I need some more info with the differences between STR and LUK. I mean, how do STR Bandits get better than LUK ones past 120+ (Withought d-khanjar)? If there were no khanjars, would STR Bandits still be better than LUK ones? I need some clarification here. Seems everyone here thinks STR bandits are better. I'm thinking long term here, I know I'm not going to convert before lvl 110 or so. (I'm only lvl 67 lol)

STR bandits have better looking daggers. All I can think of right now.

I think str dits are more stable

ldorki2 : I think str dits are more stable fail. I know that is untrue. Only more stable by about 2%, which won't matter.

You can punch in the numbers on your own. You seem smart enough. Head to Hiddenstreet, grab their calculator, pull out your own, then start working.

I have no thing against STR bandits. Most of my luk bandit friends eventually converted to STR dits by 110-120 to get a d.khanjar, but im sticking to a maple shield. I ono, just to represent luk pride. Im sticking to be a luk dit till 200 :] Yes, Str are stronger than LUK once past 120+, more people scroll str daggers than luk daggers.

the only pro i can think of for str dits is that str increasing their min dmg lvl

Also, one more question, can a str dit wear luk daggers while still being low dex/str? (I want to be str but personally I think luk daggers look better..)

Yeah. You can check that out yourself, for god's sake.

I'm STR. But I'm using a Dragon Kreda right now, since it was easier to come across than a Dragon Kanzir. I plan on making a Reverse Pescas though, the STR one.

didn't Mejust make a thread for converting to a str dit? what happened to it? i'm sure that would stop all of these str vs. luk garbage.

I think In the Long Run a Str dit is better than a Luk especially with a Dragon khanjar.

Shio : You fail. You just admitted str is more stable. Stop contradicting yourself. -sigh- What he was saying is that the stability isn't noticeable, so it's pretty stupid to make a STR Bandit purely for stability. There's no difference exept that the STR Bandit is weaker than a LUK Bandit, a STR CB pretty much even with a LUK CB and a STR Shadower has the potential to be stronger than a LUK Shadower. These are all generalisations. What matters in the end is funding.
