Cuz I'm thinking it's nonsense. Need mass opinions. Maybe this was only in the old versions, or maybe its only in the updated version? lmk what you know about it..

People would take you more seriously if you stopped bashing the game. Just an opinion.

Believe it or not ratios do matter. Do your own research, test it yourself.

I never bashed the game. Just trying to figure out whats real and what isnt. Just because someone posts a thread on jsp, doesn't necessarily mean it's a fact. I don't blindly believe everything.

Thanks, I guess I'll take your word for it. I did my first mq in 2 days. Nb for a noobster like me.

Hitch, thank you for posting in all my threads. I appreciate your comments, especially bc you dont bash ME for being new to ladder slasher. I just dont understand why these ratios matter differently for each weapon.
If I wanted mass critical hits with a sword, for example.. Boosting str increases dmg with any weapon and dex increases critical hits with any weapon.. so why would I want to boost the str to 75% and dex to only 25%??
I'm looking for decent dmg, with mass critical hits - with a sword. So thats my main confusion area right now.

Thank you all for posting, no matter what you said.

Ratios are there to gain the benefit of more critical strikes, so people tend to try for that ratio.
Paul has stated before that the "lower" stat ratio increases crits, BUT, there is a limit (well something to that effect)
For specific damage output, most people go with the "higher" stat ratio because of the 0.75% or the 0.90% to dmg,
BUT, overall it si best to get within the ratio to increase your critical hits, so the more crit hits you do, your overall dmg
will be more... well that is the main reason for it.

Only toons that crit the most... are casters... they seem to have a higher chance of critting.

EDIT: Dex no longer increases critical strikes... that is old information. And, Strength does NOT increase dmg with any weapon as much as it USED to.
