You're not of my concern. My corcern is providing the OP with a competent build that fits his liking. Pure STR will never be the same as Pure DEX, so I found it astounding how you argue it to be. I've played endgame for quite a while, so I believe my advice is irrefutable, you've yet to provide concrete reasoning. In fact, out of all of you, Xyzther is the one giving me the most noteworthy replies.
