What you said makes no sense in terms of answering his question. Which do you use more when fighting, melee or range?

Simply put, Str affects your Melee damage (10 str=4 max, 3 min), and Dex affects Range damage (10 dex= 4 max 2 min). If you do melee, str, if you're a ranger, dex. If you do a lot of crafting, dex. If you haven't done refine yet, stop dex and do strength. If you don't care about refining and you're a ranger, start caring.

270 dex for 80% balance on all weapons. 300 base STR is way harder than 300 base DEX, since max base STR is around 300 iirc, and max DEX is around 400~600.

I already have most str skills rank 1!! i have rank 1 ar , rank 1 range, rank 1 refine........... the reason i titled this str or dex is because which would make me do more damage in the long run...Now yes i know str for damage, but i needed to know like what the pros of having high dex with melee and high str with melee... that was what i was intending to ask, and then he asked about range or melee which is another question i needed to ask. Hope that kinda cleared it up...sorry if i made it diffcult to understand at 1st.....

Well this is kinda useless but i'll say it anyways Currently (G12) you cant get 300 str of course g13 allows you too 300 str base will require ALLOT of ap lol and by that i also mean rank 1 blaze and fireball for the last 11 or 14 str needed to prob hit 300 str
Edited for mistake on my part :P

Sword Mastery and Combat Mastery pretty much knock off 30% balance which is 120 dex meaning you only need 200 dex to equip any other sword with 0% balance. As for everything else you need 260 dex with the weapon being 0% balance.

Dex is really easy to get due the amount of life skills that give. Its just tedious as for Str only a few things give it. r1 FH and r1 Carpentry being the prime sources of str aswell as the standard WM, CM, Smash. Str is definitely better for spamming, Shadow missions especially, Their Method, Shadow Cast City, you name it. A great Str stat with enchanted upgraded gear can go along way especially if you can break 300 - 350 max damage on dual wielding.
Dex on the other hand is only great if you only have alot of it and it be great if I knew what Ego you had. Range fails short for humans in SM's as Elves can do it better with mounted archery and crash shot spammage but that doesn't mean its useless for Crash Shot spam in SCC. Crash Shot is excellent for soloing SCC HM but does require alot of power for it to be effective. I can't help any further unless I know your equipment but from right now I would focus in Melee.

I have 2 upgraded broadswords , val set, and a llb upgraded fully. my ego is a gladius....................Mmk i know since g13 coming out alot of skills are coming out that will give me str and dex. Would it be better go work on str or would it be better to work on range? I want moves like crashshot but if i can windmill and kill easy that sounds way better to me ? Just kinda confused on if range or melee is better now

You're a Human. You get to dual-wield swords. Your Melee capabilities are more similar to Giants then your Ranged capabilities to Elves.
Melee is going to help you out more than Ranged will.

i've had the same dilemma as well. 220 base str and 214 base dex. i'd suggest working on your str primarily, and dex on the side, since you are a warrior. if you dont use any minus dex equips regularly, i dont really see a point to work more on dex if your balance is already 80%. i was only raising dex because my burst knight equips minused a lot of dex, giving my 15% balance sword 76% balance or so, as opposed to 80% without the burst knight equips on. you should reach for final hit rank 1; last rank gives u 10 str :O plus it's a very useful skill. carpentry is do-able~ it's just a lot of sitting down and grinding that crap for a long time. im currently on rank 5 carpentry, and im feeling the slowness of it, but it is do-able! i find it way less boring than weaving. wayyyyy.

Sounds like you primarily do melee. Str then. You have plenty of dex to help your melee, more dex would just to be to help your range. If you decide you like range more after training some stuff, then boost it. Otherwise str, str, str.
