So after some searching around I've decided to try a fighter out. I have some what of funding, such as a 10atk wg, zhelm, scar helm, and around 150m in mesos. I was reading a guide saying to be dexless you need 500m+ but I see alot of comments saying you don't need that much anymore to be dexless? Is this guide outdated or the people wrong? As for going 1h if I make it to crusader, I understand a RK is the best choice even without an atk shield? And say I do make it to 100, Would switching to a ST be better damage wise, If I had the base dex of 20 with my funding. I'm not a type that is the fastest trainer but I can make it to 70, But I seem to class hop alot and was hoping a fighter would be the class for me. Any tips and help/idea's would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for any help.

Atleast i belive, you should go for DEXless, if needed (and if you use ST) add some DEX later on =) With this character, im getting +51Dex (W/O earrings, W/O shoes scrolled for DEX etc). So you should have no problem, and you'll obtain more mesos during the time =)

So starting off dexless would be the best choice?

You must plan on your end game weapon before choosing to be low dex or dexless warrior. If you plan on being a ST/NRW user low dex(25~30) is good. If you are planning on being 1h+att shield user or normal 2h sword user, you can go dexless. 1h+att shield requires plenty of funding, while normal 2h swords are generally slow compared to others. My suggestion, start out dexless and add dex as needed, try not to go above 25~30.

For my end game weapon, I don't think I could afford a 1h+atk shield combo so 2h would be what i'm guessing. But even if I don't have an atk shield at 70 would a RK still be better then a doombringer?

When you try to compare same att 1h and 2h sword, 2h swords range will be high, but their dpm will be less compared to the 1h sword. So yes, RK with same att as doombringer might yield higher dpm, but don't expect big numbers. Also it'd be wise to use 2 handed sword till 120, has 2 handed swords have better reach with slash blast.
