Re: DO WE NEED DEX?
#2I think that dexterity doesn't affect skills, but only increases chances to hit (with your weapon) and to dodge attacks (the higher the dex, the less you are interrupted while casting a spell).hey all im currently a lvl83+ mage with both fire and ice abilities maxed. does dex actually effect casting or is it just dodging and chance of melee hit? my stats where 5 110 140 140, something close to that. i now have 5 40 195 195. i still can cast excactly the same in battle, should i get rid of dex all together? all feed back is welcome

Re: DO WE NEED DEX?
#3I think I am currently at 5/5/185/220 on my mage.
I used to have Dex and it did not make a noticible difference. I don't melee attack ... so I don;t care if my chance to hit in melee goes up... and it really doesn't seem to do a lot for dodging either. I have foound that with good timing, I can get most spells of with minimal interruptions.
Hope that helps.

#4My stats look like this 40 str for ice wand/5 dex/60 focus for magus suit/ then the rest in vit. I have a lot of hp.
Re: DO WE NEED DEX?
#5I have a similar distribution of stat points. I have tried a high Dex build once, I did not see any noticeable decrease in being hit for the 100+ points I had dumped into Dex.I think I am currently at 5/5/185/220 on my mage.

#6Go major tank, 5/5/5/(all points go here, vitality). By using energy well and having warden you get plenty of energy as long as you have sigils, the maxed hp will help you survive for a long time. Might i add though one down side is healing afterwards, takes awhile to regain full hp especially after a master, so i recomend hp sigils but its not a must.
