I have +4 strength -4 con on my WarSmith and +dex on my Bounty Hunter and it seems to work ok. I have an AOBA with Health SA on the BH and a Halberd with Haste SA on the WS. :cool:
I have +4 str -4 con. I hardly notice the hp difference. health sa on a weopon willjust about counter it. i so rarely have a problem with hp. if your hp is going down super fast, another 1000 hp is not going to save you.
on my ws, i have +4con-4 dex so that i can carry more shots...weeeeeee
I went all out +5 Str, +4dex, -9 con. Add in Tallum Plate stats and im sitting at +7 Str, +4 dex, -11 con total. Yeah, I dont look like a dwarf from hp perspective, but I do some very decent damage, which is working nicely in PvE and mass PvP (1v1 I think +con is much better).
When poling, the amount of damage I do is directly related to how long I live, since I get it back in VR. I kill faster and as long as I'm swinging have no trouble staying alive with a polearm. :)

I will add that with this build Hammer Crush / Stun Attack can be spammed.

This will change CT1 :(. No more poling just with VR3 so most people will probably want to go +con after that if they want to keep poling.
I know everyone will probably think I'm insane but I've only ever used VR3 once or twice to pole. I never have it available to me. I have a prophet who heals for me OOP and that's it.
I take on an room and a small room (+4) mobs or so by myself. Still excellent EXP in catas. Can't wait for the BS to show up tonight and I can really pimp my dwarf with some old C equipment :D
Tats to come at 50 lol....at least I'm realistic :P
Losing the HP doesn't bother me nearly as much as dropping my carrying weight. While I can circumvent the HP, the weight limit hit on droping your CON is massive. And BTW its about ~60 P.Atk difference on a +4 STR tattoo, cus I have only a +4STR/-4CON on. And thats all i'm getting for now. Cus I love loading up with 30K SS, Hundreds of supplies and not coming in for a week... Also when your training mobs to level you really need a larger HP Pool, not all of us have healers to run behind us. Wish I could have my +4 Dex tho...
