An argument for DEX as best stat.

[starkind]

Ranged throw/archery dmg is leet AF.

My gnome mage is hitting like a mac truck with 110 dex.

Honestly you probably should bump dex up to max on wizard and warrior too. Warriors get good bow. And wizards can chuck daggers between casts/med ticks.

bow damage is based off strength on p99 unless they changed it recently

[Cen]

Considering bow damage is indeed based on strength and always is and will be in project 1999, it is not technically a good argument to claim that dex is a good stat. However, there are numerous good arguments for having more dexterity, though I do not have wont to convince you of this.

Warriors should indeed place all of their points into Dex, in order to maximize procs off of their weapons.
Or so Eye would posit.

The difference in proc chance has proven to be extremely minimal. Not worth it whatsoever

Even if the benefit is minimal, it is still helpful. For example, when soloing, if you are looking to increase your DPS and/or proc chances, a small bonus is better than nothing. This is especially true when you do not need to increase other stats further, such as max HP, AC, Resistances, etc.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WmDvk3udrhI In the video I do not need more HP, AC, or Resistances for this camp. The only way I can increase my efficiency is more DEX, STR, ATK, Haste, HP/Mana Regen, Clickies, or Proc Weapons.

But again I agree about starting stats. DEX really isn't worth putting any points in to for a new character, unless MAYBE you are trying to build a solo only warrior for the challenge. You may still regret it later if you decide to switch your warrior over to grouping/raiding.

Already have! Made a gimmick warrior with dex focus from low level, got to the 40s... felt like he procs a lot (never ran the numbers) so was interested by your claim as it contradicted my experience. Perhaps any benefit I perceived was imagined.
