STR and END?

bloodrops · 06-16-2008, 04:05 PM

I realize that there have been many questions about different ways of building a cleric. I've went through most of them, found they didn't really answer what I was wondering about. So...what do you say about 1:3 (END:STR)? :/

Sorry...maybe I'm confused but isn't a 3:1 (str/end) build basicallly still a str build with some props thrown to end?

I mean generally speaking couldn't u just take what has been written about str builds and assume its about 3/4 accurate for your specific case and then the same for end as appropriate?

or are you looking for hard stats and math n' such?

Another Solo build I assume?

With END that marginal in the equation, why not go full-Str instead of diluting it. STR in later levels has a diminishing return as Mob's HP increases at a faster rate than you can deal damage to it (assuming you don't use +9s)

Either go with more END in your build if you want the benefit or go all STR for soloing.

Thanks a lot, that helped

Just all I needed to know

I'm not sure what you're trying to say but...yeah...I don't know what to say about your comment :/

Full STR for solo.

END is negligible in terms of protection regardless. A 3:1 STR/END build will only reduce its effects farther. At level 79, you would have a 71 STR/23 END build. The bonus defense you receive from those 23 END points is 11.

delete and edit please.

Double-post = bad .__o

Yeah that 23 END would only give her 11 DEF, but block rate?

Everyone forgets the WÃ¼nderful block rate =)

2.2% block rate is negligible as well, to be honest.

lol...sorry. I was basically saying wot lrva said...that the end seemed a little pointless...and asking if you wanted that stats that Triumph provided...seems you got a great answer in the end tho! (no pun intended)
