here i go

How does DEX affect in a SB? Is it important cap DEX for a SB? Why?

evade rating is afected by QUI, but no DEX?

So QUI cap (with Buff etc) would be 250, right? and same in DEX?

and SB weapons are Slash (i presume axe/sword are slash, right?), so damage is afected by only STR?

thats all folks

dex and qui affect evade rate iirc, but the gain after 300dex is minimal, and the reason most ppl get qui to 250 just is because thats the max benefit u get from swingspeed, for most SBs u dont have to cap qui completely because they get 250 after 50ish in suit (depending on race)

and all midgard weapons that SB can use are 100%str based

There's different theories regarding dex affecting evade. Some people claim it does, others it doesn't. According to Sanya only Quickness affects evade, but she's been known to be wrong.

Higher Dex resolves in higher WS (for hunters in any case), and higher WS means a lower chance for your enemy to evade.

Quickness beyond 250 is a waste of points. Until 250 you gain a decent amount of swingtime reduction, after 250 it's 1% for ever 20 points or so, not worth it. :)

Ok here's the info I've been able to gather through asking the very same questions:

Dex determines: Your block, parry and your weapon proc rate.
Qui determines: Your evade rate and swing speed (and to some degree your dmg through the fact that you deal less dmg the faster you hit)
Str determines: Your weaponskill (for most mid weapons) and weapon damage.

Since 250qui is hardcap, there's no point going further. I've heard different stories about it, that above 250, the percentage that you hit weaker is much higher than the percentage you hit faster (if that makes sense), so that you'll only lose overall dmg from 250+.

not true, you'll need 75 qui on suit and some points in qui at char creation to hit 250 qui as a norse sb when fully buffed

and to answer the original poster
both axes and swords are 100% str based

both dex and qui affects evade rate, but the bonus beyond 300 in each stats is pratically nonexistant, so you can settle with 30-40 dex on your armour as that'll bring you up to 300 when fully buffed

qui also affects your swing speed, but the bonus to swingspeed caps at 250, so get qui up to that or as close as possible

Dex do NOT affect proc rate. VN boards post is not true if u have red it there. Mythic have allways said weapon procs are not affected in any way by any stat or effect.
