Raising DEX by how much?

I'm going to be dropping my strength soon, so I'l have more stat points. Int or dex?

Also, as mages go, I'm an idiot. I'm still dealing light damage with illuminate ultra. I need a new spell list.

[Xenos Infinity]

I think I raised it by about 15... I'm buying all the Gi right now, since I hit 10 last night and I want to test the skills.

edit: I have all the Gi with the exception of White, which is pretty much useless now, and I'm testing them by fighting in every class Special Mission with no pets, guests or potions to see how well I do.
Fighter was a little too easy.

Snake Skin and that first-goer are the only ones that can be useful IMO, thought for different reasons,

[Xenos Infinity]

Sneak Skin isn't much good solo, but with Counter and Gyrate shield on I'm getting an extra hit in nearly every turn.
Ah, if only I had Sackelberry Special...

[xelemental]

Meant the armor, lol

So it only works when it blocks(counterattack?)

[Xenos Infinity]

Yeah, but with 55/45/55 blocking and 80 DEX (110 with Wood Sign, the only one I thought I'd never use >_>) not a lot of things DON'T get blocked.

edit: the Mountain Cudgel Gi has just won me a fight against Commander Kragg in Paxia Under Siege in 4 or 5 hits.
Revenge for the Azru Stone wars: I has it.

Bar of Soap: +20 adjusted
Rose Blossom: +20 adjusted
given dex, Bee Bee Gun: +10 adjusted
There's probably something else I'm forgetting.
If you add 200 DEX, it becomes 125/125/135, with those stats you gave.
Meh. Carnax still hits you 76% of time. You need to nerf it's stats, dammit.

[Xenos Infinity]

Bar of Soad: do not have.
Rose Blossom: do not have.
Bee Bee Gun: don't have and it's ranged wind with 100% special >_> I'll stick to my Slithering Longbow, thanks.

Does the armor have then that good attack stats?

[Xenos Infinity]

which one?
here's my summary of the armors from my experience:

Mountain Cudgel: AWESOME attack power once Power Boost is switched on. Lost accuracy is negligable if you have reasonable DEX and Way of the Klonk is like half a potion followed by the first two hits of Undead Mutant. In other words, SWEET. 9/10. The -1 was for the fact that the healing from WotK is fixed at 70.

Serpent Fang: Who needs offense? The attack power is average with Counter and Sneakskin off, but with them ON you're looking at an extra hit every turn, dealing back about the same amount you would have recieved ON ONE HIT ONLY. it doesn't take the damage of several blocked hits. Add level 4 Poison (use Poison Fang a lot and hope it doesn't resist, Fist of Legend advised for SP recovery) and you've got an extra 140+ DPT by the KoO's reckoning. 9.5/10. Yes, 9.5. the Ranged blocking of the Sneaks it's based on may be low, but that's no excuse for me to need the Wood Sign so often.

Ancient Spirit: Mages, sell Megashock immediately. Beastmages, doubly so. Chi Shockwave is a LEVEL 6 CLASS SKILL but deals 100+ damage per turn with MY stats and 100% energy on the opponent. Its cost is combined SP and MP, but when you're regening most of the SP with Fist of Legend every turn, it's mostly MP - and not much of that. This armor goes up to 11. That's higher than 10.

Swift Talon: ...Frankly, I'm stunned people can complain. Having found out that it changes the Fist of Legend to an unexpected Fire Melee weapon, I went to the Northlands to test it.
OH EMM EFF GEE.
Sure, Hundred-Claw Strike is a little weak, but with all EIGHT hits it's still 100+. Rapid Strike is GREAT for its SP cost, Lightning Kicks is a Kung-Fu Fighting spoof (first line: Everybody was kung-fu fighting, those kicks were fast as lightning) and it has a 2-hit attack, unlike all the other Gi.
Oh, and its toggleable ability gives you a damage boost in exchange for worse resistances - and gives you an extra 20 LUK every time you start a fight so you're more likely to move first.
On a scale of 1-10, 1 being the worst, the Swift Talon Gi hits 13 - because more luck for you DEFINITELY makes this your enemies' unlucky number.

[xelemental]

Well, why have less if you can have more.....

[Drago Goldenwing]

I can complain because Reign Plate + Ironthorn beats everything. >_>

[Faye]

^Lest you have Asgard and is 120+

[Drago Goldenwing]

I meant everything Martial Artist can do.

[xelemental]

I can complain 'cuz I has Z-token spells+mage robes and Berserker Hides+Orbs+IT+100% ranged weapons.

EDIT: Oh wait....
