: Buy DEX gear (cheaper) and pump Strength...

I have only been doing Arena... and I have noticed the big difference in surviving by just going Dexterity... remember... this is doing Arena... not Catacombs... it may vary... but you will also see some drivers in cata asking how much Dexterity you have... I am guessing that they may kick you if you have little (this is an assumption)...

I agree that all str route sux @ arena.

I just need a clear guild for Dex xD

it does differ in arena vs catacombs, so you need to figure out where you will be spending most of your time. arena mobs have higher DEX than catacomb mobs and therefore hit for higher crits, leading to you needing some DEX to counteract that. i have never seen anyone be kicked for having too low DEX, i think it's more they are just curious how much you have and how you stat'ed your character. i have seen pure VIT barbs in catacombs, and they dont get kicked.

basically, if you do mostly arena, add some dex because at higher lvls their crits will hurt if you have no dex.

mostly catacombs, go pure STR, you wont need to worry about getting critted.
