 | Ive been wondering because there are the str and the luk bandits. And since Dual bladers use the same daggers, will dual bladers upgrade on str as an alternative? Or should it be kept with luk and dex? |

| Keep with luk and dex, as those are the stats required for Blades. Unless they decide to make STR Blades... |

| You can use them as a Str Dagger class. I would suggest just a reg. Dex Luk Dual Blade. Anything else may screw up your damage. |

| Actually their damage formula is... Minimum Damage = (3.6 * 0.9 * Mastery * LUK + STR + DEX / 100) * WA Maximum Damage = (3.6 * LUK + STR + DEX / 100) * WA. Obviously it doesn't matter if you have 500 STR or 500 DEX it'll be the same pretty much. |

[/quote] Yeah, only the blades don't require STR, STR daggers are only slightly better than DEX daggers, and DEX gives accuracy? I think the point of STR dits is to be able to equip STR shields, which give a nice attack boost. Dual Bladers can't use shields, so I imagine most would go reg-dex, since they really wouldn't get much of a bonus from adding STR. Also, are you sure dual bladers have the same damage formula as dits? |

| It's been confirmed they have the same formula. And nah, most likely a 4th job DB would choose to add STR if they actually care about how it looks 'cause... DEX Reverse dagger looks horrible as it is... the blade just looks flat out ugly with it. The STR Reverse Dagger however looks perfect with the Dagger. Personally I'll probably scroll items with STR to get that +60 str for the Reverse Dagger. |
