Hey guys. It's been awhile since I've went on the forums and I just found out that the forum event levels are 50-55. I started my build earlier today and came to a halt when deciding what stats to level. Here is my question: should I level my dex up to 30 for the scaling (A scaling with a falchion) and end up sacrificing another stat like endurance or vitality? Or should I take it down the elemental path with lightning or chaos?

Elementals are generally looked down upon for their high power for low investment, but they are pretty much optimal.

All right, thank you. I guess I'll just take a scimitar down the lightning path and a falchion up to +15 and just see which one i prefer

Just remember that Chaos with 10 humanity is better than lightning.

I'd agree, but there are certain cases where I switch to Lightning.
IMO; It's better if you just carry both around.

Depends. At 55, str builds can work (as you only need 27 str) but yeah, you're probably better off using elemental, especially with dex weapons.

For my SL 55, I can do it with 40 dex (with a low weight weapons like tracers, rapiers, and shotels). But, those are ideal for PvP anyway and deal more damage than elementals.

Yea, I've always been somebody who likes to have a lot of health and/or stamina rather than a few extra damage points. I feel like going all the way to 40 in dex is a bit much when there are elemental options that would allow me to last longer than whoever I'm dueling. To each his own I guess

With elementals you'll get a lot more hp, end, and in turn, poise and defenses.
The events are usually for fun it seems, but the forum has some excellent players.
If you are a fair to midland pvper, I'd go elemental for the aforementioned reasons, but if you're "sorta pro", you might consider something else depending on how competitive you want to be.

I guess you just figured it out, oh well, posting for count

Oh, I totally forgot to answer this.
Unless you have 24+ in a stat, I'd say go elemental.

My main invades build is a sl50 Obsidian Greatsword user, It's a really great wep for mid level. 480 all physical attack for 20str and 16dex is really nice.
This is it right here http://mmdks.com/2ell I can usually keep up with sl120s pretty well although I don't usually do duels with it however I may try in the future it is a very solid build imo.
