I mean, Dex is still part of the damage formula as well as the bow damage and all those weird and hard to understand mechanics of it.
What I came up with my sniper is an Aspd Auto blitz Hybrid with Nice Bow damage AND Falcon damage focusing on flee as a method of survival and Just so happens the int is high enough to land a very nice Fa strike as a bonus.
You Will still need the attacks landing hits in case you fight with something like a ghost monster or Etc, simply put: Dex is needed.
Kirby attempted a build with more int than dex and agi and the results he obtained I was very unsatisfied with his build, he was slow as heck,his damage was decent but he was slow at the pace that the falcon barely even attacked(Taking note that having a high % isnt everything) also not taking into notice the massive amounts of times he has died.
In turn My build was much more advantageous,Speed, Nimble, even though the bird didnt have as much % to atack as kirby's I was going was fast enough to cope for it giving better results.
So In My Theory:
5 hits per second at % 35 of Auto blitz make it at least??1 auto blitz per second,the bird takes approx 2 seconds to attack fully so...(Im not done fully understanding how it really works so bear with me)
You also need High amount of aspd, even if you have a high % of auto blitz, it will mean nothing if you cant hit repeatedly enough to make it worth it, also dex is needed to land bow hits meanwhile the bird blitz, holding down the enemy simultaneously achieving what very few snipers/ hunters in the server can: A Complete Stun Lock,when the monster will not move even in Position lag.
(endure Obviously will stop this.)
So if you miss with your bow and still hit with the bird it be Ineficient since you wont accomplish a stun lock at all. you need both to land to achieve stun lock imo.
No flames please, I stated here whats to my knowledge and i didnt come here and shared my knowledge just so i could be insulted, so please refrain.
