I give up, which one determines how often you hit? When I created my pally I wanted to concentrate on Dex. so he can hit monsters. <---or so I thought. My dex. is currently 140 and I notice I still miss a lot. I have grped with warriors and other pallies and I usually ask them what their dex. is so I can compare how often we hit. Well I was grped with a War and he had 85dex and he hit WAY more than I did!! I asked what he thought about this and he said str. determined how often you hit and dex determined how close the your possible dmg. you could do. Anyways....does anyone know for sure?

[STR or Dex]

>>>I give up, which one determines how often you hit?

Neither. Only your level, offense, and weapons skill figures into the chance to hit.

STR determines max damage and average damage. Higher STR will raise your damage cap, and will also increase your likelihood of hitting closer to your max. The exception to this is Archery, where Dex determines this.

Dex determines how often a weapon will fire a random process, and also figures into critical hits for warriors. It also figures into some of the rogue skills.
