Melee Classes and Min Dex Required?

Hello everyone,

What is the minimum dex required to hit monsters?

I have been building my stats as 3 str 1 vit for the most part. Around level 40 I found that my character had a very hard time hitting mobs with no dex. Then I started using sedorian with dex bonuses. When I am buffed, I have about 300 dex. That's great because I no longer miss the monsters, but then I have sacrificed having str bonuses on my gear. Buffed, my main attribute str, is only 400, about 100 points higher than dex. So I feel that I have lost a big part of my damage. I know there is gear that is +str and +dex, but it is very rare or too expensive for me.

As well, I was told that dex is pointless to have late game. Is that true?


Thanks in advance!

Dex 4x your current level is most common formula. 300 dex for lvl 40 is a bit overkill at your level, feel free get some str/vit equipment.
