Need Clarification Please!

Hello everyone. I need facts from experienced people regarding stats.
I have noticed that there are two types of ranged rings. One type has strength/dex/vit, and the other has agi/dex/vit.

The question is, between agi vs str, how do they each affect scout/ranger in both offense and defense? What are the pros and cons of both when comparing them? And finally, is one better for a scout, and other for ranger? If so, which is meant for which class and why?

I've tried to test between the two, but I could not see any noticeable differences, and was hoping someone could shed some light on the mechanics of those two stats and how they affect the half elf. Thanks in advance!

1)Agi helps you to evade attacks a little bit more, only in case of PVE though.
2)Str helps you with Physical defense a little bit more, and an extra bits of damage for your brandish kick.

Go for str dex vit no use of agi in scout since evade works for monsters only.

What about on rangers? What is better str or agi? Someone said that agi helps me to crit harder and that str helps my norms to be higher. Any validity to this?

Yes, he did say that too. But on the offensive side, he said those would be the differences. Anybody else argue that?

So basically..... since I'm one-shot anyway, it pretty much doesn't matter which one i choose is what I understand.

If it's only with melee, why on earth would they put it there..... I guess only for the pdef increase? And I guess with str buffs, pdef could go up a decent amount, right? Not like it'll matter going from 1 shot to 2 shot :p

But you must agree that, if you choose str/dex/vit you will be able to utilize these rings on more chars, than in case with agi/dex/vit right?
I havent looked on brandish kick with or w/o str buffs + xbow, but i presume you will still hit harder with more str, because it says it will deal dmg according to your melee attack.

Sorry to pop in so late in the thread

As others have noted agi on a ranger/scout is helpful only for pve where it helps keep mobs from hitting you. You do NOT get crit advantages from agi on a ranged damage class. Dhans on the other had get good crit boosts from agi since they are a melee rather than ranged damage class and have buffs that increase damage based on agi.

For rangers and scouts the str and dex stats are better for you. As others have said str gives you that pdef and some more regular damage ikn the few melee based skills, the dex for a ranger/scout is important for its gives accuracy. That translates into more and higher damage ranged attack crits. There are also some skills that use dex for increased damage.

No problem! Thanks for being so thorough. And yes, while others said what you have said, I've been trying to get multiple people's opinions just to see if there were any inconsistencies among different people. By no means was I discounting the words of previous posters. Thanks for the input from all you guys.

owait that's P0rndog the pru ranger D:
