I've seen quite a few builds out their stating full dex pretty much the same old build we archers use 4dex 1str, I wanna get opinions on a 3dex str2 build per lvl so we can wear heavy armor? Can I get any suggestions weather or not does this work out?

    I would love a HA sin, but my problem with them is the damage loss, the extra def is very nice, but then your skills like bp etc wont be as effective, and vs. another ha class like barbs/bms, they will most likely take you out if you aren't smart enough with your pk tactics. But pve wise, you can take more damage, but you wont kill things as fast as a tradeoff. =\, a HA sin is attainable, but you may have to spend a pretty penny refining etc. But for the most part, your bp won't be as effective, you won't be a nuke that comes out of nowhere and kills people in a couple of seconds, and mobs will last longer against you. (also, accuracy/evasion/and critical loss since a loss in dex/and your damage won't be near as high.) For your question it can work out, but it will take a lot of work and cash.

    I want a HA sin, but I am a fan of huge numbers popping up on the screen =\. I love def, but killing stuff fast is the way to go for me.

    Edit: armor is for noobs :D, str for weps = ftw ^.^

    Those are not the only builds, there are many numbers of different builds, just those are the most talked about/discussed.

    And most of the High level sins (90+) chose Vit and later restated to Pure Dex because THAT is the sin build. Browse the forums, read the postings of others and decide. Most sin's i talk to/read posts of are the Pure Dex build. I am a Pure dex as well and it works just fine.b:victory

    BUT on a different server i am using a HA build:
    LVL 2 add 2STR 3DEX
    LVL 3 add 3STR 2DEX
    LVL 4 add 2STR 3DEX

    basically at level 5 you start the list over. it is a per 3 level basis. pretty sure some STR can be cut out, but thats just what i came up with looking at Armour and dagger reqs. So far, it works, just takes a little longer to kill mobs, take a little less damage. no life powders and no "omg i cant afford the pots!!!" i only use what drops off the mobs. never spent money on pots in my life or needed life powders b:shutup

    b:bye

    This is coming from the link its copy and pasted.

    ~Str/Dex Heavy Armor Build~

    +1 vit
    +2 str
    +2 dex

    Endgame:
    5 Vitality
    5 Magic
    200+ Strength (for HA and Fists)
    200+ Dexterity


    This build may sound a bit ridiculous, some might even say its impossible! but low and behold, its possible and done by Couri:

    -http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/2871/couristats.jpg <- he is buffed here
    -http://img265.imageshack.us/img265/1346/couricsheet.jpg <- he is unbuffed here

    Hey the pictures speak for themselves! honestly i wouldn't try this build unless its really what you wanna do AND have enough coin for it >_< yea, read a few posts down here: http://pwi-forum.perfectworld.com/sh...d.php?t=678912 you'll see that he has alot of event gear, and maybe even more now, rofl. ^_^ none the less, he **** lol. another thing about this build is that 1. he can't use his assassin skills and 2. he can't wear any of the endgame daggers. just something else to think about ^_^ go assassins!

    (Revised for ACLucious)

    It says Ha so i'm guessing its Ha, I read your post and I read the link I said.

    You can't wear HA with 2 str, you'll need 2.5 str each level for HA.

    HA fails in PvP and PvE.

    PvP:
    -Own by magic attacks without the option to marrow or have genie shield such as Balance or True Emptiness.
    -Still doesn't do you too much good unbuffed against other physical attacks. BMs and Barbs benefit from HA more since BM has Bell and Barb's True Form amps pdef. (My Sin has killed a 100 HA Sin in under 6 seconds, aka before Occult Ice is up).
    -Cut your damge and crit so you kill a lot slower.

    PvE:
    Less damage=less heal from Bloodpaint. The BM I'm starting over on this server is a pain in the **** because it kills so much slower than Sin even as fists BM. My BM is actually taking a lot more damage per mob since I'm taking so much longer to kill mobs than my pure DEX Sin did.

    Fists can hit 5 attacks per second with just -.4 worth of interval gear and demon spark.

    That's the only reason to use fists as a sin

    Yeah, but with sht damage per hit.

    http://pwcalc.ru/pwi/?char=e56e6e2496d2f958

    Lunar claw with same refine and shards as my TT80 daggers and I've got more than twice the damage per hit. That's fine if you are hitting 5 aps but it's no good if a daggers Sin can out dps you with just 2.5 aps aka less interval gears.
