New and learning how to build stats!

hello new friends!

I currently have a 1h sword character and don't know if I'm building right. Total level is 37. Stat lvls: strength is about 45 and Dex at about 20. I have a Brutal dragon sword with a strength of 31 and on average hit anywhere from 22-120 critical is about 300 but hit from around 700-2000 using skills. Why is it that the consistency at which I cause damage is ALL over the place?!

I'm trying to understand what I could be or should be hitting or how to hit higher. As well as understanding what I should be investing stat points in AND if anyone has advice On how to close the tremendous gaps in damage dealt and make them higher that would be great! Any advice is welcome!
Thanks!

 

If your question is: why your damage is too unstable.
Then go here: http://toramonline.com/index.php?threads/damage-dropoff-analysis.932/
Maybe you'll find your answer there.

 

If you want supreme DPS on a 1h,you should go pure dex.STR has NO effect whatsoever on your damage with a 1h.Hope this helps.

 

I would suggest remaking your char since you're only in your 30s. Don't want to waste a Stat Reset book.

Put DEX Only in Stats. For 1h Users.

 

STR and DEX adds the same amount of atk to 1h (+2atk each point) the difference is DEX adds accuracy/matk/cspd while STR adds attkspd.

As of build you can go STR/CRT or pure DEX.

 

Is pure DEX the only thing we're all supposed to have? I'm a warrior a level 62 (Two-Handed Sword). What stats would I suggest on building up? Can anyone help me? I'm also new to this website.

 

Dex increases stability, thus reducing the range between ur minimum and maximum damage.
Also, Dex increases dmg, and as it has been explained, increases accuracy too, that is why Dex is considered main stat for current era of 1H, idk about later or endgame.
Wrong or not, those STR can also increase the critical damage. But if u r new to this game, without proper equips, u will miss a lot against few bosses and minibosses, as I guess u haven't maxed all of ur stat emblems.
If u want to restart, which is easier, go full dex. If u wanna fix that, put Dex from now on. But be ready for a very hard time forward.

 

2H main damage stat is STR, 3 Atk each STR while for 1h, either u put dex or str, as it has been explained, it gives 2 Atk.

 

I knew that just recently, and it seems i have built too much of my STR a lot and also built up VIT. My personal stat should've been on CRIT. So i'll probably work with DEX and STR as i reset them. Or should I rather create another character?

 

Hmmm that is a rather complex thing..
Lemme explain few things,
Vit increases MaxHP and Def,
Mental increases resistance toward magical, physical, or status ailment,
So basically, that's a rather tanky build,
If U want more damage, STR/CRT is best, with STR as the main stat, CRIT for filler in ur lack of accuracy (as explained before, it's Dex that raises accuracy)
So IMO, which is ofc subjective,
U better restart it if u wanna be damage dealer, and put STR as main,
If u think of keep going, that will be rather hard, except, u r planning on taking aggro by using Rage Sword. But still, 1H has more survivability on taking aggros when using shield.
To put it simply, yes, restart is easiest and safest.
Try soloing forestia, u will understand what I meant.
Another infos too,
When I'm testing build battle performance, I fought against:
- Forestia to check how much of my hits land
- G Boar for survivability
- Roga for combos duration without killing the mobs as I need to knows how responsive my char becomes when using longer or shorter combo,
U can try my method to check ur char battle performance after U r sure on building the right one.
