New Tattoo for B Grade BD

Hello,

I'm looking for some advice for tattoos.
I previously had a + STR / - CON tattoo on my BD when it just got it's C Grade.
The reduction on how much he could carry was horrible (I was struggling to carry 500 CSS meaning I had to go back to town to re-supply every 10 mins), so I quickly removed the tat and never bothered again.

Yesterday, I decided I had some spare money and wanted to experiment again.
I've been playing an assassin alt recently who I intended to go PR, but I noticed the levelling starting to get slow with a bow and swapped for a dagger. I'm really enjoying the attack speed and the crit rate with my new dagger, and I've developed an appreciation for DEX now.

So I applied the following thinking to my BD's new tat.
As DE's have such low CON to start with and it sucks being stunned all the time, I really didn't want to do the same as last time and go + STR / -CON. Instead, I decided to go +DEX / -STR.

I know BD's should maximise their ability to hit hard, but I thought the increase in attack speed and crit rate might make up for the reduction in p atk. Also, Dance of Warrior can offset the p atk loss too.

Do you think this will work out?

500 CSS? What else were you carrying around with you, CP pots and a few backup weapons? o_O

+DEX/-STR is never a "DPS tattoo" for anyone not holding a dagger or bow.

Not sure what I was carrying now :)
Before the tat, I could carry about 1500 so it was a marked decrease.

So, you reckon the crits and atk speed wouldn't compensate for the decreased in p atk?

Its still very odd you could only cary that much shots......
My human mystic with a total of -5 Con ( due to tats and set bonus) with 1 1/2 sets of armor can still cary at leasy 4000 shots or more..... can really go any worse than that capacity wise......

There is a problem, and you should have a hard look at what your carrying. SB , cp pots, heal pots, any pots, almost everything has a weight. If you want to increase your dps then your initlal tatoo is the best ... +str - con >>>> +dex-anything dps wise.

So get the +str =cpn tatoo back, look at what your carrying thats weighing you down. If my nerfed con mystic can carry 4k + shots, so can you.

So, you reckon the crits and atk speed wouldn't compensate for the decreased in p atk?

No, not by far.

Do the math yourself :P (http://l2p.bravehost.com/)

No problem carrying stuff now, i can carry several days worth of BSS. Must have been carrying tonnes of stuff back then and didn't realise.

Thanks for the link, time to get laser tattoo removal I think :)
