Aggression Vs. Accuracy

[wioneo]

I am going to stumble over 99 strength at some point or other and at that time, the only difference between aggressive and accurate(for weapons that have the options), will be the +3 attack or +3 strength. So which one is better over time for dealing damage? It would be great if it was not situational and I could just leave the setting on one or the other forever(after 99 def).

+X% average damage increase

vs

+X% max accuracy roll increase

 

damage is always better ignoring rounding error scenarios.

 

the question is what % increase +3 str lvls will give you

and what % increase +3 atk lvls will give you as well.

 

Obviously if you're lvl 99 strength, and lvl 3 attack

+3 attack would almost +100% your max accuracy roll.

whereas +3 strength would only give you about +3% average damage.

 

equipment bonuses also makes a difference.

 

but almost always, aggressive attack style is better even if your accuracy is below 50%

Although I've always suspected the aggressive attack style hit just a little bit harder than accurate, I never had the exact numbers. Where did you find this information?

Last place that I clearly remember seeing it was on the actual attack style choice buttons in classic, but I'm pretty sure that it is also in the KB somewhere.

 

Also, I was considering a situation with 99 attack/strength and the same equipment bonus. I'm not a member and can't check(easily), but I remember *normal* bonuses of around 130ish slash and 120ish strength, but those numebrs could be completely wrong.

The +3 str will apply to every hit (since it increases your average hit) you make

The +3 accuracy will only make you hit less 0s.

 

Since the str will help you more often, I'd say it's better to use.

 

Personally, I keep them even, just because I like it that way :P

moreso a matter of being a vague.

 

it could be true.

But it would be far too difficult to prove it to be true, assuming it is true.

[SirIzenhime]

well how about this.

 

If you aren't hitting 0s

Aggressive.
