Problem Encountered - 50/50 Dex-Str Bear

[flyingscv]

I've realized something after I started builing a 50-50 bear... I'm always lacking enough dex or str to wear the same level equips! Is this something I will have to grapple with throughout the levels (always wearing items a few levels down), or does it get better at the higher level? I have all these great same level stuff... but it breaks my heart I either don't have enough Str or Dex to equip them!

At 50% your going to have the same issue now only worse later on. End game stats look roughly like this, 75% into main stat and 25% into whatever else. If I had some time I would put down some data but I've gotta jet out of here.

What level are you? Towards the later levels, going 50/50 Str/Dex will need booster items in order to put on the level appropriate gear.

You can, even if after a respec if you are not already divided the STR/DEX points equally. The trick is to boost the stat you want to use by wearing a set of low level pinks BEFORE changing them into the final gear. See Ellyidol Guide for details.

My Fury Fighters set takes about 173 str to equip, so what I do IS, respec my stats to about 173 and save that build as "Pre-FF Set". Now with the added str bonuses that comes with the full FF set I get roughly +48 str (extra points that can be spent somewhere else)from the gear. Then is repsec my str stat to 173and remove -48 points, which gives me 144 to put into whatever I wish, then I save that build as "FF Set". Make sense? Ylou can do the same, just pick a main gear stat to invest and go from there.
