I feel I may have screwed up. :/

I'm working on a dual wield build that happens to be my main. I play solo mostly, but towards the end of the story, I found myself having to join a few parties to clear bosses. And then I realized how little damage I was doing. Everyone seemed to be doing a heck of a lot more damage than me :/ So now I'm level 84 and think I may have screwed up. My build was designed to hit hard and fast, but somehow I think I lost the hard part. My normal attacks are only around 100 per strike on most monsters 70 up. My combos generally are only about 5k.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also any info I'm leaving out I'll gladly supply.

Stats: str. 1, int 1, vit 31, agi 84, dex 84, crt 13

Blade skills
hard hit lvl 5, astute lvl 10, Trigger slash lvl3, sword mastery lvl 5, quick slash lvl 5
Magic
Charge lvl 1
Survival
Safe rest lvl 5, hp boost lvl 10
Dual sword skills
Dual sword mastery, twin slash, spinning slash, cross perry, charging slash, dual sword control, Godspeed all lvl 10, reflex lvl 5

Blitz sword 85+5
Light killer coat 45+6
Magic Scarf +4 hp+300 crysta
Misanga.

 

yeah vit in dual is kinda useless unless if ur a tanker :v
u should reset before u regret

 

I would reset book and remove the CRIT, VIT, and focus more on AGI and DEX. Sword mastery and quick slash I dunno about, not sure if they work on dual wield

 

they do work on dual

 

I'm seriously thinking about a reset. So should I just leave crt and vit at 1?

What sucks is I was doing really well solo, but when I joined parties I realized I was a seriously weak link. :'(

 

yep use reset book thats ur one of ur choice or u can start from the scratch by deleting ur dual and make a new one

 

Im my opinión dual wielder and halberd are classes that need much lvl even more than lvl cap now.If u Focus on damage just go dex >>>crit if u like more survival ( as me) i would go full agi #CultureOfDPS

 

the thing is...the dual wield class is in general more a solo class. it's very hard to out DPS other classes with it.
U usually need op gear and having a top condition.
So be aware that even if u reset it, it won't be as strong as a mage, gunner or 2h (for example)
maybe @Cypherian can help here :")

 

dual wielders need 3 stats to reach their maximum atk (DEX,AGI,STR) so my theory is that the final level cap will have enough points to cap 3 stats, not counting the personal stat. (that would be around lv500)
therefore, VIT doesn't fit on dual wielders since the 3 stats are DEX, AGI and STR.
of course you need light armor and all of the DWs buff skills boost speed and evasion in some way and lower defense in exchange.
so, the only thing you could get from VIT is hp, but equipment with hp stats is more effective for that.
CRT is not wrong, since t fits this class better than MNT. (since you don't want to get hit in the first place, you don't need ailment resistance. and LUK is when you have nothing better to choose.)

if you have a reset book, use it (or orbs if you can afford it), otherwise you'd have to delete and re-create.
DEX-AGI-STR in a 2:1:1 or 4:2:1 ratio should be good.
i think your add. gear needs an upgrade, Knife Belt is helpful

as for damage, most DW skills are not primary damage skills, since they have additional effects.
the buff skills are for Evasion and Unsheathe Attacks, which trigger after Evasion and certain other skills.
the DWs main feature is the Unsheathe Attack and all the buff effects. instead of dealing large damage with focused attacks, they add up small damage from many extra hits.
and since mp recovery is twice as fast, you can use skills more often, which also compensates the lower damage in some way.

 

I suggest not getting reflex unless ure getting vit as well as godspeed. Full dex is what i prefer and 40 agi. Also since u dint have phantom slash your best hope his charging slash as i could see. Tumble the enemy before u do for good.

 

I finally got to Lvl 90, so I have phantom and shadow step now.

Just wanted to say thanks for all the input guys. I've reset and have done 100 agi, the rest dex.

Now I just need to get some gear/crystas for health and evasion purposes. I'd gotten used to a little over 3k health. ;p
