Ninja: Walk in shadow.

[Velhart]

snip

If I remember right (could be wrong), during the beta, abilities like Tomahawk were actually on the DEX stat, but was changed to STR because it became a very weak ability, especially since VIT and STR are the primary stats WAR aims for and wouldn't put DEX in for just one ability. Anything can be changed around by the developer's will, that isn't really the argument. It is the reason of why these said concepts should be changed to begin with. SE has a simple, easy to understand stats. STR for melee, DEX for ranged DPS, INT for mages, MND for healer, etc. Changing this around goes against this simple concept the developers have created. Then again, they said that a system like Hunts and NM's wouldn't work and look what happened.

They could just very easily apply all Ninja's attack as "ranged". Then change the wording of DEX to mean something akin to agility.

Would you care? Nope. Unless you were/are saving Monk gear like I am, that is.

I think thats how they will go. DEX is for "Precision attacks" and STR is for "strong attack" or w/e

I'm kind of hoping they get their own gear for the most part so that no one can have a maxed out ninja right after release.

Will end up dwindling the number of people who want to play it if they can't have it, for the most part, complete content ready.

Except Second Coil will be unlocked and I bet you people would very easily grind full gear set in 1~3 days.

Is it confirmed that the next turn is coming in 2.4? I missed that if it has been.

Easy to understand if you disregard what the game itself says about the stats, sure.

They stated a long time ago that they're alternating Coil patches with CT patches. Last patch was a CT patch, so. . .

DEX is for "Precision attacks" and STR is for "strong attack" or w/e

Works for Dark Souls

Shall I repeat myself then? This system has too much perception to it, why would Monk then not be precision based, it's attacks using precision hits on the rear and flanks with speed to create high paced low damage attacks. So why is this perceptively STR and Ninja becomes DEX, what separates the two? and how would anyone new to the game be able to distinguish between them? How it is implemented at the moment there is no fuss, melee it STR, ranged is DEX simples.
