What do you think is the better choice?

Hi.
I want to know the opinion of another tmw players about what are the most important attributes. Is it better to increase vitality? or do you prefer dexterity?... My opinion is that those are the most important. Vitality to get more resistance to attack, and dexterity to gain power to kill a monsters. I think strong is not as good as those. And you?

I prefer an AGI/DEX build: you hit really fast, you hit hard, and it's hard to hit you.

An AGI/LUK build would also work since you crit like hell with high luck.

because we are using the same system that ragnarok online uses (we are currently using a ragnarok online server as server backend) i would suggest the usual RO builds:

AGI melee build:
focus on agi until most enemies can't hit you anymore. then raise STR. adjust DEX so that you never miss the enemies you are fighting but not more.

VIT melee build:
focus on VIT to endure fights much longer and to gain more HP from recovery items. you can start with raising STR much earlier than when playing an agi build. this build is superior over AGI builds in the beginning but later a little bit weaker when leveling alone. on the other hand VIT builds are much more useful as tankers in parties. adjust dex so that you never miss the enemies you are fighting but not more.

Archery Build:
focus on Dex and Agi to maximize your offensive potential (the latter is for attack speed, but it seems to me as if TMW doesn't use attack speed, so a DEX only char would be superior). ignore other stats. use hit&run tactics or let your party mates tank for you.


because only soulless chars can use skills i wouldn't recommend to put any points on INT.

in RO LUK is only useful for characters that can boost their crit rate with equipment. there isn't any crit boosting equipment in TMW at the moment, so i wouldn't recommend raising LUK.
