Strike Bagnakhs for THF/MNK?

[crawfish]

Hey guys i've been browsing the forums trying to decide what weapon to use up till 33 when i'll with to dagger. I already have a bee stinger dagger that i use for leveling skill and i have the royal archers sword for leveling sword. I was going to use HTH the most though, but i'm not sure what HTH weapon to go with. I was thinking Strikes for the dex to add damage to SA. Any other ideas?

Also how long should i keep bee stinger? Is keeping it for awhile worth the dex/agi? Thanks for the info!

Err Sorry typo.. *switch to dagger.

The fact that they have 2 dex is nice, but you'll likely be doing less damage overall because of their low base damage

Their base damage is ONE point lower than the highest you can get until L33. The extra dex is so worth it I think.

Obviously most of your damage doesn't even come from your weapons when you use hand to hand.

For THF with H2H, ACC+ for Weapon only, seriously.

Since H2H mostly has Acc+3, there's no need for +2 DEX if it takes you 3 more swings for 100tp+

I'm not sure if I understood your post, but are you saying the dex is less useful than an accuracy bonus on some other H2H weapon?

How can you be L70+ and NOT know that dex and agi are what make thief sneak and trick attacks stronger? And sneak+trick is all thief is about. Your regular hits suck no matter what you do.

i think he was trying to say if your using h2h as a thief, you should get the weapons with +accuracy since thiefs have such a low skill rating with h2h, i think thats what he was trying to say ^^

If you boost your dex enough you won't have trouble with accuracy. At least I didnt when I used strikes.

Well,
2 DEX = 1 Acc
3 Acc = 3 Acc

nya.

I have all the DEX & Acc equipment for my lvl that you can get, but with H2H you just miss a lot

[John Doe III]

Acc and Atk+ is really the main thing to focus on when using H2H lower levels. I mean you really dont want to miss and then do 0 damage if you hit the monster =P :angel: Then possibly switch to DEX gear when ready for sneak.

i was going thf/mnk for a while and u wanna know something........H2H sux with thf!!!!!!!! the enemy gets 2 attacks before u get on 2 hit........... when with a dagger or beestinger ur goin

(1) is you (2) is enemy

1..2..12..1..1..2...1..2..12..1..1...2 <dagger>

11...2...2...112...2...211...2...2.11 <H2H>

Don't even bother with the strike baghnaks even if you go THF/MNK. Use a sword up to 19 and then get a small sword. THF cap is better with sword and you get DEX+2. Just by two amythest rings DEX+1 each I think and then a fang or spike necklace. The better one if you can afford it.

[pierrot]

Till Viper Bite H2H+Sneak Attack is extremely powerful.

However, I'd advise NOT to use them if you can't afford all the +DEX & +ACC gear you can wear at any level.


I think this is the best way to say it ^^
