I just have a little question. Are ranged attacks treated as physical attacks or are they completely independent? Is dexterity the only thing that counts when attacking with the bow? And also on the game guide it mentions 'inteligence' some where when talking about ranged attacks is that just another name for dexterity? thanxs.
Oh and by the wau i solved my venomancers problem.b:Some body decided to rescue me yay:victory
thanxs
EDIT:sorry itelliki was suppsed to be intelligence my hand slipped lolz

    Depends on the class ...

    Archers attacks (even the ones that do magic/elemental damage) are all Physical attacks, so use Dexterity

    Wizard/Cleric/Veno attacks are Magic attacks, so use Intelligence

    (Barb/BM are melee Physical attacks, so use Strength)

    And yes, only the one attribute factors into the attack

    So wait my archers ranged attacks are physical but dexterity is the only thing that strenghtens them?

    Archers pump dex ^_^ it's the best way to go, promise. Strength is a must have in order to wear your armor. Dexterity, however, always gives the best results.

    Yes ... DEX is for physical ranged, STR is for physical melee. So unless you plan to unequip your bow and start punching mobs ... b:shocked

    As mentioned above, you still need some STR (actually LVL+4) in order to wear your armour. But as far as your attack goes, the only thing that matters is DEX.
