Dex question for dits

MoN = 10 attack, HTP = 17*3 = 51 stats. MoN helps more unless you're appled.

I use STR tops on my Bandit. You can't scroll them for attack, and the only other alternative is LUK. STR tops add the same stats as LUK tops.

Your standards are way too high. You don't even need a base+10 attack shield to be "decent." For most people, outdamaging their peers in CPQ is decent. Not everyone wants to go down that path of making a Bishop and sell leech for several hundred hours before leeching a main to boss and decking it out in insane gear. That's a really narrow vision of how to play the game.

I agree to all of what you said, except that a HTP is 22*3 = 66. Makes no real difference though, because at higher levels a 10 att, 5 STR, 5 DEX ,5 LUK MoN still would be better or at least equal, apple or not.
