Dex gives accuracy (and high accuracy gives bonuses now), and crit reduction already makes it the best defensive stat.
Str gives physical power and phys save, for what it's worth.
I don't see how that's useless.

Whether or not the talent itself is a good use of points is a different debate.
Sure, and I can buy that having Str+Dex for free is better than not having them, but I'm curious how one would build with a Str/Dex focus rather than maxing out Wil+Cun and just letting whatever Str+Dex bonuses you get carry you.

In other words, I can't figure out how to justify building either Str or Dex instead of Wil+Cun with a secondary priority on Con.

If you've got a specific build in mind, would you mind laying it out in broad strokes?

I'm getting mildly annoyed by repeating suggestions over and over and every time them coming as a surprise to I've made a separate thread. Where we have plenty of time to balance mindslayer till 1.2.1: http://forums.te4.org/viewtopic.php?f=3 ... 33#p180233

It's difficult to justify.

In any case, building Dex is going to be better than building Con.

Well Con is pretty average by itself, unless you are a Yeek.
Sure you would definitely build wil/cun, but that still leaves you with a third stat.
My feedback meter decays into coding. Give me feedback and I make mods.
