You can stack the stat you want boosted. I had a T4 fighter with a higher agility stat than strength before leveling. Geared her with strength based armour and weapons and gave her gruel. Once she hit 20, I force fed her rebirth elixirs until she ran strength perks.
I’ve got one level 20 agility focused T4 melee fighter. Armed with whirlwind blades and a full bejewelled set (both T4 crafted). Her max agility damage bonus is at 91%
Just a side note, bearers, even named ones, have a hidden penalty to damage. No matter how good the stats, they are rarely going to be able to do much on the higher orders, especially in upper level zones.
Also, Thrall AI has difficulty with many weapons added later. They don’t seem to quite understand Shortswords or Katanas.
Yep agility works for daggers. Only way to get thralls to do any damage, really. Bleed bleed bleed. My named bearer thrall started with insanely high agility, its hysterical watching her flip around with her pack
I can assure you, higher tier fighter thralls are more than capable of doing “real” damage next to which bleed becomes insignificant But yes, if you’re using a bearer then it becomes a compromise of no damage but high HP and inventory space.
He is He is a lot worse in fact. If you check out the spreadsheets I linked above… even the mightiest of named bearers would need ~450 STR or AGI to catch up with just the base damage multiplier of a Berserker, not counting any further strength / agi on the zerker So I doubt you’d get those amounts regardless of the rebirth potions used.
Named bearers have a 0.3 multiplier… which means what it sounds like… their damage is multiplied by 0.3 so less than a third of what their base damage would be.
That’s not going to be obvious on official servers though where you only see healthbar numbers if you enable them, but you cannot see damage numbers.
Here’s an example of a very average berserker in non-epic heavy armor and a regular star metal mace soloing the entire bridge event on an authority build, without any interference from the player, you can see the damage numbers on the left, I doubt your bearer can do that to this degree
I get ya. I do and I believe in your math. I have a zerker and him and he is tearing through things. We just did vaults at level 13 for him and he does not care. He is honey badger. I know he is not supposed to be good. But he is the most aggressive purse I have ever had.
