I saw the Q&A thread where it says what the stats do. So does that mean you get no damage bonus from Dex then? Just a bonus to hit? Thats kinda lame. I guess it means Str is useless for ranged too then?

quote:

Gunner

[2] Stat Damage Bonus (Per 100% Stat Bonus)
Ranged:: STR/10 + DEX/40 + LUK/20

[3] Stat Bonuses to Hit
Ranged:: [DEX/16 + DEX/16 + LUK/20]

[4] Blocking Ability
Blocking Bonus from Stats:: [DEX/10 + LUK/20]

Note
1) DEX: Increases BTH and small damage, dodge ability
2) LUK: Increases small BTH and small damage, Lucky Strikes, First Strike etc.

quote:

Strength(STR) - Increases Melee damage and bonus to hit with Melee Weapons
Dexterity(DEX) - Increases bonus to hit percent for all attacks and dodging ability.

Another note about Gunners, Nightly, that you might be interested in... I'm talking to Aelthai, and we've worked out that DEX/LUK/END would be a "pure gunner," and is a very very workable build. You'll set yourself up in Defensive armors, and while you might be a little weak on the attack compared to other builds, you'll make up for that in survivability.

DEX/LUK/CHA would be a beastgunner (botgunner? xenogunner (xenomorph/alien)?), and while you'll do slightly more damage than a striker per turn, you'll be paying each turn for the guest.

DEX/LUK/INT would be an engineer, and you'll pay Energy to use the techs to deal big damage.

At low levels, the amount that Stats are worth is very, very small compared to the amount Base/Random is worth - and Guns are supposed to, overall, always be a little behind Sticks if you train STR.

Also, most armors have a Weapon Throw or the like, which gets Melee-type BRS but requires you to use different Stats.

As it happens, Gun and Melee BRS is equal at Level 18, and Guns pass Melee BR at Level 19.

No problem :)

Now, I can't wait for the next release. Next release = Level cap raise = More equipment? and more content. :D
