Confused about Tattoo's

I know this has been asked 100+ times before, but I can't find my answer after searching through the boards, and asking in game. I'm rather confused about what tattoo I can put on which char, and what would be best.

My Shillien Elder lacks a bit of casting speed, her HP, MP, M Def and P Def are pretty much ok, so I wanted to go +4 Wit, -4 Men, but now I hear that isn't possible??

My Hawkeye would like to max out her Dex and go +4 Str with that, while going -9 Con. Anyone have experience with that set-up?

For the last, I'm not quite sure what to do with my Bounty Hunter, was thinking on going -8 Con, +4 Str, +4 Dex, but Im not sure if I will keep P def after that...I do group spoil with my pole all the time, so Im not quite sure.

Thanks in advance for any useful information

I don't know about the SE's buffs one bit, but on fighter classes, there more -Con you have, the more prone to Stun you are.

HE's have the most HP out of archers. So they do it pretty frequently. Then they slap Majestic Light and problem with stuns Solved.

Also, the more -Con you have the less arrows and SS you can carry around.

Usually, -9 Con (+4Str /+4 Dex) is a very good PvE setup. For PvP, it gets a bit complicated.

Your SE can go +4 wit -4 men. You can do anything to any of your abilities except int. That's the only one you can't touch.

As for the dwarf, it depends on if you have a SE/WC to give you VR. If not, you'd better not nerf your con that much. For my BH (lvl 44), I lost 50 hp/pt of con with a total hp of about 2250, so you can figure out if its worth it for you. Oh, and if you ever want to use your pole against stunner mobs, definitely do not -con.

If you want to have a pretty good idea how changing your stats will affect you visit following site.

Im quite sure there are some missing... according to someone else on another post this is what stats modify:
STR - P.Atk
DEX - Accuracy, Evasion, Crit. Probability, Shield Defense, Speed (movement)
CON - HP Total, HP Regen rate, Breath gauge, Shock / Bleed Resistance
INT - M.Atk, Curse Success
WIT - Casting Speed, Resistance to M. Attacks / Debuffs, Exceptional Dmg Probability
MEN - M.Def, MP Total, MP Regen, Poison Resist, Chance of Casting Interruption

I'm rather confused about what tattoo I can put on which char,

See following spread sheet made by Jute... it will answer all you questions

Thanks a lot all of you :) gonna make a summary of all the info Ive gathered so far below, it should make giving advice far easier for you guys too:

SE:
+4 Wit, -4 Men/+4 Con, -4 Str/+4 Dex, -4 Str

HE
+5 Dex, -5 Con/+4 Str -4 Con/+4 Men, -4 Int

Im actually doubting if I should tats on my Bountyhunter, I think Im going to let her like she is for now, no need to alter her stats when I don't see weaknesses.

HE
+5 Dex, -5 Con/+4 Str -4 Con/+4 Men, -4 Int

This is impossible for two reasons. One, there aren't any +5/-5 dyes (+5 is done by 2+3 or 1+4). Two, a Hawkeye can't touch Men.

+5 Dex, -5 Con/+4 Str -4 Con/+4 Men, -4 Int

This is impossible for two reasons. One, there aren't any +5/-5 dyes (+5 is done by 2+3 or 1+4). Two, a Hawkeye can't touch Men.



Following Jute's spreadsheet its possible though...And you are right about the +5/-5 should be 4 not 5, my mistake.

Let's make sure there isn't a mistake in my sheet...
I'll double check.

Okay looks like I need to modify this. I will fix it and repost it today.

Thanks Jute :)

Okay I've fixed it...I wish I could go back and fix all the old links. That sheet is in two places on my site and I'll need to fix it so that it's only in one.

The best link for my stuff is the main link. I update things from there:

Jute's stuff (http://juste.dreamhosters.com)

Ill only use your main link form now on ^_^

I went +5str-5con on my dwarf, then went to majestic heavy for a total of +7str-7con, still have good hp and stun rate isn't that bad, plus you can kill stuff alot quicker.

Heh. My dwarf has +8 str (dyes and PL set), +4 dex, and -11 Con. Works wonderful at level 44, but I don't use a pole, I use a blunt. I'd have to be nuts to pole with that setup.
