#1513, "High-dex vs. High-str Warriors in a Post-Legacy Carrionfields"


          

This is not meant to be a statement of fact, but merely provocation for discussion and opinion on the matter.

To begin with I will establish that High Dex warriors are warriors with a dex 22 or above, who specialize in the weapons suited best to them.

High strength warriors are strength 22 and above warriors, who specialize in the weapons suited best for them. Duergars will be considered high strength for this discussion's purposes.

High strength weapons include: Axe, Mace and Polearm
High dex weapons include: Dagger, Whip and Staff.

Sword and HTH classifications are determined by the race that uses them.

On a whole (felar excluded) high dex races tend to be high int races, while high str races tend to be high con races.

There are 36(yes?) legacies to chose from:

I will list the legacies that in my observations are chosen predominately by one group. These legacies either benefit one group significantly more than the other, or are perceived to by the playerbase.

High-Str/Con:
Chilling Embrace
Crashing of Waves
Fires of Adversity
Greeting the Avalanch
Trapping Beneath Thunder
Soul of the Mountain
Balance of the Sisters

High Dex/Int:
Flow of Shadows
Fluid Deceptions
Whirlwind of Steel
Harmonius Equilibrium
Autumn Harvest

With the rest being(in my limited judgement) more or less equally beneficial to either group.

Soul of the Mountain and Balance of the Sisters are both useful to some high dex/int warriors, but the legacies have not been shown (from my view) to be picked by those sorts of warriors as often as they are by the more "brute force" type warriors.

I hope this information can fuel a discussion on which has come out ahead, the "finesse warrior" or the "brute force warrior."
