[quote="SOULASSASSIN"]Hi fellas; It's probably been asked a thousand times but I searched and couldn't find my exact answer. I currently have 66 DEX & 67 STR. I assumed you gained DEX based on the STR of the monster? i.e the greater the STR the less % for a +DEX required (hence people doing the +50 STR mob things? which is not what im trying to do, im casual with bad gear) - until a certain "minimum cap for %". That was my understanding, but im now assuming I'm incorrect. Wraith currently give me +DEX every 8.13%ish, yet they now have lower STR than myself, so I thought i'd take myself off to Devil Warrior for 'better' stat gains per % with over 11 STR more than me, yet it takes 14.42% per +DEX, and due to them hitting quite hard I cant take multiples thus slowing my exp gain down even more - I gain DEX almost +0.3 time wise on Wraith too compared to Devil Warrior with my current stats. Should I pick up an axe and get some more STR or do I just carry on with wraith until 70DEX then move to Warban, or go to DW then? Thanks for any help or advice. I'm not fussed either way I'd just like to understand the mechanics a little more.[/quote]

[quote="FRINGE"]tbh just hunt as you see fit. at cap the whole +50 route etc with healing only counts as maybe +5/6 str/dex which isnt alot in the grand scheme of things. you preferably want to hunt something with more str than yourself. try keep it above 10 above to get 1.3 bonus but hunting until your 10 above a mob still keeps you at the 1.0 [/quote]

Thats the strange thing. I've only tested these two mobs though so far, but I might try other mobs like Valk, D3 MM/EE as thier just over the DW STR - but if someone does know why I'm getting the gains I am from Wraith, or the lack of gains from Devil Warrior it would be appreciated. Thanks for the reply Fringe.[/quote]
