Alright, so I'm practically brand new to this game, been playing for about 3 weeks. I Started this Sin am really shooting for an "end game" nightlord, not just to be the highest damage for the moment, though high damage = faster leveling. The friend who started me on this game suggested i start over again as Dexless (my base dex right now is higher than i think it should be (90) so i was actually considering restarting anyways) since i now have money for good equips and i havent really spent much. From what i've heard, the grind through to 100 is pretty bad as reg-dex since you're damage is lower if you solo train its slower, and trying to PQ is near impossible since most groups only take dexless. He said the only difference is that gear is a bit more expencive, but your damage is ALOT higher. I Got the full Agent suit + spiegelmanns neck + 12 luk earing and a regular (fulll100% scrolled) dark slain so i'm not losing much since everything except the gloves and shoes can be regrinded quickly. So the question: Go Dexless? PS: If someone could explain what a Dexless NL is wearing... cause i've only ever seen Dexless up to mid60's. I'm pulling most my info off of Hidden-street, so i assume the best claw i'll ever use is a Night raven.

Gah, computer over heated when I just finished my wall of text -.- I would recommend going low DEX, because DEXless, they become weaker and low DEX beats them, unless your very godly. Also, on a side note; I would recommend selling that 12 LUK earring, and upgrading some of your other equips. You should also go EPQ and make money through selling those altair earrings.

Nothing is more cool then a blue sauna. Maple Skanda looks sweet. Looks way better then some higher level claws IMO. IMO go dexless, Its awsome and you hit so much more. Im a level 55 Dexless sin hitting 3.2k+ (not funded, just with a 10ATK WG) I hit harder then most level 66+ Regular sins.

I would make a class where the high level weapons are cheap. Like. This guy ( i forgot his name x[) was outdamaging dexless sins 10lvs below and above him with a godly casa crow. like 120 atk i think. Which he got for cheap. Make a unpopulated class

dexless sins are cheaper than low dex in my opinion. Imagine all of the dex equips you have to buy >.> but anyhoo, good luck with whatever you choose :D

Thanks for the input so far. I guess something to add would be, i see people talking about being dexless to start then going low dex, which i'm confused about. If you're Dexless i assume your goal is to wear a high luk sauna for the rest of your days, and a dexless claw (maple + night raven) which i mean isn't a big deal to me since honestly, it means i have to look for gear less often. However, going "low dex" seems to insinuate that you add dex in order to wear some other type of gear, why gear is that and what level do you start changing over? (assuming its like lvl 120+) Should i restart even if i dont go dexless since i put 90 into dex so early ( i'm 57, not sure why Basil hasnt updated it) or will that be regular in a few more levels?

eek...well, a red craven is a lvl 100 claw that requires 140 dex to equip. Can you imagine buffing all of that dex if you wanna be low dex (around 25-40 dex base). >.< I think most low dex go with red craven or dargon green/purple sleeve.... 90 dex base for a lowdex is a lot in my opinion...but you can decide what you would like. Just choose a end-game claw, look at its dex requirement, calculate how much dex equips you can buy, and then decide where your dex base should stop.

Leave yourself as you are. 90 base dex will even out and if you can get 60 more dex in equips then you will be able to wear a sleve with your current base dex.

Well A few mis-conceptions in this thread. And alot of False information. Let me clear everything up. #1 ~ Dexless is the STRONGEST all the way through, Low dex and regualar dex catch up but can never meet a dexless's damage. This has been proved many times over, through pages of formulas. Also, a Dexless Night Lord Will wear a Sauna, Zhelm, Accessories, and a Night Raven Claw. (Level 90). #2 ~ Low Dex is more expensive. Seeing as a Dexless doesn't REQUIRE any equips to do good damage, they're just all bonus's. Low Dex REQUIRES high dex equips in order to sustain a low base dex. #3 ~ After the release of the Skanda, and now the Night Raven (level 90) it is useless to switch from dexless to low dex. Because you are not going to get enough dex in order to get a level 110 weapon of some sort. So there really is no reason. #4 ~ I reccommend Dexless, The Worst levels are 1-30 but after that, say hello to destroying your friends damage Hope you take into account the experience I have in this field, everything I have said is 100% true and unbiased I have research to prove it. And I believe it will really aid you in your decision
