More STR the VIT?

[Chrisman182]

im a hume pld/war at level 30/15, and i have 36 str and 35 vit........i dont understand.....pld is supposed to be a defensive job and like, the weakest physical melee job, but i have more STR then VIT, why is this?

P.S im talking about pre bonus, i have like +12 VIT

Yeah as an elvaan, I usually have 3-5 more str then vit. I've partied drks of other races and actually had a higher base STR then them

Although theres an elvaan drk in my LS at my lvl. He has like 6-10 mroe str and 6-10 less vit then me at any given lvl. So I guess the best response is, our str/vit difference is the closest of the melee classes.

The STR growth rate for PLD's is actually pretty decent. On a chart from 1-5 (5 being the best), our STR growth rate is a 4, and our VIT is a 5 (this is compared to other jobs).

Lv.75
STR 72
VIT 70

Yeah this makes no sense at all. I have more STR than a 75 SAM/WAR, yet my damage is complete ass.

At lvl75
STR 77 =.=;
VIT 73

Strange but true.

its because of /war having high str mods and crap vit mods. if you go /nin your str goes down two, vit up two.

Yup. Both Warrior and PLD have high str mods, which is why you're having more str then VIT.

Not sure why someone mentioned why their damage was so crappy because of their high Str =Þ Str is only part of the thing for the damage you do, attack is the other part. While you might have 300 attack at level 70, a real level 70 "fighter" class probably has over 1k. That's the big differance.

Considering attack caps at 999 and only boosting monks get to that...

Pld dmg isnt so weak, its just a pld focuses on tanking gear where as those damage dealers focus on umm gear that lets them deal damage? If a pld where to switch into full attacker gear, you would see a big improvement on the dmg output.

MNKs have more VIT than STR...guess it tells you something about visible stats vs. practical ones...

and the fact that the big dmg dealers will use weapons with probably twice the base damage of a paladin's sword ( hell, a TM Espadon+2 has less damage than a cruel scythe, and the cruel scythe can be used 32 levels earlier )
