Already been proven multiple times dex is a waste, people thinking that anything other than full vit may be even remotely viable is just straight up silly.

I'm fully Dex. I parry a ton to be honest unless that's my scorpion hoplin doing the job. Tbh pals really don't need vit, our mitigation is so high I laugh at garuda's slip stream.
I've been a full 30 str pal as well,and let me tell you its easier to hold aggro. Idk mainstream vit is overrated . justput it all on str, or Dex.
Yeah, sacrificing a larger HP pool and regen for a 1% increase in damage or a non existant increase to block rate is well worth it *rolls_eyes*I'm fully Dex.

Good luck in Coil.

This thread makes my brain hurt.
Short Answer: Go Vit.
Long Answer: Go Vit because speccing into Str or Dex is basically useless unless you can reach the next block/parry tier. You do NOT need help holding hate. You DO need help staying alive longer. In that regard, more Str/Dex will sometimes potentially be a very tiny bit helpful... but more Vit will always be noticeably and measurably helpful.

I think i will stick with VIT >> HP >> DEF >> STR

Plus it's already been shown that STR is what increases Block/Parry tiers

nice find booked mark will come in handy. :P

STR increases Block / Parry damage reduction.
DEX increases Block / Parry RATE.
The only way this would even be a viable thought would be running full HQ Darksteel with maxxed out DEX. Which maybe viable for the time being but won't be towards the end of coil. Honestly even then if you managed to get an extra 2% chance to dodge/block/parry I'd be really surprised
