STR or LUK bandit?

I have been having difficulty choosing one From what I know, STR bandits have more consistent damage and have cooler looking daggers up until like 90 (no offense to LUK bandits) and LUK bandits have higher damage? Is that correct or does the consistent damage total up to about the same? But there's something else. I'm a SinDit, so if I add STR now (if I choose to be one), I will have weak damage until level 35 (when I plan to switch to daggers). I was thinking if I choose STR, I will have a normal LUK build until 35, when I use a KFan, that doesn't require any STR. From there, I will start adding STR so I can use the Bazlud. Will that be too late or is that a good idea? Also, how much STR, DEX, and LUK should a STR bandit have? Are the points put into STR taken from DEX or LUK? How much DEX should a LUK bandit have?

if you are str u need to cap str at 75 (or lower depending on equips) becuase dragon khanjar requires 75 str and gold double knife req is 70 str. you can always become a str dit later on. For example be luk till you have max Sb then start putting str

I am low dex and str and I do more damage than str or luk dit. If you have the funds shoot for low str and dex so you can wear a dragon khanjar in the end. If you are lucky you can get a 30 attack one like me. I think str daggers also have a faster speed rate on some daggers and luck daggers have a fast rating.

Wait those shields that look like daggers are only for STR bandits?

Khanjar's are cheap in Bera IMO only 10 mil that is like 1 60% glove attack scroll and same with the D. Khanjars you can get a 15 attack clean for the same price

the best way to have god damage is to be a luk bandit and convert to str like from 120-130, because the d-khanjar won't make you a whole lot more powerful till 13x

It's good to go dexless in the lower levels (more damage) if you have overall good funding or enough cash, do remember str dits are stronger (equal funding) once they're able to wield a d khanjar(120) so for me I've been dexless then lowdex and in my 100ish (depends on your overall equip stats) through my equips i can raise enough str and dex for a d khanjar at 120.

Restart. Go Lukless Str Dit. It's not always about damage, you know.
