I've been focusing on hStr after hDex to get higher min hits. Does anyone like hAgi better (for increased strike through) than hStr? Also, does anyone have data on how much an increase of 1 point of strike through boosts accuracy?
Don't raid mobs ignore strikethrough or something? Sorry I have been gone many years (like 12) so may have missed some things, but if raiding isn't strikethrough capped and/or ignored by raid bosses?
I'm passingly curious about this "after hDex" thing. Is this a TLP or something where you can't gain hDex somewhere?
we are monks, not berserkers/warriors/rangers....Every slot should be HDex because we are NOWHERE near crit cap.
You can lower your hDex a bit and not lose any points in accuracy or combat effects. Therefore you can improve your min damage by increasing hStr.
Dex/Hdex effects your crit rate. You will want to focus on hdex until monks are capable of reaching 100% crit rate. Hstr adds 1 flat damage per 10 hstr, it’s pretty much worthless.
The point of HDex is not accuracy or combat effects. The point of HDex is critical hits. One additional critical hit will add more damage than any achievable amount of HStr would add. That said, HStr is not just increasing minimum damage. It increases damage bonus (the one that gets applied after everything else, there is more than one kind of damage bonus), which means it adds to every hit, not just those that would be for the minimum. There is a minimum damage increase (I believe on the Ferocity worn focus line?) that does just that : the absolute minimum hit you can do is increased by that amount, and any hits under that newly calculated amount are brought to that hit. Saying that HStr increases minimum damage implies it increases your damage similarly. Calling it a damage bonus, which it is, means it affects all hits, not just the ones at the very low end of the spectrum. Also, HStr increases Attack, which pulls hits out of that minimum damage area anyway.
But if you have an aug for example that has +12 Hdex and have two comparable augs with the same Hdex, I usually go for the one with more Hsta personally to help me stay alive. A dead monk does 0 dps.
