End & dex

[neoarc]

Hey guys, I'm wondering how an all defensive/ evasive build would fare. I got this from fiestawiki so I'm thinking of adding everything with block and evade(miss) in mind. It seems like a good idea to me, especially on a one-hand+shield fighter since you would be block or dodging everything=perfect tank!!! Or am I wrong about something? Oh btw so every point would go into end and dex.
END = +0.1 BLOCK% (1~50)
DEX = +0.2 EVA% (1~50)

I think a build like that you be similar to the mage, INT/SPR build. 25 in DEX for the EVA and the rest in END for Block, DEF, and HP.

Similar if you talk about the amount of points you would put in the 2 attributes...
Meh, I actually know a fighter with 25dex and rest end build. Never tried it myself but he enjoyed the build, accdg to him.
IMHO, I think this build would actually be good in terms of tanking. I don't know EXACTLY how it would compare to a full end build in terms of effectiveness in tanking BUT im pretty sure there wont be too much of a difference. PLUS, having a unique build is cool ;). Its up to you how much stats you want to allocate though..
And don't worry about screwing up. (A full STR fighter can tank really well with good equips) If being defensive / tanking is what you really want, then i suggest you go for it!

well i thought that would make a great tank since u have evasion benefits and defensive benefits and on top of that, your shield supposing that it's a warrior. Ultimate tank?

I'm not sure because I don't know what effect the EVA is per point added.

heres the thing:
say u have a base evasion rate of 5% and a base blocking rate of 5%
u add 5% block rate and 5% evasion rate
you now have 10% block rate and 10% evasion rate- this equals 20% for a total (these numbers ive made up are just examples)
but i could put 10% in block rate=15% block rate and 5% evasion so i still get 20%
the thing is that with end comes more hp and more def. the only way dex outshines end is that after +50 end then ur block rate starts increasin slower. either way the hp and def make up for it.

i admire ur hoping for a new build but chances are the good builds have already been thought up and are being used. if they went good builds they wouldnt be used.

yeah, i also thought that way before.. But if you think about it, some ppl keep their build as a secret. Well stat builds don't really affect your character as GREATLY as stat builds on other mmo's do, because in Fiesta there is a normal stat growth. So whatever build you choose, you wont ever totally fail.. coz a pure int fighter would stil have str,end,dex from the normal stat growth. ^^

Check the archer forums. There's a whole discussion on just how useless free stat Dex is. o_o'

Yeah this game is meant to be fairly blanaced no matter how you builf you characters. Though I think they way you play can still greatly affect things. Maybe you'll get lucky and do full DEX and find gear with full DEX on it. It would be nice to never get hit but I think OutSpark made that impossible.

Any idea what their EVA % is?
