crit power always have been affected by str...
crit RATE was affected by dex....
After tauti did anything change on that??
i mean... i was told yesterday that after tauti dex is increasing crit rate and crit power...
lf confirmation... cause if its true i think dex is the way to go...if not str is better i guess think land rate is not bad.
After tauti for other and yull dex effects skill crit rate and speed as i know.
Thats what i tought as well...
Dex also affect evasion..
Reading my light armor mastery it says that skill crit RATE is increased based on my dex...but says nothing about crit power..
STR: P. atk (normal dmg, crit dmg, and skill power), skill reset
DEX: P. crit rate, P. accuracy, P. evasion, Atk. speed, speed, skill crit rate
P. crit rate and Atk speed are virtually useless to a dagger (unless you're doing Oly; in that case, atk speed increases casting speed of physical skills). I have 540 P crit (40 over limit) without Focus SA, crit hat, augments, istina ring. 1500 Atk speed can be obtained in PvE or open PvP without warrior's harmony.
I gained maybe like 4 P. accuracy and P. evasion with my +15 DEX tattoos.
What it comes down to is, do you want patk/skill reset or skill crit rate and a few other minor stats? skill resets reduces your CD to 0, while skill crit rate can double your buff timer or crit (more dmg; makes up for the p. atk from STR). It really depends on the skill reset rate and skill crit rate of +15 stats, and we do not know that kind of info.
Personally, I think STR is still much better in PvE. In oly, it's a toss between DEX and STR. I use DEX.

Ok...now i got confused...
You started stating that str gives crit power...so that means str = +dmg on blows in general.
Dex gives atk speed, acc, evasion and all those...but lets talk about pvp in general (non oly)
. I wont need those dex for attack speed then.
So isnt it str better since they give extra dm per skill ?
Considering pvp with sonatas and buffs...
Whats the real positive side on dex OUTSIDE oly?
Just evasion,and those 4 acc?
The crit rate with sonatas and focus will be around 500 if not higher...
Crit rate for skill is different then the crit rate from normal hits?
I mean if i get 500 crit rate withou dex dyes and then add those 15 dex will it really make me land more crit on blows?
What do you say?
Thanks again for the help
i don't really know what more i can say... both are good in different aspect. and you need to do your research right. read light armor mastery description.
p.s. i like to run around with 300 speed as a fat dwarf.
that's the point. in pve, consistent dmg is better imo. in pvp, if you crit a healer or something, he's likely to die (assuming you have good assists, etc).
with +15 dex do you crit like a LOT.... or still like 1/10 - 1/15 blows?
the latter part. most items in this game are meant to give you a small boost that add up if you are fully geared. if it doubles your crit or even 30/50% more, don't you think everyone would have gotten their tattoos already?
it all depends how often you get yours skill crit, you may have 21 dex + and crit a lot (dbl skill dmg) or have +21str and krit every 10th hit but have a generally bigger damage cos of str, weather yours p atck increases twice from +21 str I doubt so much
I honestly feel like you get a better bang for a buck with Legendary STR dyes. You gain 3 dex and 15 str. Then again I still gain a lot of stats from things like castle cloak, talisman of longing, etc. I experimented with dex and switched back to full legendary STR.

err, "bang for your buck" when str is hella expensive X.X
dex is getting buffed in chapter 3. if u don't have much cash to switch tats then, get dex so u don't have to worry later :) i used to have 3 lv5 leg str tats too. my skills reset like crazy, but i was hella slow :/
My friend D Elf Othell and me Light Elf..ofc now these conclusions might be false, because was tested before Tauti, but me as a light elf found that i easier win against other classes than him and do more damage at the same lvl and items, because of better crit landing, but now ofc there are changes after tauti.. needs new testing, but i still think as a light elf i guess i shoud go for DEX, i win more in that way. Often skill crit land and increased crit power with passive skills enchanted and maybe with STR accessory is good way..
I am still a bit confused, hard still to decide which way to go.. this one is partially accepted opinion, but fills bigger part of gap :)
