Dex or Con for secondary on great weapon fighter

Hello,

I've decided to re-create one of my favorite LFR characters on Neverwinter. Gallandan the Knight of Flowers. I was going to make him a Guardian Fighter but I'm reading that the class sucks, so I'm deciding to make him a great weapon fighter. His concept is a Gold Elf Fey knight from the Moon Shae Isles.

So, he gets a boost to Dexterity. What are the reasons for going Dex or Con in this game. I understand the reasons in 4e, but I don't know Neverwinter that well.

    For each point beyond 10:
    Con-
    HP +2%
    Damage resistance ignored +1%

    Dex-
    Critical Chance +1%
    AoE resistance +1%
    Deflect chance +.5%

    You need a decent amount of DR ignored, so higher Con means less gear/enchants required for that.

    For me a 15 con is as high as I wanted to go. The rest went to str/dex, as my GWF uses a lot of crit to take advantage of the severity, with feats and Vorpal.

    A lot of people will have different opinions, and good arguments can be made for either side.

    This is just what I do, not saying it's the best.

    for PvE DEX is the way to go, 15 CON is plenty.

    Con is self explanatory.

    That's GF not GWF ;-)

    For GWF both are viable almost equally since more con means less arp to stack and thus more room for power enchantments/items. But ofc. the crit chance from Dex is a keeper as well. At the end of the day, it's a matter of taste if you will.

    OMG... I am so sorry, I clicked the wrong bookmark and snoozed through it. Thanks for catching it,
    wixxgs1cht.

    I am editing my post to correct it.

    Edit: In the end, I was actually trying to say the same as wixxgs1cht said. I just posted the wrong data (corrected now, original bad data in post above this.) Apologies to all for that.. I guess I had a brain cramp.
