Stat points

[SEebiass]

I would like to know how much i should get strenght and dexterity to when im going for a skele summoner necro build.
I want to have max block on the shields (i will only use those head shields thats for necro only).
So, enough dexterity to max block and enough strenght to be able to use items..
The problem is that i really dont have a clue on how much i should get.
Anyone that could enlighten me? Thanks :worship:

Both stats depend on what equipment you are going to wear. If you could list us your equipment we'll be happy to help ya :p

I have no idea what im going to wear..
I take what i get :) I just thought that some of you knew anyways what i should get in points without knowing items.

well the str is usually about 100 when going untwinked, but the dex is completely item dependant if you want max block. Different block rates = different amount of dex required

The formula that determines your chance to block is:

Blocking % = (Shield Block% × [Dex – 15]) ÷ (CLevel × 2 )

In which: Blocking % = The chance to actually block an attack
Shield Block % = The chance to block displayed on a shield
Dex = Dexterity of your character
Clevel = The Level of your character

Well, the block at the head shield go from 23% to 32%.
The only head shield that has higher block is Homunculus.
So, at the dexterity i would like to have so much dex that i can get max block at say, with a head shield with 30% block.
And when you say around 100 strenght, would it be good if i just skill that up to 120 just to be sure?

if you want, if you don't have/find a good block rate shield i'd just say pump vitality instead of dex and do without blocking and more life, as you aren't going to be hand-to-hand anywho.

for a shield with 30% block rate you'd need 510 points of dexterity to achieve max block at lvl 99

:cheesy:

Homoncolus is hands down the best shield for a blocking necro (if not for all necros), but don't forget that you can find magic/rare necro heads with mods that give +blocking.
