Looking for a Good Blacksmith/Whitesmith guide

There be a teeny weeny bit problem. If you miss, you can't stun with CT as far as I know. It would work with V(VV)S weapons, that have some damage that always hit. But that means switching weapons everytime you achieve stun, since even VVVS is not the best weapon for CT. Weapon Perfection won't do anything with it. I am not really sure how would this work with no dex vs. no agi, if you would achieve 95% hit (I am considering PvP, not WoE). In this case, Sacri pallies would be the biggest problem, as they have stun imunity and quite high flee.

I see, paladins would be a fatal flaw then.

Weapon Research
Effect: Increases character's HIT by +2 per SkillLV, ATK by +2 per SkillLV and weapon forging success rate by +1% per SkillLV. The damage applies even on a missed attack and is affected by elemental properties and card modifiers. Contrary to some rumor, this skill DOES NOT improve upgrading chances at an Upgrade NPC.

You will never, fully, 100% miss.

In PvP, no. In WoE, yes. And, 5% chance, even that like 20% (rough guess) is still too low to risk it.

Might want to try low-dex CT on a Flee-built player yourself. Because I'm pretty sure my server allows CT to stun even if it doesn't connect.

Indeed, Sacri pallies might become a problem, so just take the safe way out and get 50 DEX. Doesn't use up much points anyway.

Normally for my WS I go for around 80-90 vit, max STR and around 177-179 aspd (with 1haxe). 30-40 dex is good enough for me to hit vit chars and stun agi chars XD.

WS will always have to decide between damage and defense, but using a high str build with Fury combined with Smokie and Frilldora cards, you can usually take out at least half a dozen people before something hard hits you, as it takes 2-5 CT for most classes, and except for SB and Asura, absolutely nothing outdamages a WS in melee.
