[quote="PROWLER"]Spelunk, I am over 165, before the patch I was gaining 0.1 per 3.60 exp; now it is 7.00% per 0.1 dex (Boars, trolls) I am looking to learn what happened to STR at 200+ Thanks Prowler [/quote]

Str slowdowns after 171 have 0 effect on the rate of dex gained (i.e. 0.1 dex takes the same % at 199.9 str and 200.1 str)[/quote]

[quote="ALEXISONFIRE"]With knucks currently 137.4 dex and 197.8 str i'm gaining 0.1 dex at about 3.6% and str at just under 7% I'm back at boars til I hit 200 str, but the gains were the same when i tried trolls last night[/quote]

[quote="NIGESHI"]if its been nerfed though then doesnt that mean all chars pre patch will now be better than any char made after patch release? since Dex has been nerfed?[/quote]

[quote="PROWLER"]Spelunk, I have no clue what you mean. Before the patch I was getting dex at 3.60% and after the patch it is 7.0% - I was over 165dex pre-patch and it was 3.60% then. When the patch came in it doubled. It has nothing to do with the amount of dex I had pre-patch. I simply want to know if that happened to STR at 200 too. Nigeshi, No. If DEX got a 100% nerf and STR didn't it means that high dex chars pre-patch have been shafted. If STR got nerfed too (also 100%) then if means there will be a balancing of str/dex and all the chars will be heading for the same end result (regardless of whether they make it or not at level 120). I simply want to know what the difference between STR gains is at 199.9 and 200.1 (axe or spear would be ideal) Prowler [/quote]

[quote="FRINGE"]At 200 str the % required for stats goes up be it dex or str. To g8ve varied builds[/quote]

[quote="PROWLER"]Does the exp per 0.1 STR double?[/quote]

[quote="SPELUNK"]You have a misunderstanding of how this works. I tried explaining it but you won't listen nor answer my question (what STR did you have not what dex).[/quote]

[quote="PROWLER"]STR is under 171. It doesn't alter the fact that Experience for 0.1 DEX doubled after the patch. This was an immediate doubling and I was not on a conveniently rounded number. Before the patch, I was achieving 0.1 DEX per 3.60% experience all through level 110 The patch happened The first shot I fired (like everyone else who was capped) toppled the level onto 111 Then I was getting 0.1 DEX per 7.00% experience from the same mobs AND the new trolls when I tried them. Since other players who were level 111 were reporting DEX gains at 3.52% per 0.1 (with slightly lower DEX) I seem only to be able to conclude that DEX for higher characters has been nerfed. I don't see any alternative to this - I did ask earlier in the thread. What I would like to know is this; Has the % experience for 0.1 STR doubled (per se) after 200 STR? If it has not then my character is a total write off and is wasted. If there is a doubling, then I have to decide if I want to pursue a character that will likely end up very similar to other builds but with less INT. Prowler [/quote]

[quote="PROWLER"][quote="ISYLVER"]We have not touched dex gains. Remember slow downs up until 171. [/quote] 165.3 dex ...... There have been no DEX slows at all during the run up to that (last one was 95 dex I think) The last dex gain immediately before hitting level cap was 3.60% exp (BLGs) Strength is 159 The next dex gain after patch was 7.00% at BLGs and 7.00% at hellish trolls Nothing else changed ... Has something bugged? Prowler [/quote]

[quote="SPELUNK"]Never mind this is a hopeless cause. Nothing is wrong you are just in the slowdown for BLG. Dex should be at 7% (I get every 3.5% after 171 str at 1.0x whereas you are on 0.5x).[/quote]

[quote="PROWLER"]STR is 159 and was before the patch ... after the patch, during the sessions with the BLGs and hellish trolls it increase by 0.1 in totality[/quote]

[quote="PROWLER"]Spelunk, You are berating me for not listening to you. As I have repeatedly said .... Immediately before the patch I was getting 0.1 dex per 3.6% at the BLGs (str 159/ dex 165) Immediately after the patch I was getting 0.1 dex per 7.0% at the BLGs (str 159/dex 165) It therefore "appears" that dex gains were nerfed in the patch. Isylver says they didn't touch it ... I don't see how that is possible. I know the GMs don't offer gameplay advice but nothing else has changed (only the patch) and other people with higher STR report 0.1 dex per 3.52% Can this be looked at please iSylver? Thank you Prowler[/quote]

[quote="VISKAH"][quote="SPELUNK"] Nothing is wrong you are just in the slowdown for BLG. Dex should be at 7% (I get every 3.5% after 171 str at 1.0x whereas you are on 0.5x).[/quote] THIS - you will once again get dex at 3.5% when you hit 171 STR, so get your axe out or carry on at 7% per 0.1 dex until you hit 171 str[/quote]
