Spears?

Affinity is a stat that adds flat damage to your "attack" stat. You will only gain attack from affinity until you hit the 3k cap. (Or 3.5k @ Lv. 105)

There is no point to add more main stat because affinity caps. The cost is irrelevant.

From your posts, it looks to me like you want to play a power or spear primary weapon with the other as a secondary weapon.

I would not recommend this.

Hrm. I'm always a jack of all trades nerd when it comes to MMOs. For the most part spear is a coincidental choice - I'm actually picking the Vit for tanky purposes (even if it only affords me a 2-shot scenario instead of 1-shot).

I'll play around with the numbers a bit. Ultimately, I'm not looking to fulfill a straight up damage role, only enough damage to draw aggro, so I'll experiment here and there.

Ahhh I see.

So the main purpose is that you're going for a tanky build?

How tanky do you want to be early on?

Very? Enough to take a hit from Odin and survive at level 29. Hybridization doesn't need to happen immediately, but I tend to play option-heavy builds. I also find the pure damage solo play in this game to be dreadfully boring.

I find blocking still result in too much damage lost, and would rather risk it to attempt a successful dodge if possible or die trying ^^;

Yep, but sometimes those orbs hit you or you get distracted.

I did a VIT/MND build with about a 2:1 distribution from titles and everything. It's worth it if you can trade Invigorate III with another healer, but your damage falls behind enough that the pure STR nerds end up getting all the aggro (which is bad in team play).

So Supremetentacles gets dex next huh...

I was thinking of getting Mnd to have more tankiness and sustain...plus, i could take supporting as my second role with the long staff affinity. Any ideas on this?
