what is the best stat build iyo for a smaurai?

120dex with mq gear
rest into str

go daggers if u dont have alot of fg to put towards expensive ass swords

use heavy armor and get lifesteal if possible if any other questions pm me ima hit the hay

I agree with this. Although I usually go to 130 dext with MQ gear then the rest into str. If you plan on playing Catacombs you obviously won't need lifesteal. And You probably won't want to sacrifice too much dmg for life steal. So keep a good balance of lifesteal with your stats

correct but i prefer 120 everyone has diff builds for me 120 worked perf

i think dex give different return each classes and weapons, no big deal of having high dex with daggers. since it has balanced dmg, every hit will pass monsters def, so more dex wont make u hit zero, and more str will make u always hit good amounts.

u guys need stop this "dex rule", there isn't only one build option. i've seen pure str chars doing great, and pure dex also doing good.(even after january changes on dex effects)

Weapons do not deciede what stat you use. Every weapon type has the same average dmg. Which means that a weapon such as daggers and axes having a more consistant dmg will do consistant crits. Now on the other hand weapons such as clubs and swords with high range will have more range on their crits, their crits can be such little dmg that it looks like a normal attack, or it could do a lot of dmg and will be known as a crit.

Also dext adds to speed(slightly), chance of doing a crit, dmg of your crit, and reduces dmg when you receive a crit. So this means that if you are a pure str build you are just like a magician and will be open to huge crit shots

if u think that monsters has a defense, then u will think that yes, its different...
a monster with defense 300, where u have a 280-320 axe and a 10-590 swd
what will kill the enemy faster?
oh, guess what? the sword!

at this point you start making your dex/str decision
