I've been a Dex build for a while now and while they're really fun to play I'm just levelling really slow. I've been thinking for a while now that I should restat to AOE. My build would be:

Str 60
Sta The rest

Should I get a restat or should I just stay Dex I'm level 47 and my stats are roughly:
Str 40
Sta 40
Dex the rest

Unbuffed

(Haven't been on account for while so can't remember exactly, lol)

Also, I'm currently killing Cpt. Steamwalkers with buffs, but with no other support. Are they good to kill or should I go for something that gives me less exp, but is quicker to kill???
Am at a crossroads and need help!! Thanks :blink:

IMO stick with it for a little while longer and lvl your buffs, get your cannon and haste up. When you hit the 8x speed break and become a BP you will notice you are very fast. I can kill cranes as fast now as I did when I was an AOE.

Edit: Also I can now kill fishes and Mongs 1v1 pretty quick for some good experiance. You will find that you will have trouble AOE'n after cranes b/c you will be competing with alot of other clases that are faster at AOE'n than you.

Ok, thanks, I'm not on my char for another week so I can have a break from continual killing and food spamming ^^, but when I get back I'll just stick with it. I'm having fun playing him and that's the main thing. Not THAT bothered about levels just wanna have fun

Well IMO AOEing is not fun at all more like boring, I did it until lvl 65 got bored with it around lvl45. I have more fun 1v1 and kill about as fast now as I did when I was AOE.

yea 1x1 is really funny ^^ you only hear the 3 hits per sec, loads of times the mob fly away and receive crit in the air! i love owning then ^^

IMO i think you should stick with dex build. right now yer only lvl 47, well at that time AoE is faster than dex, it begins to even out in speed around lvl 60 or so then dex builds are way faster in the higher lvls (65+). Right now im lvl 62 and as long as theres mobs to kill, i kill faster and gain faster xp than AoEers over time. Also dex builds are unbeatable in the giant hunting department bar none.
Ya know, depending on what yer heap/sta is right now you could probably still AoE (mobs yer lvl), and it kinda sounds like yer going about it all wrong dex build too. You can fight things 10+ lvls above you but that necessarily isn't the fastest way to get xp. You'll get more xp but you'll kill way less, maybe drop it down to at least leyenas and see how fast you gain xp then.

i was AoEing 3 steam walkers at lvl 47ish. but anyway... just stick it out. it will be worth it in the end because at lvl 54 it takes forever to round up 5 eldergaurds. i would rather have 1 garbagespider and kill that quick than gather up 5 trillion lower lvls and then try and kill those while getting crited every hit...

sum it up:

stay as dex build
