dex..agility

[Kajind]

hey all i was curious what these stood for, well i know what the words are but the exact definitions of them..would help me a lot as i try to upgrade gear i was never sure of the exact definitions of the terms

not just dex and agility but all of them as well as str. how they help classes out ingame

dexterity impoves accuracy and possiblilty of landin a critical
agility improves evasion, ranged atack and rang accuracy i think

dexterity is always nice to have agi not really needed for a monk

Just a small correction, Agi does nothing for ranged attack, str is for both ranged attack power and melee attack power.

well if you want repeated info here you go:

strength
Increases max damage, increases attack (2 str -> 1 attack)
..attack
raises average damage

dexterity
increases critical hit rate ranged and melee, increases melee accuracy (2 dexterity -> 1 accuracy melee), factors into sneak attack damage (thf)

agility
lowers critical hit rate taken, increases evasion (2 agility -> 1 evasion), increases ranged accuracy (2 agility -> 1 ranged acc), factors into trick attack (thf)

vitality
increases defense (2 vitality -> 1 defense), lowers max damage taken
..defense
lowers average damage taken

the above is what I've read only

from my playing experience it all seems right but I have in no way tested any of that bs lol
