Well, I'm trying to figure out whether it would be better to +4DEX/-5STR or +4CON/-5STR for my Necro, if he ever gets that high. I like how with the extra DEX I am no longer obscenely slow. I also like how CON will let me have more HP, carry more pots/shots and all of those other goodies.
I won't get both because I am also going to get +4INT/-4MEN and +4WIT/-4MEN of course.
I went for con on my nuker. Con=stun resist, and more hp - more hp = cdl "low" is a safer number. Ahh.. and con also means you can carry more stuff.. more cursed bones.. more shots..
Dex is speed and agility. The increase in speed isn't really all that much, and if you use a shield it takes away any bonus you might get from agility.
That's the answer that I was expecting except that I don't want to DEX to have more Evasion, I want it for more Speed. With 4 more DEX I achieve 126 Speed, according to l2calc; whereas, with no DEX buff I have 121 Speed which is the slowest speed.
Oh well, I guess that since DEX only has one advantage and CON has multiple, I'm going to get the +4CON/-5STR.
Yea - and like you pointed out (and I learned the expensive way) the dex doesn't increase your speed by all that much - you're better off investing in haste or ww2 pots, and having all the other advantages from the +con tat.
Your evasion is so little anyway that do not bother with it. Only thing you would need dex for is running speed and possibly shield block rate. But running speed is useless when by some accident mob or player stuns you. Go for +con.
Now all that's left is to actually get my nuker to 40. That won't be until I reach 52 on my BD. Which will take upwards of 3 weeks, playing on weekends only.
Keep your toon loged in all the time, if your not out hunting, have a buy or sell shop set up.
if it d/c thats fine, just log him back in later after you see he's d/c.
that way when you get home, you don't have to waste time loging in or any of that crazy stuff.
And always restock your toon before you log off/set shop, that way you'll know your set and ready to head out the next time you want to go play.
Try to maximize your play time, don't waste it at the arena, I rarely go to the arena, but when I do; I end up wasting a good 2-3 hours fooling around there (so long as there is other people there).
at lvl 30 you can easily port right to cuma swamps and solo for an hour every night, that would help you to lvl faster, you don't have to play for 5 hours every night, just dedicate some time to it, and you'd find your self in much better pasistion.
if you want to see your necro get to 40 then do that, your BD to 52 will take alot longer then your necro to 40 will (trust me). oh and gurgan flower guarden is a nice place to solo 30-37ish as a wiz.
I can't leave a shop on all the time, my family occasionally uses this computer, but I try not to let them. My Wizard is already in Cruma, he will probably go to Gorgon's Flower Garden later, I went there on my BD when he was lvl 35-ish. I want to get my BD to 52 because I already decided to do that. If I get my Wizard to 40, I probably won't stop until he's like 46.

just set goals.
thats all it is, if you aren't ready to play your Necro yet, then you should of waited to ask the question then.
gorgons is great from 30 to 37 only (32 is the quest), you can still hit cuma from 37 to 38, but once you hit 38 you need to go to hunters village or oren and kill the orcs or Sea of spores (watch out for orphian, she has a long argo range).
Yeah, I know I should've waited to ask, but I was bored and had nothing to do at home. I plan to go to Gorgon's Flower Garden at 32 for that quest and then Sea of Spores around 37 to 44, if I can. Hopefully I can get Spell Book: Transfer Pain.
