    Mrd Points

    How good is dex in 1.2? I am deciding where to put my points into as a Mrd tank. I was considering max vit, half dex and half strength. Does dex not do much and should I go max strength and max vit?

    Has anyone yet played around with max dex biuld for parry?

    Need a little help deciding.

    I haven't really noticed a need for DEX at this point, but I want to try out some rings to see what the results are, I'm taking a half day at work to go playing around with some stats before I place them anywhere myself, but I'm thinking max VIT then polish off STR, I'll be updating my Marauder 1.20 post after I'm done testing and playing around a bit.

    I filled up VIT, put a ton in STR, and put about 5 in DEX.

    23 STR 22 VIT here.

    Since i use evasion gear, most of it already has native dex bonus so i prefered going straight to what was meant to affect DPS.

    I sure hope DEX turns out to be useful, the very first thing I did upon logging in (in my defense, I was very tired... though due to that I probably shouldn't have allocated stats then) was put 23 into DEX when I meant to put them into VIT and 22 in STR.

    Well, on my other character anyway. At least I still have this one to do MRD right on (though I don't have any cross-class abils on this one, though I guess that could be remedied easily enough)

    DEX gives acc, parry and critical rate. Not bad at all...you can just do like i did, but focusing on VIT instead of DEX.

    DEX doesn't give Crit. It's ARC Damage, Parry, Block & Accuracy.

    No worries, SE kinda messed that up IMO. I think a stat should affect Critical Rating, but I guess they're content with Sipahi Gloves and few weapons.
