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?

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

Spoiler:
And your strength stuff too. :ugeek:

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.
