Default Does agility and dexterity do anything?

Does agility and dexterity do anything?

If you use:

2x +7 agi +7 dex Black Pearl Velium rings
Or
2x +6 str +6 dex Fire Emerald Velium rings

Versus

2x +6 ac +65 hp Velium Fire Wedding rings

Will you solo kill same NPCs with more HP remaining after each victorious won fight?

The stats fill different roles. Hp/ac make you straight up tankier. Dex and agi are more about speeding up levelling some of your melee skills*.

The dex/agi will help a little for normal fights if you use procs or crits, or if you are close to a threshold for getting an avoidance boost (75 agi is the big one).

In the vast majority of situations I imagine hp/ac will be better.


*its a flawed implementation as most levels are so long your skills will be maxed by the time you ding regardless of stats.

AGI does basically nothing in this game. DEX will improve your procrate if you're using proccing weapons.

Do not use black pearl rings.

STR will increase your damage output making things die faster.

Fire emerald can be an okay choice in the right circumstances.

HP/AC will allow you to soak more damage, meaning you live longer.

Almost all my characters wear 5/55 or 6/65 rings.

Melee classes + shaman + enchanter. They're just that good.

The ac from agi doesn't count towards the softcap for your class.

It was useful on live to enchanters doing a lot of mezzing.

110 hp is pretty meaningless later on. It's very significant under lvl 30 so everyone gets overly attached to their baby rings.

Exception: Playing a nightblind race (applies only on Green) outdoors solo, if glowing stone band is your only wearable vision item it is worth a lot more to survival (and successful single pulls) during the dark part of the night than 65hp.

Otherwise 100% agree.

I once got close to max agi through buffs for some reason in plane of sky, when it was time to leave I attacked the key master dwarf and the fucker who usually hits you for 32k MISSED, and MISSED TWICE, at which point he stopped fucking around and DT'd me...
Conclusion: AGI is the most powerful stat.
I believe in AGI Santa!
Don't forget we're dealing with code written far along into the future, for us in our time capsule. No one knows what rules really are at play!

Yes I agree, agility is the best stat and makes you dodge more hits /nod. The ac is real and better then shield ac! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

If only verant didn't give monks the block skill and instead knights and warriors got it when a shield is equipped and it was based on agi.
