Can someone tell how the diminishing rules work for str and dex... Heard some ppl say its not worth the effort to put more than 130 in each because after that diminishing kicks in.... But I am sure some of you know exactly how it works and can give me some info on the matter. Also if this works differently for different chars or not.
Thanks in advance..

Strength does not have a diminishing effect. Dexterity does have a diminishing effect and most people use between 100-140 dext. Strength increases the effect of the dexterity, so say for example you only had 50 dext so you could really pump strength with 50 more points. In doing this your regular hits will increase significantly in damage, but your critical strikes may go from 1500 to 1000 or something like that. You need to have both to get the best balance in your damage.

strength will make ur like max dmg go up.

and dex i forgot just putting these in short form

Bump.... in case someone want to share their knowledge and opinion on the subject.

Strength: Increases the base damage for melee weapons.
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.

I'm not sure what the diminishing returns look like exactly but I know as long as you have between 110-150 dex you should be good with the rest in str.
