STR Cabal Blader or DEX Cabal Blader STR vs DEX

Dex bladers are more for pve right? and str are more for PVP? Or maybe go even for pve/pvp?

Cabal Bladers have been dubbed as dual purpose killing machines, having the ability to both be good in PVP as well as PVE. This means that they can withstand one on one combat against other players and at the same time go head to head with mobs in dungeons and maps.

With this in mind, several players have created a myth about Bladers concerning stat distribution. It has already been a practice in Cabal that a Blader who prefers PVP should invest in a higher Str for higher attack and defense while one who enjoys killing mobs is to have a higher Dex for higher defense rate.



Throughout my gaming experience as a Cabal Blader, I have spent millions of alz (Cabal's in-game currency) buying extract potions as per advice of my friends and guildmates to "fix" my character's statistics. I have changed back and forth from being a so-called Dex-type to Str-type for countless times.

On my personal experience, I have proven that there is no difference whether you have a higher Dex or a higher Str.

First, take note of this Stat Distribution Variablity Table:



Based on the table, you can easily notice and realize that the attribute given is the same whatever statistic distribution you prefer. However, this will not be applicable for a Blader who, for whatever reason, actually decides to invest on Int (please DO NOT ever do this if you are a Blader).

As per the case of wearing an armor set against a martial set, it is best that one merely meets the requirement for the set.

As an example, here are my current stats at Level 144:

Str: 520
Int: 64
Dex: 550

With those stats, I can wear both the armor set and martial set (although I still need 3 stat points for my Int to use a +7 mithril blade or katana). It is also more than enough to withstand mobs and win PVPs. Obviously, it is because Str and Dex give the same attribute whichever way you put them.

Misconceptions are created by players themselves. Therefore, only players can clear them up and perhaps break a few myths surrounding the game.
