Str stats are better on scout than they are on rogue..... both str and dex give 1 pa per for a scout, which makes 2 str/pa 2 stam/pa 2 dex/pa even more viable for scout than it does for rogue. Also way easier gearing 2/2/2....only need shells stats that way

True yes, but the benefits of str vs dex are a little more in the favor of dex.

Simply for the accuracy and dodge that dex gives as compared to the low amount of health str gives.

As well as the scout primary skill that increases your dex by a base % giving more PA, accuracy, and dodge. This is another reason why S/W triumphs over the other class combinations. You get, not just 1, but 2 base dex % increases. As well as a str % base increase.

The amount of stat stacking you can obtain as a S/W triumphs all other classes when it comes to named stats. This is the only class combination that I would ever recommend you use ONLY named stats for PA.

When it comes to all other combinations, dex has a slight advantage over str, but very little. It could sway either way, if you really want more HP's then sure, use a little bit of str. But I wouldn't recommend it, as you can definitely do without.

Yeh you can do without str. But just for example getting 2 str/pa 2 dex/pa 2 stam/pa is a lot easier than getting 4 dex/pa 2 stam/pa. And when im talking about str being better, i say that when you look at capital v's Mist stats for example, str/pa capital gives more pa (even with dex % crap) than a dex/pa mist.

Just another option if you really want to get max pa. Of course its not that good for siege, more dex is always nice. But yeh, its more personal preference and how easily you can obtain stats seeings as 2/2/2 can be gained simply from shell stats.

Lol at the hp/def/str stats. Don't use them. go 4/2 on accessories(4 dex/pa, 2 stam/pa), and 3/3 the rest of your gears.

You just questioned a Legend.

As for def stats in PvE - don't do it. Stupidest advice I've seen given. You get enough def from the 2-3 stam/patk stacks per gear that you stat. NEVER stat ANY defense otherwise for PvE. Ever.

Take advice from those who have been/are at the top. Not from those who pretend like it.

lol. It's not just, stat stam and defense and hp and physical attack and dexterity.

It's getting the most out of every stat you get. If you get more 2.5 times as much HP out of a straight HP stat than you would a stam stat with full buffs, and if you get 6 times as much PDEF out of a straight PDEF stat than you would a stam stat... then the most logical way to stat would be using straight HP and straight PDEF stats.

Why? Because 1 staight HP stat with 1 straight PDEF stat = 2.5 stam stats + bonus pdef.

Which means you have more room for physical attack instead of silly stam stats. Which means you do more dps. Which means you're at the top.

At least that's what I realized in chapter 3 with the stats in that era, and that's what made me the top DPS on the Palenque server.

It shouldn't take much more than that to understand why one would use a pdef stat on PvE gear.

I was all excited about seeing a scout rework, till I read it really wasn't much. I guess Themills will stay forever retired being a human character and all. Sigh, thanks for the tease.
