    Great effort.

    One thing that I would like to point out is that at levels 60 - 65 there is actually decent equipment that allows you to to put some more points to STR. E.g.

    • L.60: Glyph Big Top, +3% hit / piece. This set gives no set bonus, but offers high dodge (an amazing +6% / piece) which makes it pretty decent.
    • L.61, 63, 65: Uncrafted Orlok set, again +3% hit / piece and this time you get a set bonus as well.
    • L.65: Angelic set , which is amazing actually, +3% hit / piece.


    I use those sets on my second bear, which is more STR oriented. At L.65 you can go 220 str / 109 dex and 95% hit without Mecha head (it would give a further +2% hit).

    L.65 Uncrafted Orlok was extensively tested with huge mob pulls in Fang (solo-ing 1st Floor - no elixirs used). You can tank comfortably with it. At 61 PVP Orlok is very good too, but not sure about the optimal build.

    Of course, you can't really play full str atm. Some say that the reason behind this is that bears would be OP if there wasn't a hit% penalty for pure STR (however, this is just an assumption).

    IMO, not being able to go full str makes things a bit trickier, which adds to the fun factor of the game. You have to experiment with gear /attribute distribution to find the combination of str / hit% that suits you. Then, knowing that you have reduced hit%, you might want to adjust your style, e.g. you want to make sure that you enter the room a lot earlier than the rest of the team to make sure you get all aggro in case taunt doesn't hit properly. In which case, you need enough time to aggro some mobs 'manually' lol. Also, when that bird constantly steals aggro , maybe it's time to draw your dagger?

    All that jazz makes the bear class more challenging to master and more fun to play (at least, this is how I see it. or choose to see it lol ).
