STR for bows?

[WiggleTheKobold]

just wondering if STR matters for bow damage or not, pretty low level still and its hard to tell with my damage range..

[StrikerTheHedgefox]

Dexterity matters more for bows, but it doesn't hurt to have some strength for the defence. You can also enchant a bow to make its damage scale off of strength instead of dexterity as well.

[TakeMyLunch]

Bows and Katars are Dex
Swords, Hammers, and Spears are Str
Staff and Bell are Int

You can change what they scale off with a special stone gotten later on (I've seen them in Lv.6-12 Catacombs so around that level they start showing up.) though they're pretty rare.

good to know, in that case i'll invest more into dex than STR for the time being!

[masterofthegears]

Realistically speak str would be right. But games always make it dex for some reason.

[WiggleTheKobold]

the classic "Thief weapons based on AGI" meta strikes again.

make sure to grab the mastery for your weapon too when you reach level 10, gives them a lot of power. I dunno how useful switching scaling is, feels like it would collide with the intended way the classes are supposed to work?

Strength and Mind have had their defense boosts removed in the current build, actually, with the idea being that equipment is your main way of upping defense defense.
Vitality scaling has been boosted to compensate, though! So if you want to play a tanky character, put a lot of points into vitality!

Been wanting to ask the same thing, currently have 15 STR and 22 DEX, but feels like I should invest more on Mind to have more Mana, I currently play Solo and there's so many enemies that I run out of it most of the time.

So the only sub-stats you get from STR and MND now are Stamina and Defense? Bandits get a bit shafted since they have to spend stats on all three to not run out of resources then...
