Str. and Dex for BM

me, myself my bm is lv103 and i have partial rank 9, parital meaning i have the chest,wrists,boots, and ring so i didnt go way out for dex with that on. my base stats are 305 strength(enough for Warflame cleaver when i have it, 163 dex and 57 vitality, with all my gear and my battle tactics(interval gear) i have like 366 str and 193 dex enough for deicides or s3 traceless dimension really all the dex you'll need is for your fist/claws unless u absolutely think you absolutely think you need the extra crit. Having strength for your weapon is a must in my opinion, base strength means you got all the power and any other adds just makes it stronger. Alot might argue with me but there is no reason to be able to put claws on with rank 9 if there was we'd had rank 9 fist/claw xD. Not saying you have to add any vitality base alot of bms go pure strength which is good if you have the money for high level refines/shards, just an added boost in hp and defenses. If you run short on dexterity or some stat you really wish you had more on you could get a tome for that, i know on my bm i run a Battle tactics tome(str+13,vit+12). So as for your question if you have all your interval gear just restat yourself for enough points in dexterity to wield the weapon so like deicides is 193 dex i think striking dragons is 189 dex or something i dont quite remember and regicides/windpours are 204 dex. So yeah it does base heavily on your gear.

My bm has 100 dex 252 str and i think something like 163 base vit but i built it to pull catas (for the lols) so i wouldnt advise that.

You should do something like 200 base dex or 190 if you can get the dex up to 200 with gear add ons for the extra crit.

Um then you can chose to put something into vit. Personally i wouldnt because its pointless because endgame your hp comes from refines and possibly shards. If you do stat some vit reset it at a later stage.

Put everythimg you have left into str. It will give you more phys attack, and more physical def than adding vit would.

ty all for info

When a level 102 BM posted to ask how to stat a bm I face palmed. When they completely ignored simply statting enough dex for endgame claws (rounded up to 20) and the rest into strength or enough strength for endgame axes I face desked. When they then reposted saying they'd figured it out and linked a build with evasion ornies I 5 aps face palmed. b:shocked

I'm assuming he inherited the account.

Here are a few gear choices I don't like seeing. Evasion ornies, TT Vana, Striking Dragons,.... and full buffed builds where you use red bubble to hit "3.33 base." That's a 2.86 base build with 2.9k mdef. Using 2 pieces LA armor and mdef ornies will help increase your defenses, and a -int cape will boost you to 3.33. If you plan on +10 your claws may as well go deicides since they're roughly the same dd as SDs at +10 since Deicides refine better, but Deicides also have a Soul Infect proc and vit adds. And if we're comparing a lunar vana and tt vana and talking 20m vs 25m base, 250 cannies, shards and refines, the cost difference to get lunar vana is almost nothing so why do people keep using TT? I get it, at G16 it doesn't matter other than binding or not, but most BMs aren't going G16 because they don't want to lose their interval. Lunar, 33% better defenses.
