Do they go low str and get str pacs instead of dex? or do they get dex equips instead? ps; is 75base str too high for a nisrock user?

most ppl go low str with str equips to make up for the str this is becuz of maple warrior since it raises the base stats so more base dex is useful 75 seem about avg i have 69 base str if that helps

Most go low-str because low-str is stronger. That's all there is to it, and yes STR gear over dex. (PACs overalls top/bottom combos, make shoes w/ str etc)

Yeah like stated, it's most efficient to be Low-STR in my opinion. I currently have 62 Base STR, 106 w/ all my equips. Oh and yeah, I have a STR Pac (3 att 8 STR) Most of my BM friends get STR pacs, to make up for the lost STR. I suggest you cap your STR following these guidelines, 1) Think of your final bow STR. ex) Nisrock = 105 STR. 2) Check your fundings and see how much worth of STR equips you can afford. 3) Cap your STR, thinking of the first 2. Result : Caped STR + Equips = Final Bow.

Yay for high STR with 95 base. I can wear my Shiner without a Zhelm which is always good.

@ above, dex gear over str is better imo. Upgrading items later on could be difficult if u go str equips. Eg u buy a 3/10 str pac, and later on upgrade to 7atk pac, ur gnna need 10 str. Besides, there isnt a limit to how much dex u hav in equips, but there will be a limit if u have str equips and add dex. However this depend on funding. Just be sure to keep ur base str 35 ish below ur cap as ur base str=4, zhelm=15 str, MoN =5 str, black belt =5 str, 5(ish) str from overall. All depends on equips u have really.

I have 77 base str, and I have enough str from equips for a neschere, and I don't even have a zhelm. But if I do get zhelmed, I can very easily scrap up the str for a reverse crossbow, though getting one is an issue itself. But the way I see it, the real advantage of low str is that many end-game equipments give BOTH str and dex, notably zhelm, MoN and others. You might as well make good use of both stats.
