Since the damage cap was removed, what's the max damage per hit achievable with a fully-charged assassinate? 199k x 3? I'm hoping so. And, with amazing funds, would a STR bandit or a LUK bandit be smarter?

So I've heard that dexless bandits suck later on. Is this true? I'm still wondering about the STR vs. LUK thing, as I've seen a lot more STR bandits around lately. Is it because it's cheaper for them to get a high att bonus from a STR shield? Because I'm still thinking LUK is stronger. Prove me wrong, unless I'm right. Please.

The amazing funds thing. A STR Bandit can easily equip the Dragon Khanjar with a 52/52/52/52 HT pendant (are they fixing those?) and zakum helmet. Clean 19atk Dragon Khanjar (never seen a 20 atk) with 9 slots (7 + 2 hammers) can get it to 46 attack. But since they have the HT Pendant, they lose the 10 attack from the MoN, which will be 36 attack. Clean Maple Shield 12 slots (10 + 2 hammers) can get to 36 attack. Plus if they have the MoN it'll give the 10 attack. (or same 52/52/52/52HT Pendant ) (BTW when i compare the same level dagger (str and luk daggers) using the maker skill, the str dagger is always 2 attack higher than the luk one) and yeah you can have 199,999 199,999 199,999 then if the monster has enough HP it can get the 4th hit might be critical 199,999

But, since the HT pendant subtracts 10 att, while the shield adds 46 (possibly), the HT pendant is still going to add 52 to each stat. So STR equips are better, while it is better to not allocate anything into STR. YES. I WIN. And I think I'm going to make a bandit. By the way, is being dexless worth it? :|

Dexless fail 100+

At Redfield, while its true that a perfectly scrolled maple shield plus MoN is equal to the att of a perfectly dragon khanjar, don't forget that a str dit gets the khanjar PLUS the +52 to each stat with HT pendant so str bandit FTW!

Er... you can wear the khanjar without adding any base STR, so any LUK bandit with a handful of money can get his hands on a STR shield and a STR weapon. You'd just need a Zhelm, a 52-stat pendant, and maybe a STR cape and some glasses. And you're set.

So are low dex bandits no good? I was planning on going low dex but have recently also considered converting back to normal dex. (I'm not very funded anyway)

TotallyPANTS 08/12/09 + PM | QUOTE | PERMALINK | REPORT

Low dex is good. With a 52 stat pendant and a zhelm, plus whatever dex you're going to get from equips no matter what (parachute shoes, glasses, etc), you're not going to want to have as much dex as is required. Stay low-dex.

Which is better to the LUK Shadower? 52/52/52/52 HTP or 5/5/5/5/10 MoN? @ Above: YES. 52 dex from HTP means you can be 52 more low dex thus adding the DEX into LUK. Your getting 104 LUK out of the HTP

go luk shadower til right before you can apply the ap to equip a d.khanjar.
