Can you guys show me good combinations to make a great build for an Abyss Walker?

Regards.
Come on people, does anyone can help me?

Thanks and regards.
Are you interested in PVP or mostly PVE?

Reason I ask is, for example, I've heard that STR really doesn't matter much for PVP, since you will be spamming your dagger skills (Which do not rely on STR amount, but skill level) instead of relying on your normal melee attacks which are rather weak relatively, or they don't get as much damage as quickly.

In turn DEX boosts will by far be the most important one to focus on. DEX means higher criticals, faster attack speed, run speed, higher evasion. You rely on all of that as a dagger class. So it's extremely important.

And if you are even further PVP based, you might want to add on more CON since you're so low in that as an Abyss Walker. You could take more STR off of it, again assuming your focus is PVP.

But most important first off is adding DEX at the expense of STR or CON.
Dex is your friend
PVE - +4 dex -4con / +4 str -4 con and +1 str -1 con (if you put both you'll get stunned ... like crazy).

PVP - +4 dex -4str, +1dex -1str, +4 con -4 STR

Note that DEX influences the land rate of you specials, no, it's not the crit rate that matters, but dex influences the land rate of specials, it's in the patche notes (not sure which ones, i'll let you know).

your 100% right however some how TH still land more then PW and PW has way more dex.
He will land more due to 77/78 skills no? Or does that lvl 5x something influence the land rate too? Anyway i think this is truly a mistery, at least to me.
Dex doesnt affect landrate, however it does affect skill recharge.

Once AW or PW get focus death, they land blows nearly every time.

My AW is gonna have +4 dex +4str until 77 then ill test out probably +con and +dex or maybe +str. Supposedly skill mastery (77 passive) is affected by +str for an AW so I will test to see if it makes a difference in skill recharge...
don't forget assassination at 78 that increase P atk, and skill land rate.

then you also got that lvl 80 fusion.

But yeah focus death is the bomb!! I used it on last PTS with my 79 AW sub...and it's awesome!
test

Dex doesnt affect landrate



wrong, DEX affect landrate, but not significant

Dex doesnt affect landrate, however it does affect skill recharge.


Dex: Increases attack speed, physical skill speed, accuracy, evasion, critical hit probability, success rate of dagger skills (such as Deadly Blow), shield defense success rate, and movement speed
noone's pretty sure about neither
I tested dependency skill success on DEX

1.setup : Doom set, dye +4DEX ... overall DEX 41 .... from 500 Deadly Blow (to NPC) 49% success
2. setup: Tallum set, no DYE..... overall DEX 34 ... from 500 Deadly Blow (to NPC) 44.5% success

so 7 points of DEX == 4,5% difference

it seems to me that every DEX points add 0.5% blows success
i knew it

Skill mastery is influenced by STR, it's not that great though unless you're running the Focus Skill Mastery toggle (lvl 78 skill) along with it and most of the time, you shouldn't be. It doesn't proc that much without FSM, only time I've ever used that toggle is Olympiad.
Devilstar is right, a skill mastery without the toggle doesnt rly work. I mostly use it in olympiad only too.

Talking about dyes i would say +4dex-4str should be everything you need, so you dont gimp your str to much and suck in pve / with bow.
I did +4dex not because of the landrate since i have focus death and its a very good might mortal selfbuff ,i did it to have around max runspeed, evasion, atk speed etc as possible (yeah i could do +5 for that i know :P)
pve. +5str -5 con, +4dex -4con

pvp. these differ...depends if you want to use a bow or not.
