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?

which buffs have you been trying to steal? Best buff to take if you are STR are:
1. Sharpen Melee (Scout, gives you 75% damage boost on anything hit in a 5 meter range)
2. Xbow mastery (Ranger, 70% attackspeed)
3. Human both str buffs (Guard: 60% +50%)

Thanks for this. I missed the Scout Sharp Melee and Ranger Xbow buffs. What I was trying to steal was Dhan + %crit chance, and Dhan STR Buff.

Stay as str for now and attend the power arena until the end of the season for those exp pouches so you can hit 115 + xyz

I don't know how good a self-buff savage is in endgame content you can probably stay str. Honestly the INT thing is mainly run by people who only pvp with their characters and some specialty pve like boss hunting because of the reasons you specified. Is a savage self buff capable of doing mirror dungeons and more? probably not but maybe a good party support with the heal totem or something.

fairly accurate, the 60% attackspeed totem lasts 300 sec and cooldown 60 sec so you can have it up permanently, it's a very decent party support. if you top notch gear it, it can solo mirror dungeons, however in abyss maps it's not useful.

Should d lvl of d caster and target be close to steal the buffs? I have been trying to steal from low lvl characters, and it doesn't seem to work

There is lvl based resistance so you should be close in lvls to successfully snatch buffs.
