basketball said:dont touch energy. dats a fact.
u need high str for a kicker (MA) like bout 250, and high vit... also above 200...
dex i really dont know... it depends, if u usin a shiled and want max block...
actually im not sure at all in the dex part...
about 118 2 use the best Katars...
wait for more answers...
u sure? str pumpin ur kicks dmg alot... dats what every1 told me...Speederländer said:Eh?
High str as a kicker?
You need enough str to wear your equipment. Then go for crushing blow, lifetap and amp as need. Especially CB. You do NOT need to pump str if you have good CB.
Actually pumping strenght or dex will equally enhanced your kick damage so either is good. Pump Str for Item Req and Dex for max block or Item Req.basketball said:u sure? str pumpin ur kicks dmg alot... dats what every1 told me...
after reset im about 2 start my first kicker sin so i cant tell alot...
still, im sure dat str give more 2 kick dmg.
No. "Pumping" a stat means taking it high than basic equipment requirements. And for a kicker, unless you are making a titan, you are better off getting enough str/dex for equipment/block(if not C-C) and then adding extra "damage" via effects like crushing blow and amp. The returns on kick damage by pumping stats beyond equipment reqs are hardly worth it.BatTheMan said:Actually pumping strenght or dex will equally enhanced your kick damage so either is good.

I agree with you I was just correcting basketball that if you actually want to rely on your kick damage than pump Dex instead of Str, and Str is only needed to use gear whereas Dex increases Block and Ar.Speederländer said:No. "Pumping" a stat means taking it high than basic equipment requirements.

I'm not so big on stats myself but if I recall correctly then since 1.10 the formula changed and increasing strength has a greater effect than dex. (but I agree with the 'get minimum to meet reqs only' suggestion - although if ur 1st char after reset is gonna be a kicksin, you probably won't be planning equipment)BatTheMan said:Actually pumping strenght or dex will equally enhanced your kick damage so either is good.

i meant Dtail.jrichard said:Strength and Dex don't increase kick damage equally.
Basketball, most Dtalon users rely more on effects such as crushing blow which get applied repeatedly very fast with the multiple kicks. Kicker has come to refer to talon builds instead of an assassin using any of the kick skills.
If you are wanting to use Dtail, then investing into strength is a decent option as the increase from strength gets multiplied by the Dtail bonus. It doesn't hit as fast so the benefit of going for effects on your kicks are far less.
The same goes with Dflight, increasing strength would do more for overall damage than looking for effects.

edit: However, Titan kicker builds can be a lot of fun. It's not something i'd reccomend as a first ladder character though.
