So, my question might be pointless since the answer may be in the question but still.
Pre-renewal, you had an ATK bonus for every 10 STR, making this another parameter in building the char : reaching 110, 120, 130 STR could be some sort of aim for increasing damage.

Since I couldn't find anything about this on Renewal iROWiki, here's my question : is this bonus still working in Renewal?

[EvilLoynis]

big fat nope.

getting higher damage through Strength now sucks big time. Better to invest in higher atk weapon and put your stats into agi/dex/luk

[Scythe]

I see, thank you for the confirmation.
That sucks, because I'm a DD GX, rarely using katars and I'm not really into this LUK stat : while it certainly gives a lot of nice things such as ATK, HIT, Flee, etc..., it also provides Crit which badly slowers my double attack damage output.
I don't want to spend my time critting with my daggers, it's a waste of time and damage.

[EvilLoynis]

I agree. I wish they would fix crit so it worked with Double Attack.

[DrAzzy]

No it doesn't.

Double attack is checked for first, and only if double attack doesnt proc is there a chance to crit (ie, with lvl 10 DA (50%) and 50 crit, you'd do double attack 50% of the time, crit 25% of the time, and do a normal non crit 25% of the time).

[NeoNilox]

...in other words, Double Attacks take priority.

Since you're using daggers instead Katar you'll gain less Crit throught LUK (30 LUK is just 11 total Critical, Stat Window, without other bonuses).

Oh waw, that is REALLY interesting. Did they change it recently? Cause I could swear it was different long ago, like 4 or 5 years...
Obviously, it changes everything. Thanks for the info!

Indeed this is as interseting as it is new to me! Does it work the same way with gunslinger's dual action (or was it double action)?

And in case you missed this, crit damage is 1.4x dmg. Unlike before, crit with icepick will deal more damage.

Yes, skills are checked first.
