    This maybe not really related to DW skills, but:
    talking about crit dmg, I heard there is penalty after 300? Above 300 will be divided by 2.
    if so, how about Aerial Cut or Twin Slash from DW skill tree? What I mean is, for example,
    1/ Twin Slash gives 100 cdmg (1)
    2/ Base gives 150 cdmg (2)
    3/ 300str gives 60 cdmg (3),
    then the cdmg of Twin Slash will be (1)+(2)+(3)= 100*150+50+(10/2)=305 cdmg, correct?
    or the cdmg from the skill is added directly without being affected by the penalty of cdmg

    Mm if you're talking about does the CDMG from Twin Slash affect the uncapped CDMG of Aeiral Cut,
    It should just be added directly as Aerial uses the CDMG gain from Twin Slash's inate CDMG increase as it levels up more.

    CDMG is capped at 300 unless stated otherwise.
    Tho you can probably fact check elsewere/i.e Discord Skill Servers.
    As they're more up to date on things like this. Most of us O.G players and O.G Forumers usually keep to ourself nowadays or play on the low.
    So I can't rec anyone on forums to ping/discuss this stuff.

    I'm surprised you didn't mentioned a pure DEX/AGIL Build but mention tri stat. I wonder why.

    Short Answer
    At the time Dex/Agil wasn't really that viable.
    Post Lunar and Aerial, buster/twin buster became more usable.
    --------
    Longer answer.
    Dex itself doesn't benefit DS as much as the other two outside of certain skills. Not not saying it's not usable, you just have to build with it to make it work compared to the other two stats.
    Tri Stat is mostly just do whatever you want and adjust to your personal likings and preference once you played the class enough.
    Was never a optimal/meta player and made the guide mostly as a generalized info dump and for players interested in the class or refresher for peeps who need it.
    Have enough information simplified to try things out yourself and find something that works for you.

    XD you made straight up made me login cause this was a question that made me remember the times I was resetting stats. good times don't play anymore though for the most part. nice question.

    If you need more up to date info I highly suggest just checking the toram community discords.
    Most of us old players/forumers don't really keep stuff up to date or only keep tabs on certain things.
    Hope that answered your question.

    Slight Update/tweak for Lunar
    Dex scaling lower, in short keep on doing your agil/str stuff mess with dex if you want to. Personally i wouldn't go pass 150 Dex if you plan to use it.
