Str/dex question

[Zaitenko]

If a weapon is STR/DEX to determin damage and weaponskill will it be any diffrence if you have for example:
145 Str 65 dex = 210 str/dex

or:

105 Str 105 Dex = 210 str/dex.

Will the damage be more in case number two? <smiles>
Basicly, does haveing Str and Dex balanced result in a larger Weapskill or is the amount they are together the only thing that counts?

Cheers

Same with both.

since Zaitenko already started with the almighty x-bow question, heres a bow one

Is bow 100% dex or split like a thrust weapon 50/50 str/dex?

Going back to your str/dex question.
Yes for each case where str+dex works out the same your weapon skill and therefore damage will be the same. However, bear in mind that greater dex will also increase your blocking/parry/evade rate so your overall damage dealt v's damage taken will be greater.

For your bow question I believe it is 100% dex but not certain about that.

For these type of questions here are a couple of links to great sites I often refer to (though bear in mind they can be a little dated):

good stuff Tunes, 100% dex, thanks

str + dex / 2 = effective thrust stat.

Example: (323str + 409dex) / 2 = 366
As you can see, being a scout my stats are more suited to thrust having 366 effective stat compared to 323str for slash.

Raising str and/or dex will have same effect, raising both will be even better. Some races/classes won't be suited to thrust as they might not gain enough str/dex with levels etc.

Bow is 100% dex
