I know this question has been answered before (because I saw a topic concerning it like two years ago before I quit and restarted) but if anybody could condescend to my level and answer the same question I'd be very grateful. Not enough to hand out free pennies but grateful enough. Anyways, is it practical to switch from dexless to un-dexless? I know that as you go higher in level your luck continually adds more damage. For example at level eleven adding one luk might make your damage go up one but adding one luck at a much higher level will increase your damage by three or four or so. So, if you go dexless in the beginning and then add dex later on will your damage be lower or will the damage even out and compensate for itself? This brings up another question for me: is it practical to save ap points for later on, knowing that higher levels will grant higher damage per luck? Or will the damage even out? Sorry for being confusing and thanks in advance.

Luk will always add more attack than any other stat no matter what level you are. People add point into dex however so that they can wear higher-leveled weapons that come with more attack than the dexless ones. Because attack is greater than luk, especially at high levels, this causes the dexless and non-dexless to "even out". The usual rough-ratio people use to calculate luk:atk is 5:1. This is just an estimation though, as the more you level up the higher the ratio will become.

I'm currently a dexless but after in the 100's i'll be adding dex to my dit because it'll do higher dmgs then dexless. And being at start dexless do out dmgs of reg and low dex but later low and reg out dmgs dexless. You add dex later on for better equip instead of sticking to the same one or being able to equip some better equips. Therefore, people who dexless tends to be low-dex later on, like myself. About the ratio, I'm not too sure about it. But adding luks does give you higher attack. It's just that adding dex, you'll be able to equip better equip with higher damages and make your dmg range much more stable and not too much of a wide differences. OHH! And adding dex don't make your dmgs get lower, it just put your minimum dmgs higher and allow you to equip better equips that do higher dmgs. I hope I wasn't too confusing ><''
