Any research into WAR DEX?

Where did you get these numbers? Genuine question.

Well the numbers are correct although i thought he said 81 points in dex not parry...you wouldn't get 6% parry chance from 81 dex it would be 2%, the thresholds are right around every 40 dex = 1% parry chance. As for the other numbers the damage reduction for when you parry is based off of your str and those values are, if i remember correctly 281 = 22%, 318 = 23%, 363 = 24% 405 = 25% (i think the 281 and 318 might be off by a few points) So if you raised your parry chance by 6% the overall damage reduction would be 6% of your mitigation when you parry (or 6% of 22-25%)... I just guessed when i said 1-1.1% ... the actual value ends up being 1.32-1.5% physical damage reduction for 6% parry chance (using 22-25%) but the thresholds for dex are also ~40 points per 1% parry chance... so you would need at the least 41 ish dex to get 2% parry and at the most 80 dex to get 2% parry (depending on how close you are to the threshold from the start) so say you use 41 dex and get the 2%... 2% of 22%-25% is only a .44%-.5% physical damage reduction no reduction in damage vs magic ( More likely it will be about 20 dex to hit the next threshold of 1% more parry chance... so 20 dex for ~.22-.25% Physical damage reduction).

the thresholds are right around every 40 dex = 1% parry chance.

Sorry, wasn't clear enough, but I was referring to this data here. I found a chart but it relates to PLD. Not that I am expecting different for WAR, just curious. I understood what you were saying, but was wondering if the data has been researched. Since the OP is planning on using 10k seals to study, we could save him time and effort.

EDIT: 20k seals will be spent. Ten for research and ten to respec.

Yea i was using the chart that shows both block and parry.. but either way... for dex to be worth it, it would need to be about 4-5x what it is in that chart... I see the only reason to getting dex would be if you are within 10 dex from the next threshold, otherwise str or vit would be better..
