Post Big Bang Bandits (Dexless/Regular)

Alright so I'm basically just asking it plainly, should I convert to a Regular DEX build? I'm currently DEXless and I wanted to know how much I would be effected if I made the transition? I think if I sell all of my DEX equips, I'll pump it all into greater attack weapons/shields/capes etc. Does this sound like a smart plan? And I know that once I am able to achieve the coveted Chaos Horntail Necklace/Zakum Helmet, I will have practically DEX +90 from that alone. Once I reach that point, I'll just wait for the free AP Reset events and slowly take down my DEX to as minimum as possible, but does these seem logical? Only asking this question because I've heard many speculations as to if being DEXless is useful anymore.

EDIT: Forgot to add poll, just state at the end of your post Stay or Swap.

[quote=XDezzaxX]lolz dexless was never "introduced" it just happened when people were trying to make their characters stronger and dexless happened like not long after maple started.
with ur dex just keep it as low as ur funding can handle, get all the dex equips u can and just use auto assign, my bae dex is like 105 and im doing fine.[/quote]

Ooh okay. Well I just remember one day a lot of sins were wearing the bathrobes up to level 70's and I asked them why.

But aside from that, might I ask if I plan to wear a khanjar (regular, not dragon) how would I get the str? Right now I only have 40 str (4 + 36). Only notable equips are z-helm, mushroom kingdom medal, spiegelmann necklace, and my cape +2 str.

I have 50 base dex and 33 base str. Total, I can wear the reverse weapon and d.khanjar at 120.

I think you should convert to lowdex, not reg.

If you can fund yourself. 70-80 dex base should be fine.
You'll need str for some bandit gear in the higher level gear, and dex. However, if you can fund yourself with % dex equips, you should be fine.

i got 60base str, and 105 base dex
I'm a str cb. Compared to other Luk cb's that are reg, I do a bit more dmg.

If i were you do the transition, but just stay in the low dex area

@illkill301: Just wait till the Free AP Reset scroll event. You get like 40 for a Lv 120+, 35 for Lv 70+ and I think 20 for 30+

^We have the exact same stats....
OT: Now, a str-less dit with decent equips can use a Dragon Khanjar, so why not?

@mtj1600: What the heck was that for? I didn't do anything to offend you in anyway so why be so rude?
@xReborn: I was thinking about it, and from some calculations would it be smart to slowly convert once I get my Chaos HTP/Zhelm? I'm mainly thinking about the new 130/140 equips coming out, as they require 170 DEX.

I actually put my dex to 80 on accident. Will I still be fine? I'm not SUPER funded and my first bandit was made before dexless was ever introduced.
