well, since most of us know that extra 100 dex doesn't effect on archers that much, and strless archers get out powered by reg build once in about lvl 100, would wind archer with extra 200 dex be able to out power reg built?

Tell me how a Str-less Wind Archer can achieve 200 bonus Dex over a Regular built.

Wind Archers only gain an extra AP point from levels 1-70. Therefore presuming, for some reason, a normal archer caps his/her Strength at 100. You will gain an extra 166 Dex (4 Base) from going Strengthless Obviously 166 Dex will be a noticeable damage increase however with the level 120 damage cap for Wind Archers and the new Reverse/Timeless wepons which (Please correct me if I'm wrong as I havn't checked) require Strength to weild will result in an overall lower damage range than a normal Strength normal archer. Hope that helps =)

A Str-less being outdamaged by a Low or Normal Str build is pretty much inevitable. It's only a matter of when. A Str-less Wind Archer will be able to last longer, maybe up until 140-150 or a Low Str Bow Master or Marksman.

With a VERY GOOD Kandiva they would be able to avoid ever being overpowered by a low-STR Wind Archer, unless the low-STR has a decent Engaw. That weapon may be enough of a game changer it won't matter, but there probably won't be many Wind Archers with those.

With a +3 HTP, a z-helm, a half-decent reverse overall, and some reverse shoes (might not even be necessary)...one could go STRless fairly easily. O_O I haven't added it all up yet, but I'm pretty sure I could do it. I just don't know...lol...that's a lot of resets.

Low Str means having something like 70+30 Str Neschere. Str-less means having 4 Str to equip a Nishada.

Strless wind archer would be weaker than reg Str. Actually, it would be even more noticable than with adventurer archers. More base AP changes the Dex/Att ratio in favor of Atk.

Then again, you might as well use the maker to get better dex gear. Ore prices are about even.
