Converting from Dexless ~ Low dex

I'm kind of stumped on a question. My character is currently level 92 and leveling fast(I saved 10 AP points from 90 to 92 just in case I do convert). I'm kind of noticing the difference between the dexless players and the low-dex players. My question is, is it better to stay dexless all the way or go low-dex and hopefully equip a sleeve? For those of you who wish to know my current equips as a dexless: 1. 10/3 PAC 2. 52 ATK Skanda 3. 2/6 FS 4. 15/15/15/15 zhelm 5. 13 SCG Will low-dex start out shine the dexless? And if I DO become a low-dex what claw should I equip till a sleeve and preferably what ATK should that claw be. Funding isn't much of a problem.

i think you should aim for a 65+ att claw, i think a 60 att claw would kinda equal 2 your current equips. the equips you have now will last you along time being dexless. i think if you get a attack scrolled pac and FS it would be better 2 stay dexless and i am not a pro at comparing the 2 i am just trying 2 help u make your choice.

Yeah I suppose, but I rarely see any 65+ atk claws in Broa. And as for staying dexless, I just want to be the best with my funding even if means conversion. I'm really starting to get a bit disappointed looking at my skanda and pumping all 5 points into luk every level =].

oh, sorry about that short post. Low dex still more luk advantage, but towards the end of the game, w.atk > luk. Dexless claws do not get many weapons with high w.atk, except the ravens claw or something. I recommend these equips... 25+ dex sauna 10+ dex BSS 25+ dex zhelm (70% it, thought it might break...60% are hella expensive_ 10+ dex earrings 10/2 dex PAC 5 dex dep If you can get all these, you can be a dexless rab user, which is probably the strongest out of em all

go for a craven or hopefully a sleeve thats perferably more than 64 atk (if you think you can get higher atk claws definitely go for it) scroll zhelm with dex scrolls, get some dex earrings, get a luk top/dex bottom combination, and change your cape to dex and you should be able to wear a good high lv claw with around 50-70dex

Upgrade you Skanda, get a high Luk robe, better stars, better gloves, higher atk SCG? Well that is all depending on you're funds I suppose

IEatWorms said: "with your skanda wouldn't dexless be better" I mean yeah I suppose, as of right now it's the best I can be. Sure hitting 6k with a single star is fun and all but later on in the game I'm almost positive that low-dex's will start to outshine dexless and hit even harder.

Your equips are absolutely fine, continue your Dexless.

MrRimsterr said: "Upgrade you Skanda, get a high Luk robe, better stars, better gloves, higher atk SCG? Well that is all depending on you're funds I suppose" I can upgrade my skanda towards a 53 or maybe even a 54. I can get a better pac ASAP, and as for the SCG, after 13 ATK, the prices start getting hefty so not too sure about that. As you can see, the only thing keeping me move forward is damage. I'm NOT CRAZY over the damage, but I mean who doesn't want to be the best with what they got right? I want to know whether low dex can get on par or better with the damage dexless may have at 110+. I am probably going to reach 120 within a few weeks or a month; give or take.

where did u trian at 90 :P?

alexdmccoy 04/19/09 + PM | QUOTE | PERMALINK | REPORT

with your equips, here's what i suggest. For now stay dexless, but keep looking at dex equips. When you find the dex equips to the point where you can add less than 10 luck, then switch it out. No damage lost in the process.
