+ skill vs + attributes

[FunkSlaveTrade]

I primarily use a bow and was wondering about the gear i need to plan out for best result, mainly the amount of damage i can expect. I was looking on stratics and was unable to find anything that compared these two. For instance, should i select a head piece that does +7 to archery, or would +7 to dex or str be more effective for damage properties. i have no problem reading up on any info or link anyone could provide so they dont have to go through the entire explanation. any help would be appreciated.

already did, that wasn't the info i was lookin for but appreciate the help. actually being able to find what "lets say +1.0 skill point" does for your char is more along the lines of what im looking for. basically im looking to see the amount of damage, or whatever boosts i would get from going over 130 in archery, compared to going dex/str/int instead for gear. i hope im explaining myself properly here.

The answer is easy, because +gear doesn't bring you over cap. Only gear that says "Bonus" on it bring you over cap. To my knowledge there is no archery bonus gear.

What you want is to have your suit have at least 100 DI (which is cap) and as much SDI as you can get SDI has no cap. This will make your Hit Lightning, Hit Fireball Etr hit a lot harder. Also the more STR you have the harder you hit.

For speed of hitting, Stamina along with SSI effects your swing speed. Dex effects how fast you can apply bandies and determines your Stamina.

Good Luck bro
