Because it's out of the box. And I knew I would get some flak for asking. It's a yes or no question and if someone has tried and says it useless so be it. But of course a trollface cookie cutter such as yourself wouldn't understand.

PS I already know I'm a retard. I have been watching this thread and feel even more retarded after reading some of these posts.

I believe that someone did that math for the contribution and, while it added a similar amount to parry/block rate as STR added to parry/block value, that's *all* that it did. STR increases damage along with parry/block so it most definitely edges out DEX.

Of course, one of the bigger issues is that the DEX/STR add such minor amounts to your parry/block rate that it's effectively negligible. It takes something like 30 STR to even see the slightest change.

I had a feeling that might be the case. I had read about the STR stack, wasn't sure if DEX stack would be the same if not worse.

Thanks for taking the time to explain it.

no one has tried it because stacking dex is obviously useless

What about DEX stack is useless other than your assumption it is useless? How did you know it was useless?

DEX effects how often you parry.

STR effects how much DMG you parry.

Parry stat is better returns than DEX returns.

Parry is the secondary stat on all VIT accessories.

DEX is useless from a tanking stand point.
