Visitor part 4 spoilers

Because the best classes to go statless on (thieves, magicians) have moderately high secondary stat requirements to equip their 71+ armor, and it would be stupid to not potential at least 71+ equipment, a waste of money. Going statless is just innefficient post potential and post maker nowadays, except for warriors who I believe can go dexless just fine.

Edit: Also I never said lowstat was outdated, I mean statLESS. There is a difference, do not confuse the two.

He's drawing a line between having 25 base dex on a Thief and using high level gear and having 30 base dex on a Thief and using high level gear, even though they are the exact same build. Having +35% luk instead of +34% luk would make a bigger difference.

FluffyFoxxie is referring to statless as in not investing in your secondary stat at all, as in using SCGs, Facestompers, LUK saunas, and the like. Even if you're using say, a VIP claw, it still makes sense to use class gloves/shoes/overalls at higher player levels and higher levels of funding.

I still think the notion that there are different stat builds has been outdated for many classes for a while and became outdated for all classes when potential came out (or at least will be when Big Bang removes accuracy concerns for Warriors). Ideally, everyone should leave their secondary stat some amount lower than what they need for their gear. Warriors do not have a secondary stat for gear purposes, so they should always be "dexless".
