My fighter is going with axes and I'm going to be using the scale or heavier armour.

I'm wondering if I should just focus on EE, or should I also be trying to get items with dex+str?

How much dex+str do I need for it to be the equivalent of EE?


Also, do guilds still pay for master quests?

Well, he may say str armors and str charms, but I don't see why. It could also be dex armours and dex charms, no? Last I played, it was all dex dumping.

thats because dex use to give crit %
now its, which every stat has a higher ratio on the wep gives crit
ex) sword is 75%str/25%dex
which means, for every 1 str u add = 3 dex, and vise versa
so for swords, adding str gives crit

But I'm using axes which is 50/50. So how are crits decided on that?

so for axe, u can choose which ever path to go since they are equal in ratio
so depending on ur gear

You can stat all STR, all DEX, or mix the two when using Axes and still be ok. Axes are pretty forgiving about how you stat your character.

The reason I say all strength is because if you shold find a club or sword better than your axe it wouldn't be messed up by the ratio. (barbs and fighters can't use daggers/staves)

Very true, and a good point to make.

I would also go all STR just to be able to switch it out if I found a Club or Sword that I could use, rather than be statt'd all DEX and be far off the ratio for those types.
