Thought I might come back for a bit after hearing rumours that Devs no longer need to punch (utterly the most time-consuming snooze-fest ever known). What exactly is the deal with Dev CON now? Punch or not? Don't have to give a huge answer, just a simple "Yes, punch" or No, don't bother" lol.
Thanks.

The general consensus is "no,dont bother" as the eventual dsoma update will render any gains from punching useless as a new stat allocation system will come into effect.

str been the attack/def for years
about punching you never actually needed to punch i dont know why people created that myth. loads of people have capped with no punching involved and they are competitive at endgame. punching gives shitloads of int which is usefuil at RvR and to be honest u allways have to do couple of punch lvls to do the int jump 65-75 for diab. Its all about having gear a good upgraded set with either pod/str/dex/acc with a +3wep at min P.S axers dont need to upgrade their wep :P

Ah, that's good news (at least for me). Quite glad to not have to punch half a level. Was worth it at the time, I guess. Good chance to let skills catch up a little now.
Thanks for the reply. Time to put some tunes on and contemplate starting anew. EDIT: I'm none too bothered about RvR, to be honest. I'm not a hardcore player and will most likely never reach cap anyhow. Relatively short attention span but Soma has always drawn me back from time-to-time.

"MANTICORE"str been the attack/def for years It's not a myth, it was a necessity for some classes if you wanted the 'perfect' character. Sure you could not do it, but the same went for ESoma and doing con early. Sure, you could get 30 con at as early as possible but you didn't need to. It sure did help though.

"GHOSTLORD""MANTICORE"str been the attack/def for years it still a myth tho because it was a matter of choice not because you had the obligation to do it for many people did it for RvR the absurd amount of int was a big deal. for example 15more str on an acher wont cut it againist a non punch axer 290str lol or hell even a spear

A myth is something that may or may not be true, something of a legend.
Punching is clear cut and simple. It gives an advantage to your character that is undeniable. How much depends on your class and your choice of build. |

a widely held but false belief or idea.
"the belief that evening primrose oil helps to cure eczema is a myth, according to dermatologists" This is what the dictionary says, nothing about it could be true ;p but yeah i totally get why you would think myth is the wrong word. And ofcourse the other meaning... a traditional story, especially one concerning the early history of a people or explaining a natural or social phenomenon, and typically involving supernatural beings or events. "ancient Celtic myths"
