Templar, Harbinger Stats (Attributes) ?

[LAURELINAD]

i'm 25 level Templar (Defense + Dream) i've given only 1 point to health + 1 point to strength all the time.

Was it big mistake? should i restart or something? if not how should i continue?

Also my co-op partner is 25 level Harbinger (Warfare + Dream) same situation for that char.

Thanks.

Eh im no pro but u can manage definetly early with good items. Just put alot into dex so your base value get closer to your str. Best is either 1/1 str/dex or 2/1 str/dex. Definetly u wanna some dex 2 because it gives Def/Ofe ability. WIch gives better chance to dodge,less dmg take/hit chance, bigger dmg. Also items will have dex as requirement i bealive. But u coulda lower them with the masterie from defense. Im no pro and u cant see dodge chances ingame for some retarded reason from those OA/DA but dont underestimate it. I also started a templar as my first character managed to do the normal difficulty with alot of issues at the end and at start. But when i decided to make new one. Did warfare and im already having more OA than my templar at lvl 23 when my templar is lvl 40. And definetly realized the power of OA/DA its really powerfull. Hope that gave u some idea what u should do. I dont think u need to start from scratch but hey thats also an option. GL HF :)

Well.. I never put points into health personally. Right now I am using a Templar as well ands it has been Dex/Str. Dex affects your Defense stat which is a BIG deal for a Templar, as its kind of the shine of Defense tree. Health can never hurt but I always get mine from the two masterys (Leveling up the bar) and gear. Should you restart? Thats up to you. You have 75 levels of attribute points as well as some from quests. I would switch to STR/DEX point allocation for awhile though.

As for the other character? Thats tough for me to answer. I've never played one. However if I had to suggest something I would do STR / DEX for a while then, depending if he is using Dreams skills of magic (Distortion wave, etc) then some INT. It all really depends on your play style and what type of damage output you are looking for on that character. Electric burn for example, on one of the dream skills, I believe is elemental so would benefit from INT but I could be wrong.

I go 3:2 STR with non-piercing melee builds. DEX is an important stat especially for Defense because it increases your base Defensive Ability. It also increases your Offensive Ability, which is important for any melee character to increase your critical hit chance.

I don't know yet where the break point for DEX is before getting diminishing returns in the AE, but in original TQ I would stop around 500 STR/300-400 DEX and pump the rest into HP. With Dream you can put some points into INT, but I think the mastery levels in it really give you all the INT you need. Again in the AE, I'm not sure how much INT influences key skills in Dream for a melee character.
