So i've read 2 guides (The 2 in the sticky) I am pretty sure it said 2 different things =x

One said as much strength as possible. The other said 20 dex above strength :\

Which should I do?

Aim for anywhere from 80-120dex at level 55 with your gear on.

If you are going to be leveling in the area at high levels, you'll want your dex to be closer to 120. For catacombs, you can get away with much lower (as the monsters have lower stats).

It's down to personal preference, and your budget.

It's important to keep a balance between strength and dexterity. Depending on your current gear perhaps aim for something along the lines of 100str//80 dext, 100//100, or 100//115.
115 dext seems to be a good mark for achieving a noticeable increase in critical strikes.


Check out this thread and see if you'd have an interest in something along those lines.

Well you have two possibilities, I tried both of them.
You can go pure strength if you are using daggers, this way your damages will be a lot higher than if you had dexterity. However you will not be able to do a lot of criticals, that's why you need dexterity.

So

• if you are using daggers i would aim for about 90-100 dexterity and all the rest into strength.
• if you are using swords i would aim for about 120 dexterity and all the rest into strength.

of course, all depends on your gear, if you have dexterity gear, wear it and add all your stat points into strength, and vice-versa if you are using strength gear.

You can pm me if you have any questions.
