DEX vs STR for ARC

[JayvirDeforte]

I personally choose to not put all of my stats into DEX and STR only like the posters above. I want to be able to not drop like a fly if the Great Buffalo uses Sonorous Blast and tanks can't draw hate and it comes to me. I would gladly take the 1-2 dmg reduction if I don't get one-shotted. The more time I spend standing, the less time the mage needs to spend rezing me and can focus on healing. With that being said, having some Piety helps depending on what attacks you use. Debuffs are influenced heavily by Piety so if you want to make sure Bloodletter sticks that debuff, put more into Piety. Mind and Int though? Pretty worthless for a DD

Agreed about piety, but that's personal taste.

About hate, if you keep using Quelling Strike between raging strike/ferocity shots, you'll rarely aggro(if the tank is decent), and if you do, you still have Chameleon on your sleeve, so it's very difficult to get aggro on NMs imho..
