I've heard some info about Dexterity, if it were 20 or more below strength it could hinder gains?
Can a GM confirm this please? and if so, could they kindly explain to me how it works :o much appreciated |

its always a good rule of thumb to keep dex as close to str as possible, i think it mainly stems from more dex u have = faster str, as u land more hits,
a guy i know had 30 more str then dex and each 0.1 dex took him 3 hours he said. |

I think it's more to do with the fact that gains are based on STR (your STR against mob STR). As your STR gets higher, gains get worse, and this means you get less DEX.

I never found catching up dex a massive problem as an axe user. I base this on Jar's theory above. If I use PD I am killing things long before I should and therefore my str is not going above that mobs for example levier beast. By the time I have the str/def to hunt nicely with out PD my str is still below that of the mob thus dex gains are still good.
Is my theory correct? Sure feels like it.

shatter do you have a bigger str/dex gap than 20? am just curious if it would slow down the gains at all, meaning i would waste % trying to catch up my dex

"KAZUO"shatter do you have a bigger str/dex gap than 20? am just curious if it would slow down the gains at all, meaning i would waste % trying to catch up my dex When I had a gap of 24 str/dex I was getting dex in 4% at warmess, no idea how that compares but gives you food for thought. With rested exp and 3rd knux I found this super fast. Not fussed about stats to % tho, I only level with rested and will be quitting on 22nd march when Diablo is out/only playing when I have 100% rested.

If you str is higher than the mobs str, you will get less XP contributing to your Dex or Str gains (in theory)..
The thing to remember is every stat has its own XP field in the DB and i assume that depending on several factors i.e, your str / dex , mobs str, xp gain from mob, weapon etc etc, a certain amount the XP gained (level XP) will get allocated to stat XP (str / dex) This is my understanding of it but cant say I've actually noticed it in game.

Sounds like dex is only slower if your STR is way higher than the mobs, however if you keep hunting your hardest mob, you should be fine.
This is why I always felt spear was good for dex at times, you can hunt higher mobs in 1v1 situations with 2nd spear quite easily and gain good dex, You could hunt palus with spear quite early on and just quickly heal afte each one.

Yeah i can agree on if your str is too high then you will get less dex than you would have had if you had lower str.
Example is 60+ str on raptors and 30 dex will take an eternity but if you did dex earlier at 40-45str then it would be quicker. However sometimes the extra damage from your str can offset the slowdown timewise as you kill quicker. All about finding the sweetspot.
