✧Hiame's Tri-Stat Build ✧
╚═════════════════╝
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////​

Intro/Small Banter
So first and foremost... this build is suited for my playstyle and how I play.
I prefer not to have berserk/war cry/rampage/decoy/saber aura/etc. Not that I won't eventually grab it's just my personal preference as of cap 200.
This build was built around the idea of using all three stats associated with DW. Dex/Str/Agil.
If you're looking for a DPS build this is not for you. This build is mid-high dmg depending on the gears you use. High stability and high ampr. While your subhand stability is on the lower end this won't be an issue as caps get higher.
That said carry on reading.

Stat Allocations
- Here's a very short rundown for those wanting a refresher or are new to playing as DW/DS
The numbers are just used as an example, idrc the exact numbers atm.
Agil - raises subhand atk by +2, increases aspd, dodge, increases stab subhand
Str - raises mainhand and subhand by +1, increases crit dmg, stability for both main and subhand
Dex - raises mainhand +2, hit/accuracy, main-hand stability

Spoiler

AGIL 200-260+
STR 110-150+
Dex 25-150

Now Dex I wouldn't advise going anywhere above 150 due to HIT being a joke and Dex not playing a major factor unless on certain skills/formulas i.e Storm Reaper, Blade Skills etc.
>> Essentially just set Dex to an amount your comfortable with for your atk. I personally have it anywhere from 105-150.
AGIL/STR
>> These two will help your overall dmg figure out what you prefer, more aspd or more dmg

- Options
Swords
>Proto
CR% and p.pierce must have for high def bosses. Personally I'd add ult machina as an xtal choice to add in some more multipliers (srd, pierce, unsheathe etc) or stack some atk%
what go wrong with stacking atk%
>Player Stats
High-Mid Budget use Atk% cr cdmg cdmg% aspd%
Mid - Low Budget use atk cr cdmg cdmg% or atk cr cdmg aspd%

Why not cr%? Flat cr does more and cr% only is guud if you bothered to invest into it

Armor - heaven dress/dress of wish/ cr cr% cdmg cdmg% | cr aspd% cdmg cdmg%
Heaven for resistance,HP and Atk
Wish for -aggro and ampr
With cap 200+ coming I'd advise grabbing that aspd% over cr%, cr% benefits more if you have some crit invested as a stat.

Acessory - York Pendant/Heaven Feather | Demon Mantel | Full Beard
Heaven/York Pen for stability not much difference between the two so grab what you prefer
Demon Mantle atk% and stability enough said
Full beard srd aspd str% moist all around
Oh and Bat Waist Cape for more ampr and stability
