Xenon

How to properly allocate Xenon Ap

To any of you who are familiar with Diablo 3, I doubt you'd be asking the mechanics behind this, since you've undoubtedly encountered the monk passive 'One with everything'.
The AP system is similar in this game to the aforementioned Resistance system.

Don't stack %all stats as opposed to singular % stat. Not only does it not benefit you in the least, it hinders your chances of finding viable equips, and makes them more expensive.

Study market trends, and invest in the cheapest readily available %stat.

My presumption at the moment is that the cheapest stats for the first while will either be %str equips, because buccaneers are hardly played anyways, and if I recall correctly Xenons are considered pirates ingame, or %int equips, because post luminous, we wont be expecting a new mage class for a relatively long time, long enough for %int stats to deflate.

Feel free to poke and prod at any loose ends you find in my theory.

Thanks for reading.

how about you hit me up with a source for that statement, would ya?

[quote=darksin1204]Im pretty sure the best way to build your ap (if well funded) is luck. With luck, you have a top/bot, increasing the number of total eqs and therefore total %. Although theyre expensive, luck will increase the range the most.
And yes, for sure maxing 1 stat increases range the most. If you had (999 luck) or (333 luck, str, and dex) * 15% all stat, you would gain 383 extra stat. However, a single stat's % can be up to 12% while all stat is 9%. So, its obvious that maxing a single stat is the best source of dmg.
And well, if you're SUPER funded, you can go str/dex instead. Since once nexon releases chaos root abyss eqs, there will be a top/bot for all classes.
And finally, the only way all stat would help if you have insane amounts of +stat from eqs. (cough tyrant eqs)[/quote]

uhh, no. luck has nothing to do with wearing a top and bottom.
luck does NOT increase the range the most.
and while maxing 1 stat might increase range the most, you'd ALSO be missing on stance, and [b]sixty percent total damage[/b]
again, no, %all stat is the best way to go, period.

[quote=iHipster]compare price of 15% all stat and the sum of 15% luk earring, 15% str earring and 15% dex earring

fixed.

@ihipster
You completely missed the point of my post.
I'm just talking stat numbers not price

Either way if I consider the price that would put xenon at a disadvantage theoretically because it costs way more to get the same kind of stat numbers as any other class

Looks at how ligmoons xeon uses all stat equips. It wouldn't even be cheaper to not use all stats since even if you used all 9 percent all stats equips, that transfers over to 27 percent of a single stat. Last time I checked, 27 percent equips are not cheap ;x.

^^yep pretty much %all stat only benefit xenon is the fact that it affect the stats on equipment and giving boost to range in that sense
so yea tyrant stuff and %all stats is a xenon bf

when dealing with AP it doesn't matter it all added up to the same
so best way is evenly distribute to get that Multilateral skill( which was say to only work with AP stats)

[quote=daringwaffle]it seems like if each of the 3 stats only has a 330 base, wouldnt it take triple the %stat to do the same amount as 1/3%stats would on a regular char

ex. 10% all stat would add 99 cuz .1*333*3
but 10% luk for a thief would add 99 also
10% luk on a xenon would only add 33

so really using %all stat(theoretically) wouldnt put xenon at an advantage, but really on par with every other char?[/quote]

compare price of 15% all stat and 15% luk earring.

I think % luk pirate equips or % str thief equips should be the best to go with. Those will probably be the cheapest.

except xenon doesnt use %int
and %allstat is better
%9all stats on one line is the same as 9% str, 9%dex, and 9%luk on three separate lines
and is you have a base of atleast 330 on str, dex,and luk you get 40%total dmg

AP allocation for Xenon is quite weird if you ask me.
If you put 1 AP into a stat (for example LUK) then you would have to put 39(example) in there to make it 40, then you can move on to the other 2 and put 40 in those. then go back to LUK or if you want to start with the other 2 and so on.
