the new update makes us think a bit more of where to place the stat points..so....

not sure if this helps anyone out but here's what i can come up with:

for your stat points: per type of build for melee

swords: 75% str, 25% dex

clubs: 90 % str 10% dex

axes: 50% str 50% dex

daggers 10% str 90% dex

staves: 25% str 75% dex

to get optimal dmg: the combination of your gear that you equip and your stat points should be balanced within those guide lines at all times to reach maximum dmg. we've tested it, and it seems to follow this trend.

still working on casters...should still be intel mainly..but will test a few theories next climb or so and will report back to you.

yep that's it!

here's where you all can find the info straight from Paul:

it says it under each weapon the str/dex ratio that you need to use.

love how there isnt anything for casters.... which suck ass at soloing now

We've already heard your whining and bitching in here, Cheeya

Now go take it somewhere else! Freakin' baby

soloing isn't that bad, it just sucks at low lvls, and u have to build differently, it does take longer but shit, i still remember the days of hc where it could take u well over a month of 10hour+days of soloing to get to 1 mq. suck it up and get monster killing.

thanks for the posts Mandy!

Appreciate it

Note, anyone want to try to cata tonight?

TY FOR GOOD INFOS!!!

So basically you should have 90 dex for every 10 str on dags?

nty

get 2 tanks and 3 casters with good charms and u fugn fly!!

ofc i was in a game with pumpkin king and his sexiness but still we flew

So does prof matter anymore for mega's? or is that concept obsolete now.. and any random with gear can action as much. ( if the gear is good) mana cost? Still trying to cata to test it out
