might vs. dex

[john1231]

so my fighter has 20 might but only 9 dex

his attacks are slow but when they hit they destroy
(playing with dual-wield)

i wonder what is better dex or might?

dex = more attacks per round
might = more damage on hit

[speedstr]

yea. We all know what dex and might are but it's all relative to how you make your build.

You're much better off using two handed weapons rather than dualwielding with those stats.

why? i tought that by dual wielding i would recompensate the missing dex?

two slow attacks with high damage

Ya but you have so much DMG and atk slow already. May as well go Two-Handed and hit harder.

More like the opposite, you're just negating the advantage of dualwielding. In general, High Might Low Dex should focus on slower more damaging attacks, and vice versa.

I'd take dex on a dual wielder. You're already sacrificing accuracy and DR for more strikes so you might as well get in as many strikes as possible.

damn it - already took the knight weapon skills (morning star / sword and the like)

i tought i was clever by negating the slowness i loose with dex by dual-wielding

Morning Star is badass man... Its 2-handed. Just saying.

thank god! i dont have to restart then ;)

ok thanks for the help! i will change to two-handed

Really, morning star is destructive. Just keep sword & shield, though, in case you'll meet an enemy with very high DR.
