Ok, so dex is nerfed at 130, right? (correct me if im wrong) What exactly is nerfed? My chance for a critical strike? And does it effect the enemies possiblity for a critical strike and their dmg on it? Quite curious about this cause ive got 7 too many points in dex on my fighter, and idk if they're just wasted points or if its helping me against their crits. Thanks in advance.

it's not nerfed as i know but most of people say best dex is arround 100-120 dependig from character to character
but most of the people use max 120dex

ive heard different from multiple people.. but idk any better myself. i need facts... njaguar! >.<

It was nerfed a while ago. In fact, quiet a while ago. It was the only stat needed for a melee char and strength was completely ignored.

After 120 (or around there) the bonus of dex diminishes and at that point strength is a better option.

so its nerfed at 120?

No. Dext always adds to your % chance to crit strike and to your defense against melee crits no matter how high you go. It's just a matter of diminished return, and for most characters it stops being worthwhile to add past 120-130.


What I'm saying is that past a certain amount of dexterity it stops adding as much % chance to crit. The more dexterity you have the better chance you have to avoid enemy melee crits.

Like say 0-115 dext it adds .5% chance to crit per dexterity, maybe above 115 dext it starts adding .25% chance per point.
(Just an example with random numbers)


It's not that important tbh, just try to get 115-130 dext and you'll be fine.

ok, so it diminishes my critical chance and the enemies crit dam?

i understand, all i was asking is that if both of them diminish, ty
