Newbie Question for Snatch

[rohanPianist]

The thing is that str is literally useless because:

1: Str is inflated melee which is greatly reduced by pdef
2: While you can steal all the str buffs in the game you can't reliably steal the damage steroids that make guards work.

You need reliable damage (which you get from blunt mastery) and all the crit boosters you can get in the game from all the classes.

Thanks, I understand (I just read your comments on a thread about Pure Melee). It's just that if I go INT now, and when I leave while in HK, then stolen buffs expires, the damage vs mobs would be lower as compared to if im on STR. Im just lvl 107, so I have to rely on Str to lvl up. Kindly help me on this concern, my Pillage is lvl 6 now (90% chance), but so far, I HAVE NOT been able to steal ANY skill. I made 4 Level 30 characters, and have been trying to steal from them from time to time. But NO skill was stolen. Should d lvl of d caster and target be close to steal the buffs?
