So you will only have one stat with dex? See what we are doing here, now you are trying to argue what is worthy in a build and what is not. What you think and what another thinks is reasonable or worth it really depends on the build. What about the player who is actually putting "some" points in dex and then using some gear to fill in, but has another stat focus? Again, we are back to "you are playing wrong!" and that is driving your argument for the loot change.
Then we come to the point where dex/str hybrids don't work because the stat requirements for gear are too high. Dex/str hybrids would be completely viable if they removed gear stat requirements and made str and dex meaningful stats. Str and dex are virtually worthless stats because they're the gear requirement stats and weapons scale extremely strongly. Basically every 2 levels is doubling the power of your weapon.
So yes, the problem is because Larian designed the game in a way that made getting dex on plate and str on leather wrong. It's more disappointing because this game was advertised as classless but the only real classless part is that you can make basic magic spells work on just about anyone. I'd have no problem with them changing it to make it not wrong, but simply removing str from leather and dex from plate would be a lot less work and do well as an interim fix.
Seems like when logic fails, best to sling the insults? What about a hybrid build? Oh wait, that is right, you in your infinite wisdom have already deemed any hybrid build to be worthless as well. we are all just idiots and not playing the game right. Yep... you sure are brilliant. I would apply for a job working for Blizzard, I think you would fit right in!
The problem is that hybrid dex/str
doesn't work. The game is anti dex/str. You can do str/int and dex/int as long as int is the secondary. The reason for this is gear. If gear did not have requirements and they made str and dex have meaningful changes then it would work, but right now it doesn't.
Putting all your stat points on the two worst stats is dumb, especially since you won't be able to use the best gear of one of those stats making the other completely worthless as if you can access the highest str gear but not highest dex then you will only use str and vice versa.
