a new confused pirate
Hey guys after playing almost every class besides pirates i made a UA today. I saw the guide and am going to follow it but i was wondering how the AP distribution works. currently im lvl 50 and all my AP points are unused. is there a certain level im supposed to cap dex at or should i just put it all intro str ? also i heard the lvl 50 empress set will last me and apparently the level 70 gift is another set should i keep those or buy equipment ?
sorry for all the questions just wanna make this guy right

[quote=xmahvel]Thanks! I definitely will be able to get NX to reset I suppose, HOWEVER, I have been hearing that in KMS the secondary stats have been removed-So there is a possibility for AP resets in there but I don't know how far away that is.~ I guess this mistake was just my inexperience with Buccaneers.[/quote]
KMS has removed secondary stats, and I assume Nexon will give an AP reset, but it's Nexon. They don't always do what they should. I mean hell, when the Accuracy formula got changed I don't think they gave out any AP resets, which meant Warriors who added Dex just so they could bloody hit things got gimped for no good reason.
At the very least it's not too harmful in the sense that you'd end up with 23 base at 200 anyway, and it's not that high; some people have 50 base Dex or so which REALLY hurts.
Just go to the guide posted by Tricks it has every one of your questions answered.
@mxahvel It's livable, but honestly Dex should never go past 20, unless you're a UA in which case it should never go past 4. It's so easy to get Dex nowadays if you know where to look, so actually adding secondary stat for pretty much any class is redundant, except for Thieves because their formula is a bit higher. But even then, I don't think that formula applies for Empress which means the long-term benefits of going without secondary stat is useful.
It's not required you reset, but if you can I'd personally suggest you do. Especially since post-Revamp you'll be getting 30 Dex in 2nd job, nobody will need Dex even if they don't have any funds.
[quote=rokococo13]You have made a terrible mistake making a UA Pirate. Currently there's a glitch which makes your pirate UA's sharkwave do less than your normal "ctrl" attack. I'm not sure if Nexon is going to fix it, haven't seen it in any of the notes... ._.[/quote]
its actually working perfectly fine for me.
and thank you zach and tricks !
I'd highly recommend keeping your base Dex at 4, it's one of the few permanent perks a UA has over a non-UA. You'll be able to manage 100 Dex easily after the Revamp, which will allow use of a King Cent and 3rd tier potential gear, and pre-Revamp you can probably STILL manage that, assuming you have no funds. If you have funds, you're set for 4 base Dex.
I'd suggest you keep the UA Empress set until you can get a Zakum/Scar helm, or until you start scrolling a Knuckle(Even a junk scroll, like tossing 60%'s on a King Cent), or until you start getting %STR for the pieces of the set(Ex: 3% Overall, Shoes, ect). I believe the set comes with a Glove, which you will most likely end up swapping if you have an Att WG or something. I'm not sure of the exact stats on the UA Empress equipment, but one you can replace one piece of the set with something half decent, the set effect pretty much crumbles and you can upgrade everything. Although they are good placeholders until you can afford or choose to do so.
Although I believe level 70 items fall into 2nd tier potential, which means you won't be able to get 3% single stat rare on one line. So once you can equip and have one or two pieces of 71+ equipment with 3% on them, it'd probably be beneficial to upgrade. You'll be upgrading from it eventually anyway, it's just useful until you do.
