Questions about Dual Blade

Some skills come with bundles, such as 3 of them or 4 of them in one package.

None of them are discounted at all though, they just offer more free junk to go with the books.

100% work rate + 1 Extra SP > 50% work rate.

Fixed.

So my Dual Blade will have the world's worst equips like my aran. I'll probably end up using 100%'d equips or clean ones.

1) Should I go DEXless? Are DEXless even plausible for DB's? I don't want to have like 120 base DEX, lol. If possible, I want to go DEXless til I can upgrade equips.

2) Are Adventurer's Ring very beneficial to DB's? I heard Thorns work funky, so does Crit/Cruel ring help a lot? If not, I'll just use Lillin's Ring.

3) Is it likely that you NEED NX for the skills? Like will there be an alternate method of obtaining the skills sold in CS? (Basically, can you obtain Evans' skills like Magic Guard outside of CS now?)

1) No, Why?: KMSTlol
2) Adventurer's ring is #1 Lillins ring is a Close 2nd
3) yes it helps cause free stuff and its overpowerd.

How beneficial would it be to buy all the packages haha, or would you just be losing NX by doing so?

If I had to purchase only one of the packages which would be the best/most useful?
