| i see ppl suggesting equips such as pac with +dex, fs with +dex ect ect. how come people dont say chaos'd pacs instead of dex pacs. wouldnt a 4atk pac be better than a 3atk with 10dex? since 1atk is prlly more than 10dex at 120+. same goes with fs. |

| low dex is only truly exceptional when you are extremely rich. take me for example. 45 base dex, +86 from equips, and i use 68 att casters. low dex allows you to wear higher level equips with higher attack while all your ap goes into luk |

A low dex adds the right amount dex to equip a claw with a higher attack rather then a dexless with a lower attack claw like a skanda. If your funded and the claw is good you can easliy dish out more damage, and don't forget about the extra luck added from the dex cap. |

| o thats easy. NLs need dex to wear equips, so instead of wasting ap on dex it goes straight into luk. 4-5 luk = 1 atk |

If your going to go with 0dex 3/5 atk pac you might as well go dexless, unless you got some other equip to cover the dex required. |

| you're thinking based off of unlimited ap and basing your calculations only on att without the level and amount of ap restraints. |

Chaos'ed pacs and facestompers are way better because of the attack bonus given. ATK>LUK/DEX. In the end, it's all about the weapon attack because it boosts your damage way higher than having low low dex to have extra luck. |

| 1 att does= 16 dex though no one uses dex equips as an attack equip, they use it to wear equips so they dont need to add to their base dex. I have 80 base dex and i have +70 dex in equips. |

Att pacs cost so much more where as luk scrolls only cost 5m per 60%." guides never even mentions chaos scrolls =.=..thats wut im saying. ppl automatically goes for dex even tho there are better choices.
