Well with the new visitor weapons would dexless be stronger than lowdex? I was so stupid that i convert (25 base dex) yesterday to 41 dex yesterday with free ap reset. Now i regret my action =( So what should i do now? Should i go keep adding dex or leave it at 41 until free ap reset sale. Plz help.

Depends on your fund. If you know you can get something like +156 dex or more then ya it's bad. If you can't then 41 dex is find for now. All I'm saying is that as long as you. Get 160 dex total you should be fine

ye but if the new weapons are statless, what's the point of having 160 dex for reverse?

Dexless is only good early to mid game. (level 10 ~ 80 perhaps) then after 4th job, LOW DEX is MUCH better

So low dex (with dex >25 and dex equip) is better in the long run? Even after BBP? I'm kinda lost and worry about this issue. If i plan on going low dex, i won't be able to go back to dexless unless i spent $100+ on ap resets.

Yes, go Lowdex. I have many, many thieves. All of which start out dexless and switch to lowdex (except my night walker, because I really don't feel like doing it..yet) and it's worth it. I switched to lowdex on my NL with unfinished equips and his range is 5.4k potless at 162, compared to 4.6k as dexless. This is also without % equips yet, lol.

I'd go dexless with dex equips potentialed with %LUK. If you can get equips to add 15% LUK id have to say dexless would be stronger.

Technically 25 base dex w/ dex equips are considered lowdex.

[/quote] Best idea: Potential all your stuff to wear level 71 equips, get high +LUK% and go dexless. The best of all three worlds.

People with high enough DEX to just be able to equip their level 80 armor set are stronger then those who have a lower-secondary stat because that sauna robe you're wearing has lower potential, where as level 80+ items have the ability to have more potential.

Hmm good thinking. I guess i'll star pumping into dex then. Should i do 4 luk/1 dex or 5 dex per lvl?

When you're getting 100+ Luck from each % equip, a slightly higher base dex doesn't matter.
