I Don't Believe in Focus

[kydenn]

Tell me your thoughts on this:

3 STR, 2 DEF
1 Fencer (+1 DEF, +1 FOC, -1 STR, -1 INT)
1 Brute (+1 STR, +1 DEF, -1 FOC, -1 INT)

Upon Level-Up (Including Level Bonuses)
+4 STR, +5 DEF, +1 FOC, -1 INT

Basically, you'll be doing a nice and steady deal of damage with very high survivability. Your dodge won't always be maxed, but it's close. At least, theoretically. I've tried this to around 40 with no starting gear and was killing 8-12+ my level. Of course, as I haven't been playing much since the stats were all redone, I don't really have a clue if that is good or not. So, thoughts?

You can compete with a no FOC build, however you need some foc modded gear eventually. I was at a point where I couldn't kill mobs even though I had 75% dodge. I am a 3def 2str build right now, I have yet to add a point of FOC on level up, though I do use FOC modded gear.

Being lvl 728 and still forever will be 3 str 2 def, and i survive easily, however like fing mentioned the downside is heavily modded foc gear, total stats being: Str:7835, Def:6462, Foc:4110, now given even at these lvls o realize my foc is still low but i easily lvl without hardly missing at all, i did stupidly but 86 in brute, but i have 728 contact( i max it with my lvl every other lvl) and i raise my quickfeet to whatever.
