Why weaponskill is better than strength.

[Luth]

Hi,

many people believe that strength is better than weaponskill, but i believe that weaponskill stacking is way superior.
I created a chart to make this a little more clear, feel free to discuss it:

Q: Does this chart make any sense?

Spoiler:

A: No. But i stole all your weaponskill stuff, while you tried to figure it out.

Spoiler:

And your strength stuff too.

haha you sneaky bastard =D

but yes, on retail, as i started with WAR every highlvl slayer told me to use WS gems. so yes. maybe strength is better in T1 but later WS will rule!

Most Slayers had strength on cap without any gems

Depends on what you're hitting! maxing str will destroy softer classes, while using WS will help with killing tanks and your chance of parry..... playing MDPS i usually try and mix them up a bit. Parrying can be very important as a slayer or choppa. as it eats up alot of dmg coming at you.

Ws also increases armor penetration so its also usefull against rdps
