Hi dex/str/luk-that big of a deal?

I'm somewhat of a damage whore. I like seeing big numbers, but I don't flaunt my stuff or make a big deal out of it. Hence why my Bucc has 20 base Dex.

It just annoys me when people do make a big deal out of it. The other day I was training my bandit, who has high dex, and I think a brawler called me a noob because my damage is a little low.

I decided to go high dex because I've always been poor in Maple, and probably will continue to be poor. I don't have the money for awesome gear needed to be low stat.
