Thank you very much for the information. Sorry that I will annoyce you again. Could you explain the resistance stats (str/dex) pls? It's quite strange for a newbie like me. Thanks.

I'll do one better than that for you. We already have a thread that explains all of that, where the players did most of the work to figure out damage calculations. Once I find it, I'll put the link in this post.

*Calculations are only based on player estimates and may or may not be accurate. They can be depended upon for good estimations though.

Well thanks you very much for the instruction. Will find out it myself.

i've been wondering that, now not knocking banish in first place, but what if after mages focusing on the 2 main stats of intel and const that the person in first isn't a mage. so wouldn't having your trash stats closer be better if it happens that a scout or a warrior is in the spot that you might want. there are always potions and gear to help with that but if you've ignored your trash stats then have to fight one of the other class's your screwed. then you have to work on your trash stats or.......what to get around that problem that won't take a long time trying to add 500 pts to the trash stats?

Concerning trash stats, I think it's best to upgrade them at the end of your dailies when you're zeroing your gold out for the day before starting on guard duty.

From what I understand, your trash stats help mitigate damage from those other two classes, but doesn't directly help your damage output, which int will. I think that's why you should focus primarily on int, and then on con/luck, because all three of these will be relevant to your survival no matter what class you play against, whereas upgrading dex would have absolutely no relevance going against a warrior or a mage. So it's very specific to the situation. It's why upgrading trash stats will almost always be last in priority. But you shouldn't completely neglect them either. They are certainly useful, but their usefulness is more limited than the three main stats is all.
