[quote="GREATERIX"][quote="RAVER"]Isn't knuckle more a dex wep like bow? That's why your str gain slower than sword. I think knuckle and bow better for dex Axe and spear better for str Sword in between on both. (Better for str than knuckle and bow but worse than axe and sword. Better for dex than axer and spear but worse than bow and knuckle) Maybe wron[/quote] I'm aware it's not the best weapon for str - was just surprised at just how much it slowed down at 65, taking almost 3x as long as before, and was mainly curious if the decrease is similar for all weapons. I've done .1 str at EB's for curiosity - let's say 8.5% it took roughly, got .3 knux .2 dex .1 str. Took almost 2 hours to get I might say compared with 1 hour at wraiths. So it's better Str/Exp, however Str/Time is much worse.[/quote]

[quote="GHOSTLORD"]I believe the 65 slowdown is 2x.[/quote]

[quote="TANGOD"]Stick to wraiths till 75 str is my advice, 65 slow down is a pain but you get used to it, just crack on.[/quote]

[quote="BLUEMIST"][quote="GHOSTLORD"]I believe the 65 slowdown is 2x.[/quote] I just wanted to note that 65-70 str with axe does see almost a 2x increase in time for a gain, compared with 60-65. I do my stats based on time, and consistently saw 27 min per gain at trolls post 65 str as opposed to 17 min pre 65. [/quote]

[quote="TANGOD"]just get used to gaining 1-2 stat per day ;p unless u multi, in which case it dont matter.[/quote]

[quote="ENIMEEZE"]I switched to DS for awhile then went DW[/quote]

[quote="GRAVIJA"]I did alot of testing on the test server (ironic?) and its more to do with the slow down at 65.0 str rather than wraths. for example, at 95 str slow, a level at hwan abs will only be around .1 worse stats than at wbms. Don't worry too much about stats untill all slowdowns are past (100.0-105.0) Getting past the 65.0 slows broke alot of people on E-soma if i rememeber correctly.[/quote]

[quote="CHOJINE"]As a knuckle user, you should only be focusing on Dexterity, that's your main strength. Get to 100 dexterity, then go axe, to add hitting power to your A speed weapon. Worrying about Strength gains with Knuckle is futile, it's like worrying about Dexterity gains with Axe. Expected stats at stages : At 80 Dexterity you should be at 80-85 Strength. At 100 Dexterity you should be at about 110 Strength. [/quote]
