I think I'm going Dex, but is Str possible with this build? (Probably not).

By level 45 I will 43 Dex (So I can hit the 63 Speed Break).

I am thinking of putting the rest into STR, or putting Sta up to 25 (and thats all), and the rest into strength.

I have mastered haste and by 45 I will have a mastered cannonball so my attack speed at 45 should be pretty amazing. (I also have a level 19 stone hand).

My stats are as follows....(incase you wanted to know).

Str - 57
Sta - 22
Dex - 40
Int - 15

My question isj if this build is the proper cookie cutter build for a Dex assist and if I could go Str later on.

I just want to make sure I dont mess up so I have to buy a restat/skill.

[Axi]

That looks like the cookie cutter str build I think ;o

[Danaria]

It might be...

I'm not sure and thats why im seeking up.

I know I'm going to go at least 63 Dex Speed Break. (And use Stone Hand!)

Is the 22 Sta to much/screwed?

*Not a pro in BP builds btw*


I'm not sure what you want to ask. If you're going for the 63 DEX speed break (so 43 base dex) that's fine. Just keep on adding str.

22 sta is not much, in some cases it's actually quite little. 25 sta sounds just right to me o: If you're having troubles with HP later on then just add sta to around 30-35 or so.

What you're making *is* a cookie cutter str build, the common dex build carries 100 buffed dex. Str build relies pretty heavily on a G knuck to make it most useful, without the extra ASPD of the G it doesn't shine the way it should.

22 - 25 sta will probably make your char feel really fragile while you are getting to 60, but when you hit 2nd job and the 63 dex actually makes it to the speedbreak you're shooting for you'll probably be happy you did not add much more. You might need to wait a bit longer to go into the mines, but with reasonably good eq you should be fine even there. I used 25 base sta on my str built BP and had no real difficulties once I earned enough to get reasonable eq.

Both str and dex builds benefit from a restat at 90+, the str build just doesn't have quite as many wasted points at that time as the dex build does.

It sounds to me like you're worried that you added too many points somewhere, you haven't.

Your build is fine, it's cookie cutter. I'd suggest adding a bit more sta, I never liked sta in the 20s, but if you're comfortable with the amount of hp that you have, its fine with me.

Dex builds are only if you want to be fun and not actually level much at all.

They're horrible at lower levels if you plan on going hardcore grinding.

No they are not horrible at low levels.
I have 76% aspd at lv40 with the Dex Build.

Dex Build have 80Dex unbuff.
They are faster than a Str build at the same speed. Crits makes them faster.
But, they are hard to make

Str Build are like everywhere
They level fast when you have a G Knuckle which is 190mil for a +5
The only problam with Str build is money.

[Ali]

Lol @ crits make them faster.

80 dex = 8% crit? The chances of you critting is low, even if you DO have historic knuckle. D:

[vietboi91]

crits makes you do more damage, but not always the fastest leveler....

And while you're pegging away with like 300 dmg at 60, others will be doing just fine with 1k. It's even more vital to keep a more str-built build at lower levels if it's your first character, cause you'll need a restat later on.

Don't need a gknuckle for str build. 43~dex some sta rest str doesn't require a gknuckle.

TypeZero has said everything that needs to be said.
Dex builds fail in the leveling department.

str: xxx
dex: 43
sta: 30

is the ideal build till around 9x's.

At level 60, with G knuckle, that build should pump you to about 96% aspd.

what
is
a
perfect
build
for
a
bp...?

[Meebo]

i think it really depends on what equip you can afford...basically....if you can afford a g knuck, go with str build...if not...yak knuck + dex build ^^
