    theres always the "purer dex" archer where you'd put in the minimum strength for wielding your weapon, and all the rest go into dex. supposedly things die before they reach you and you'd hope to one-man your way unto decent armor (which conveniently have no str req)

    edit: yep i forgot to mention it was rank armor i was talking about
    Elena Costel: I wash my hands of this affair.
    Legerity: *drags you back* *stains your hands with said affair*
    Elena Costel: Noooo... I don't want to have a dirty affair with Lady Legerity...
    Qui: b:dirty

    all of the rank items have no stat requirement. so if you get to 30 and 500 rep, you have free armour. same for 60 and 5k rep, 70 and 10k rep, 80 and 35k rep, 90 and 100k rep, 100 and 200k rep.

    How much of a decrese in staff level do you suffer because I ran into that road block for a heavy cleric, str and dex requirements were too steep to equip a decent magic sword thus is why I went more indepth on my clerity

    HA is 5 str 1 dex per 2 levels. The latest magic weap requires 6 mag (str already covered) per 2 levels. So you'd be behind by 1 stat point per 2 levels for equipping both the latest magic weapon and heavy armor.

    The solution: Invest into gear with +stat. For example, assuming you're rich or patient enough for mold drops, you can do something like this (no, I didn't bother with refines/buffs. Just the base equips and stats): http://pwcalc.ru/pwi/?char=4df66572f4be3c82 As you can see, if you manage your stats carefully, you'll actually wind up having extra stat points to distribute as you see fit.

    If not, you can always craft 2/3 star gear with a decent enough boost in stats to match or be enough to overcome the stat differences needed.

    It's actually not worth the time to do that. You'll level faster by keeping your weapon at your level, and distributing the rest into strenght and dex as needed. The best you can realistically do is the lower level HA and the best weapon, or the best armor and a lower level weapon.

    Yeah. Before you get into TT gear and the upper levels where you'll actually have to spend plenty of time grinding, it's far easier to just have enough magic for your weapon and use weaker armors unless you just like doing extra work for no reason (to challenge yourself, I guess?). Once you hit the upper levels that require plenty of grind, though, then it actually makes some more sense since you can "grind" mobs that drop the molds/mats you need and either gain a profit from doing so (TT runs, anyone) or decent exp/rep.

    As some have mentioned a high dex BM with fists, claws and high level bow is a good experiment.

    My current BM is like that but with minimum STR to wear HA and vit and mag on 3.

    I want to start a new one but with LA, with enough STR and DEX to use current fists and bow.
