We all know samurai's are strong. Of that there is no doubt. But for those of us that haven't really played LS much, the Samurai comes as a blessing, meaning we passed our MQ.

Anyways, currently i am testing out a build that i thought might work nicely.

Stat Allocation:
All stat points should go into Dexterity
Here is why:
Dexterity
- Increases speed and chances to strike first during each combat round
- Increases chances of delivering a critical strike
- Increases damage done when a critical strike occurs

You can get Strength on gear.

Gear:
Weapons- I prefer daggers. They have a very small damage range, so you know you will be doing consistant damage
Stats to look for: EE, and Critical Flux%,armor pierce is nice too. Very important for being a big damage dealer in cata. also helps to increase chances of critical strikes, which is very nice

Armors- Plate, only way to go. lol
Stats: Again, look for High EE items, you want to be able to take some hits, NOT TANK, but not get killed in one or two strikes. Other good mods, are +% to block, and Physical Damage Reduction.

Charms- doesn't really matter much here, just looking for gear to help your strength and such.

so far, with the gear i've been using, i've not had to break yet, and get a crit strike every 2-3 hits, went from 1-5 no breaks, constant chain in arena, going to test in cata shortly, see how it works.

If u put all points into dext then you must get Str on charms/plate. Or if u put all points into str u need to get 70 dext from gear to reach 120 dext.

Just make sure to hit 120 dext then the rest of ur stats go into str. I agree though with plates and daggers

i think it did somewhat, but at the same time i do notice faster attacks, although that could be less lag whenever im playing at nite wink.gif, since that's really the only time i get on anymore.

maybe if u would comment less like the first paragraph - whats pretty much gay - and add some information, which isnt obvious or couldnt be taken from stickies, this could be useful. for now its disgusting.

Some stats you mentioned are pretty useless and i wouldnt pay xtra for them,(physical dmg reduction, block) much rather look for Life steal, LPK, LPA this is if you want to solo/well of course.
