The boring answer is that it all depends what is the best tank stat. DEX gives you block% and parry% but what the best tank stat and e.g. jewelry options are all depends on what your HP, DEF and block% are. In early game getting more DEF might reduce incoming damage more than getting more block% and block% only shines when you have a lot of it. Closer to endgame you want to maximize your block% for ultimate damage mitigation and then go towards maximum HP after obtaining max block%. At the same time when you do this you sacrifice your damage output. Ranger (and blade with their AoE skill) is of course the exception where DEX is both offensive and defensive but for any other class I wouldn't advise putting in DEX and would obtain block% via other means (+10 set, Speedo+3s, Defender's set 4/5, block% shield, weapon choices etc). For ranger I would go full DEX with ATK% in suit and add get a good HP pet for tanking in grinding conditions. However, if you want to tank in cursed dungeons, you need to have also a high HP pool in which case you cannot go full DEX. I have a lvl 158 BP with 150 PvE set +10 and have two stat pages: full STR and full STA and I wouldn't put any points in DEX for a BP. I use the full STR option for grinding (AoE and 1v1, it's perfectly sufficient to tank any number of normal mobs) and the full STA option for occasional tanking in cursed dungeons / PvP. I can easily achieve max block% with my PvE set, 15% block shield and Speedo+3s. I actually use Champion's rings (STR) and +28% ATK in suit to get out some more AoE DPS when tanking in dungeons because I would simply have too much HP and having the tank also do a bit more damage makes dungeon clear times faster. You can get parry% only via DEX (and some prems and some set bonuses) which helps in tanking but apparently those numbers in the stat screen make no sense (also block% in stat screen is not the actual block%).
Hi Noel! I just found your channel and I'm loving the videos and I can't wait to see more! I wanted to ask, would you be able to make a walkthrough video of your process in lvling up with a character or how you lvled up? I'm trying to figure out the best way to go about lvling and going through everything as a F2P player, at least lvling from 1 to 60. Also DEX has always usually been my go to, because of speed, DMG, and block rate, so I loved how you explained it, it was very well said! I also want to ask, what kind of set are you using/running if you're putting more stat points on DEX? What would be the best to have? Should I add stam? Or should I keep putting Dex even on everything else as well? Also last thing for now, I wanted to find out, how long did it take you to get to lvl 122? I apologize for all of the questions but I'm always wondering about this stuff and excited to get back into Flyff Universe again, I stopped playing a year ago. Keep up the amazing work and you're doing great!! I can't wait to see more!
Hey mate, thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad to hear you're getting back into the game :) I'll definitely focus on making a vid within the next couple of days for an efficient levelling method. To answer your question about statting Dex - since the block cap is 75%, ideally you want to keep running Dex until you hit this number. But you also want to factor in the block you get from buffs and your items/sets as well as your future sets. That's just a tl;dr so I'll make a follow-up vid to this! I play really inconsistently since I've been studying and working a lot atm, but I believe it was around 60 to 80 hours of playtime to get my ranger to 122 and my RM to 116. I'm not too sure but I'll definitely track my playtime when I make a knight soon!
I think saying Dex is a better tank stat over Sta is a bit simple. Reality is that block is the best tank stat, and that it happens to increased via Dex. But one needs to consider equipment and weapons first. Take my BRM for example, I am all int, with a mythical silver stick, 2x speedo+3, and a +8 120 set. That combined with my buffs caps my block rate, all without needing to add a single point of dex. The only class I would consider adding more dex after capping block rate would be rangers, otherwise it is better to add your class' damage stat or stamina for the hp increase.
Thanks for the input! That's true, block is the best stat bc of a combination of how often it triggers and the 80% damage reduction. But in general, this is just a vid on min maxing your tankiness and not focussed on both damage and tank minmaxing so the parry stat that dex increases is also required for min maxing your tankiness.
