    First time trying out a med dexer and I have to say the weapons here are broken. I've been using a non-exceptional verite spear which should hit and paralyze more than a gold exceptional but you miss everytime. Even vanq and power weapons just miss over and over. Why are weapons so broken here? PvP dexers aren't viable.

    Hit chance is based on your fencing skill vs. the weapon skill of your opponent and paralyze on fencing and anatomy skills. Exceptional and magical qualities only affect the durability and damage of the weapon (except for bows.)

    When I'm fighting mages with leather armor I should be hitting constantly, dexers have no chance.

    Hit chance is 50% against GM Wrestling, sometimes you miss 10 in a row, other times you land 10 in a row.
    Go on test and make 1000 swings, you will see that the numbers are correct.

    And no, Weapons of better quality doesnt hit or parablow more often, they just hit harder.

    Med Dexers should be fine.
    Problem is high Barbed AR and useless weapons below power + expensive gear

    Why does so many people try to make an argument that dexxers are fine?
    Dexxers are far from fine, who y'all fooling?

    so?

    An Agapite Spear has the same hit% than the one you can get off a Blacksmith NPC vendor.

    Again, just a damage mod, hitchance will always be 50%

    Of course, might as well just throw potions without a weapon.

    You are correct...Telamon's time is not free, but he does it anyways for no charge for all of us. On the flip side - you choosing to spend your time somewhere is your choice. If you think its better served elsewhere then you are free to go there.

    I play med fencer and have no problem to give chase. As scuba said, purple pots are your friend, just as much as Wands should be.

    Don’t rely solely on your 1 weapon to do 100% the kill against skilled opponents.
