Is it now better to get lower secondary stats, STR for a gunslinger, because the new earrings and cape give All Stats +x (Level 80 Gun/Armors) ? Or is it better to get high secondary stats and go full DEX potentials and wear low level gear (such as level 100 gun with +10% w.atk?) Example: 50 Base STR Level 100 Weapon with Decent DEX/ W.ATK Potential Level 80 Armors with Decent STR and DEX Potential (STR needed to wear level 100 weapon) 80 Base STR Level 100 Weapon with Decent DEX/ W.ATK Potential Level 100 Armor with Only DEX

choice one. There is no difference between the potentials of a level 70 weapon/armor and a level 100 weapon/armor, I believe.

Low STR: It's the same as before except you can make your base STR even lower with all the potential items.

Wouldn't it be more beneficial to get DEX potentials and up base STR? It doesn't look that pretty, but 10% of 80 is a lot less than, say, 10% of 450.

In terms of percent boosting equips, dex wins because you have much more dex than str. However, in static boosts, they're theoretically equal, actually leaning slightly in favor of static str boosts because of MW.

Also I learned that Level 120 equips have a higher rate of giving 3 stats and better stat bonuses than lower level equips which have a higher rate of giving 2 stats and lower stat bonuses.

its possible to go strless as some gear get replaced. for example, HTP is now a better pendant than a MoN if you roll 4%+ dex on it (lvl dependent). so now strless - low str is the way to go o_O

mon still has a lot of hp so its not totally replaced and 4% dex doesnt add all that much more than a mon anyways

Would 50 STR be good? Or should I AP reset them to 40? Also HTP Potentialed is better because it adds that +22 STR needed for equips.
