So when people say haste doesn't matter for an SK, they aren't thinking about the extra white dmg aggro they can generate with the extra swings. This will help save some mana when actively fighting after you need to aggro wash a lot of mobs but can't use DC because of mez breaks. Haste also helps out a lot when fear kiting.

Haste matter, but I will happily take the 34% item over the 36%one if the stats are better...

I've parsed regular and then with only dex buffs. Gamparse says I miss less. Not sure what else to make of it.

It's plausible there is a non classic mechanic here, it is only an emulator after all.

I suppose you may have switched between weapons with different skills, gained some skill ups, or fought mobs with different avoidance values to produce this effect.

I actually have a suspicion that attack buffs here improve your accuracy (even though they obviously shouldn't). Never tested it cos I reckon I am just crazy.

My miss rate is still higher with max STR and lower dex than it is with max STR and DEX.
I could be off but it seems to me that on my SK DEX does the same thing for white dmg that it does for crits. Maybe the higher dex raises atk also and i didn't notice?

I remember a post where Haynar basically laughed off the idea of dex being anything more than negligible. Shields are useful when pulling and tanking casters. 2hers are good for anyone new to fear-kiting. Do whatever you prefer though because this game will consume so much of your real life, might as well do what you enjoy the most.

Large races can slam, not all races.

I guess it is a mix of extra slot for hp/resist stack and faster 1 hander for push?
