Can A Katana Do Dmg Based On Dex In Pf Meaning

Jun 07, 2014  IMO this ranking should be based on if you were using a dex build, as those are the people meant to be using katanas. Actually you cant say that katanas belong to dex builds in this game because infusions exist.you can have a mage 2H a claymore infused with magic and do more melee damage than a strength build so. They have dex scaling. When reinforced it reaches an S rank in DEX scaling, it can deal slash or thrust damage, it has the Hold weapon art common to Katanas which is great in PvP and good in PvE (the slash out of the Hold does great damage but the parry can be tough to get used to), it deals 36 Bleed buildup when reinforced to +5 (higher than average for Bleed weapons). Dex already gives a bonus to so many important stats that to include Dex to damage for say, a dervish dancer, it makes it stupid easy for characters to simply max their dexterity and call it a day. Why bother putting any points at all in strength? It's a necessity for so many play styles, but in terms of realism, this is an area where Pathfinder breaks down.

Jan 12, 2014 Right now I'm in Sens fortress and with a dex weapon you still only get 1 hit in and id rather get a good 500 hit in rather than some tiny. katana doing 100 dmg or running around every single mob that can be backstabbed just to backstab only (its boring). Dex weapons also barely ever break guard or stagger enemies.

Maplestory's Stats Use

The Katana is very much a Strength-based weapon. When I see people wanting to get Dex-to-damage with such a weapon it makes me suspect they have conflated skill with Dexterity. 10.6 dmg to usb. As an experienced martial artist who is competent with this weapon, allowing Dex-to-damage with it would offend my sensibilities. If you’re looking to boost your damage with ranged weapons, the Deadly Aim Feat works similarly to Power Attack for ranged weapons. Aside from those exceptions. You can’t add Dex to damage for ranged weapons. Composite Longbows and Shortbows can add your STR mod to damage, but there is a gold cost for each point of strength you add in damage.

  Stat distribution in Maple is incredibly simplified compared to some MMOs. Each class (except Xenon) has a main stat (which increases you damage significantly), a secondary stat (which increases your damage, but at a fraction of the amount compared to main stat), and either attack (for physical classes) or magic attack (for mages). They don't mean anything beyond that, so all you have to do is auto-assign your AP to your main stat (STR, in your case, don't put points in DEX).
  In the very early days of the game, stats mattered slightly more (for example, equips used to have secondary stat requirements, like 100 STR and 50 DEX to equip something), however they were simplified in an update several years ago. So the descriptions of the stats are rather outdated and don't mean anything, at this point. Since characters can't learn skills outside of their job branch and cannot equip gear that's not for their class, there's no need to apply any points to INT or LUK.
  If you've already applied points to DEX or any of the other skills, it's possible to reset your stat distribution by purchasing a reset scroll from NPC Matilda (in regular servers) or the cash shop (Reboot and regular servers). Matilda sells them for 3,000,000 mesos each (?) and I don't recall what they'd sold for in the cash shop.

  When you level up, you get two types of points: Ability Points (AP) and Skill Points (SP).
  Each class has a single stat into which all its AP need to go (except Xenon). You have a convenient 'auto-assign' button on your Stats window for that. If, as a warrior, you have been putting AP into DEX or INT, you have been wasting your AP. They need to all be in STR. If you want to give it some kind of real-world rationale, then the STR gives you the strength to swing your heavy weapon more effectively. The weapon itself doesn't get any stronger.
  SP, or skill points, are what controls the skill power. The more skill points you put into an attacking skill, the more damage it does per hit (using the same weapon and character stats). INT does absolutely nothing for you as a warrior, it doesn't increase skill damage.
  Generally speaking, the damage formula for a warrior goes something like this:
  damage_range = C * STR * ATT * (potential_buffs)
  Where
  - damage_range is what is shown in your Stats window as 'Damage' (either min or max)
  - C is various constants that you can't change
  - STR is your STR stat (for other classes it would be their main stat. For example, for thieves, it's LUK all the way)
  - ATT is the total 'ATT' stat on your equipment and your buff skills
  - (potential_buffs) is additional buffs that come from your gear, and we can ignore them for the sake of this discussion
  The damage per hit is simply:
  damage_per_hit = damage_range * skill_%
  So if, for example, your DAMAGE displayed in your Stats window is 2000~3000 and your skill says it hits 150%, then each hit will be between 3000 and 4500 (less a reduction due to enemy defense, and with a possible bonus if you're close to enemy level).
  Maplestory is very simplistic in its use of stats. There is no real-world or even D&D logic to it.

  So let me ask you this, then. Since my entire view of the game has been wrong for many years. If putting any stats in DEX or INT doesn't do anything, then what is the point of giving the different stats definitions?
  STR: Determines the power of your physical attacks.
  DEX: Determines how much damage and avoidability you can take.
  INT: Determines the power of your magic attacks.
  LUK: Determines your overall avoidability.
  I'm assuming avoidability means not getting hit by monsters. You can walk past mosters and not get thrown back. And, dexterity determines how much damage enemies give you. Intelligence is your skills (AKA: Magic attacks. Unless Magicians main physical attacks are the magic attacks, then I can understand how it doesn't correlate to skills.) And luck, determining your avoidability all together so you don't take any attacks from anything.
  If all of this is a lie, and they all just amp your main attack damage depending on your class/hero, then are these definition just, obsolete?
• Even as a Warrior, the skills they use arent Magic (INT) based. You can look at it that way.

  Yes, the descriptions are misleading, although they all say, 'It's the <class-type> main attack stat' in addition to the sentences you copied.
  Strictly speaking, they are true. However, the game mechanics are such that defense and avoidability do very little for your survivability, and you're much better off putting all your AP into the stat that gives you damage, so you can kill enemies before they hurt you too much. As for physical vs. magical attacks, that is unfortunately not explained, but is simple: all magician skills, and only magician skills, are magical attack. Everyone else's skills are physical attacks.
  Your job instructor does tell you, in dialog, what stat to put your AP in (and also says to use the 'auto-assign') but few people read or remember dialog.
