I'm trying to decide on what tats to mess with if any on my Blade Dancer... I know for sure I can't mess with Con because I can barely carry all that I need for a solo run out in the field.
Any reccomendations and suggestions are most welcome and Thanks in advanced!!!
if youre soloing and really arent grouping much, then +1-2+1. no noticeable accuracy penalty, a slight increase in either direction. beyond that i fear to tread.
That's the problem... doing my research... con determines how much I can carry... and for a good solo grind session... I barely have enough con to carry all that I need into the field... so would dex to cut be better since I have inspiration dance to make up for the loss in accuracy if I really needed the accuracy? and at B grade there are some armor choices I'm looking at... Zubei's Heavy for PDef and HP increase or Blue Wolf's Heavy for the stat modifiers, ATKSpd and HP regen increase. If I go Blue Wolf then I really shouldn't need the tats. That's what I'm beginning to really like about this game... theres so many choices to "evolve" your characters.
The weight capacity is the reason I said 'wait until you have B Grade duals'.
You need only one instead of three shots for B Grade (one third of the weight), and they also weigh less (two thirds of the weight) - in short it comes down from 9 weight per swing to 2.
At that point, weight capacity worries won't seem so big anymore.
Oh well that about explains it and yeah it would make life easier if I used less shot than now... being my dual spirit/raid +7 is x3 per hit. HMMMM many thanks for covering that base or I'da never understood the reasoning :-) Thank you all so far for your suggestions.
I've read the other posts in this thread, and for the most part I agree with them. Wait until B grade. For my BD I went +5 Dex -5 con. I had reasons for this. Dex will not only increase your evasion, it increases your run speed and your attack speed. My BD is in Tallum Heavy with +4 Dual Kesh's. Along with the +5 dex, his attack speed is very fast, the increase in accuracy seems to be getting me crits more often. I have always believed that a BD lives on his Speed. Right now I am even thinking of getting a +4Str -4 con tat so I can hit harder. Just thinking about it mind you, cause that's a horrible hit on my Con. It's -7 now, -11 gives me the shivers.
Leaving a fighter with 21 CON...is courageous. I wonder how much HP you will have left, not to mention stun resist.
Personally, my BD will hit BW soon and I will just +4 WIT her to cast a bit faster, I don't believe taking hits on her CON will make me so much happier in the long run.
and that is perfectly acceptable. We must each play our characters in accordance with our play style. Though you do give me pause to wonder about that Wit thing. hmmmmm
Setup as he is now, he able to stand up against other fighters his level pretty well, and I like that...
Yep, Id have to agree in pve it doesnt really matter if you nerf your CON.
Once you hit B grade and use 1 SS per shot instead of 3, youll notice how 5k-6k BSS (should be your carring capacity by then with nerfed con) is more than enough to last the night of grinding. So as someone said before, wait till your in B grade to tweek your stats.
going +4str -4con got me to 77. now at 77 i took it off tho cause you tend to appreciate your con at those high lvls.
the +4str is a nice boost for bd's and helps soloing but you should party more often too. after all you are a bd. it just sounds like solo is all u do. nothing wrong with that ofcourse dont get me wrong :D
I solo primarily right now... until I hit that solo wall which I can probably forsee in my early 50's which will probably force me to rely on groups which isn't a problem... I just want to establish my foundation of mats/adena which I can thrive on a bit and a better understanding of the limits/strengths of my character. The best way to do that IMO is by solo work/manoring/questing/7signs for AA for GHPs and stuff like that.
