At 150 (which is the level Im at now), the formula equates to 5 dex = 1 wep atk. With that being said, the 15 dex/1 str blue arnahs I use is equivalent to 2 atk 5-6 dex (depends on if I can use that str point or not) facestompers.
With that in mind, I'll give you the pros and cons:
Pros of archer shoes/Cons of facestompers
-Speed/jump: You'll get more speed/jump from your archer shoes because having stats on those lines will require you to get more 30's to work. In my example, I have 3 30's on my shoes, meaning 15 jump, 3 speed. A 2 atk 6 dex face stomper will have 10 jump 2 speed or 11 jump 1 speed depending on scrolling.
-Price: My 15/1 shoes would sell for 100-150 mill, while 2/6 facestompers will be in the 350-500 range. The price gap is quite substantial and with the given conversion rates of dex/atk, Im fine with using my archer shoes.
Pros of facestompers/Cons of archer shoes
-Versatility: Facestompers can be used by my sister's hermit if I so choose to do so but my archer shoes cannot, meaning that while the archer shoes are nice for my character, they're exclusive to my character. Should I choose to start another character, I'll have to buy new shoes instead of just moving over my facestompers.
-Dex/Atk ratio: As you get more dex, the attack vs. Dex ratio increases. At say 180, it'll be somewhere in the 6-7 dex = 1 atk range. Assuming 7 dex = 1 atk, my shoes will then become 2 atk 2 dex facestompers at best. Alternatively, the facestompers will now become equivalent to roughly 20 dex shoes. 2/6 facestompers are easier to scroll than 20 dex shoes so as you get higher, the facestompers gain effectiveness.
With that being said, after weighing the choices, I decided that archer shoes were a better fit for me: I dont level very fast so getting to 180 will take forever if at all. I dont have a tendency to start new characters so the other pro for facestompers is also neglected. The way I have it, I have cheap, but equally effective shoes and have roughly level 15 haste when I train (130 speed, 118 jump). In the end, you factor all that in and make your choice. Hope this helps.
