| Ok so when you think about it damage doesn't make too much of a difference unless you want to boss at early levels or KS. Think about it, if it takes 4 Hits to kill a monster would it matter that your damage is better than the guy next to you who is killing them in 4 hits also? Not really unless you want to attempt to KS them. Damage only matters if its by ALOT and it decreases the amount of hits required to kill the monster. (Excluding Bosses) Also it doesn't matter if your damage is SO great that you think you can kill high level monsters. It doesn't really matter because your health will catch up to you and the monsters will be doing a lot of damage on you and you will either waste pots, or die. So does damage really make you that high and mighty? |

If so, all damage should even out in the end because everybody should have 999 of their job's most important stat for damage, unless someone seriously messes up a stat. [/quote] Attack percentages and speed still come into play. |

The cap is 999. But you can add with MW+Equips. |

| @TS, you're so dumb. Basically, you know every reason why damage matters but you feel like it doesn't matter. |

| I hate people who laugh at my Aran's crappy damage. WHO CARES? Well a lot of people do but NOT ME. OT: I guess it matters a lot to some people, but yeah, like you said, if it's in the same amount of hits then oh wow, IDC. |

| The damage varies a lot for classes like NL, so it does matter since I can 2 hit skeles at times and 3 hit the rest. If my damage was higher, i'd 2hit kill more easily. |

It sounds to me like being DEXless or LUKless doesn't really matter in the end, although it does allow one's character to have higher damage sooner. |
