[The Tortoise]

with one for priest?? i want mini for int +1 but dose it make a diff? and i like EWE/AWE look better and if AWE/EWE witch one lol

[Walts]

minis and yes i guess it does make a differents but i dun feel like explaining cuz i might say something wrong and everyone will correct me ;_;

[~Axle~]

Not a huge difference. What I like most about them - is that there is no level requirement. Unlike EwE's.

Miniglasses because as a priest, INT will be much higher than STR, meaning that each point of INT that you don't have to spend status points on will provide you with a greater number of status points to spend on other things vs if you were to have an item provide you with a STR bonus. If that didn't make sense, let me give numbers.

If I'm not mistaken, it costs 10 status points to buy 1 point of an attribute when that attribute is 81-90. It may only cost your 3 or 4 status points per point of STR since you aren't likely to have more than 20-30.

Let's say you want 85 total INT (just tossing out a hypothetical number). If you use a pair of miniglasses[1], then you would only need to purchase with status points 84 of those 85, thus saving yourself 10 points which would allow you to buy roughly 2-3 points of STR, basically giving you double or triple more STR than the A/EWE would've given you in addition to getting the boost to INT.

If you look at it another way, an A/EWE actually gives you negative INT since the bonus to STR doesn't even come close to offsetting the cost of a single point of INT.

OK thank you very much guys

It's a matter of opinion really.

To me 1int is garbage, looks are far more useful. Also I -could- spec 168 int, higher if I didn't care about break points. *168 = multiple 28, which is 7 and 4. Basically highest int that you should ever spec on hp*
But I only spec 140 anyway. .-.
So just go with whatever you like. ;3


@Varis: I Spec'd more than 20-30 str on my HP. :<

If he's a Priest, why would he want Str.? Please correct me if I'm being stupid.

Str is for SQI'd priests in PvP.

Even if you spec'd 50-60 str, you'd still be spending fewer stat points per point of STR than per point of INT. It's not a big deal either way, though. I just always try to be as efficient with my points as possible. I use a Blinker[1] for flee builds, for example, because I put my AGI higher than anything else, so that 1 point of AGI goes further than 1 point of INT or STR would.

Oh. So he's a BP?

     Wait .. I'm foncused, there's a "breakpoint" for priests? What's that s'pose to mean? I understand that there's a "breakpoint" for IC which is at 150 DEX; but, what's INT Breakpoint?

It's not a 'breakpoint' in the IC-dex sense; rather, it is a INT level that allows you to hit the bonuses for +Max MATK and +Min MATK at the same time, or at least within 1-2 points within each other, which happens at intervals of 5 and 7 respectively. (such as 140, 155, 161 etc)

[goldmind]

     Mmm .. I'm trying to understand. Can you explain it in more simpler terms?

[Avix_Aao~]

If you can fit int in a magic caster character I say go with it the 1+ str from ewe/awe doesn't increase weight capacity only base str increases it ( well i thinks iono I need to look at that part again) but I will go with int for that
