Well then I guess we disagree there, which is obviously fine, since many builds work just fine if you know what you are doing. But for me (in a fighter build obviously) strength is completely useless, since I one shot enemies anyway thanks to Ki if they don't have overblown protection and your Mind Stat is high, which you always should have. Which automatically makes me go to Agi, since it gives me the ability to dodge a lot and go always first.
And yeah hit chance scales with Dex which is why you should have some but there comes a point, where it just becomes pointless to put more points into it since Crit Damage is just not that important if you oneshot/hit overblown protection anyway. And just to be clear I speak from Prisoner Mode, that is why I always will say, Mind is Nr.1 Stat no matter what. From there you can go many roads with a build.
At mid to late game, starting at lv 3, enemies will begin to have comparable stats to your, if not higher, at that point forward every single enemy will have every single stats higher than yours, you just wont be able to dodge nor move first after the first turn at all, they still one shot you with a morbillion overblow, you'd still take stamina damages from counterattacks, which at that point become massive, non crit damage sources become less and less viable, not even talking about 1 shots, due to the giant health pool they get.
Another problem is that Agility at least double if not triple the Combat duration, leads to double amount of pleasure damage you take. Every time you make deal or receive physical damage, you gain pleasure. This is due to Agility itself isnt a damage dealer leads to longer fights and more actions being performed, raising desire and pleasures, and every successful dodge still deals the same pleasure damage, every time you deal physical damage, you get pleasure damage, and skewer attacks counts as 3 hits, for 1 move you deal yourself 3x pleasure damage, your pleasure bar suffers fast, This is way more constraints to your willpower resources keeping pleasure and desire in check, between which you have to compromise for ki and focus, because with agility you lack the raw damage to end fights.
Now combine these with Prisoner Mode.
And I wouldnt call a single 40k damage by itself dealt to anything isnt a boss from crit useless. and unlike Agility, Dex and strength works during Sex, in case you grab a dick on accident, unless you are on your 50th empress run, of course, if you do sex you miss the fun part of the game am I right?
