I think i stated 5 facts about agi being better than str. Do you disagree with that?
Footwork has nothing to do with Agi. This is a myth. Only if you backpedal and stab (GTX playstyle) . Then yes if you call the ''s'' key footwork then i have to agree.
So do you believe is fair that agi does more dmg? Do you think is fair that you can run faster ride the best horses have the best shield have more wp more dmg output .So make a proper comparison.
Footwork is literally movement, and s-key is a movement. Using it to your advantage would be using proper footwork. Footwork does have much to do with agility, since agility not only makes it easier but also giving it more potential. I really dont see the hate on S-key, its the very core footwork to do in this game.
So what is footwork in your book if not s-key? w only? but agility does have things to do with w... hmm..
I saw the so called facts, but im not sure if they can be called facts since you havent made proper comparisons, you could be pulling shit out of your ass. Allthough i do agree on some points, but i cant say for sure if an agi based build would out damage a strenght based one, out of personal experience i feel like strength has the most consistent damage, while agility has more potential, but the difference in highest damage hits is pretty much the same. But then, you are comparing a 18-24 build to a 39-3 build or whatever strength whore build you have.
Your second point in having 30 agi 0 athl gives the same movespeed as 7 athl, bullshit, i did a 13-45 something attributes only build, i was slower than most people in heavy armor and i was in light.
Third point, yes you do get more wp, but with a balance build you have plenty and wont have to go for more agility, hell you can even hybrid at 18 agi. Sure, it becomes harder at lower agility, but thats also when things get less viable, and hybriding would make it even more poop.
Fourth, afaik most cav just goes for minimum req for the heavy horses (maybe this is old cav builds im not sure), you can get some more i guess basing your build on agility but i really cant see how much it would be worth. Builds are still centered around balanced attributes here, so to me they are still both worth it.
As for shields, its also just meet lowest requirement or sit around 4 or 5 points in it, thats 15 agi, which makes it viable to most strwhores, staying around balanced attributes still the best.
As for the 2 points on health, if you can manage to do decent footwork and positioning with low movespeed then you can get heavy armor and tank 3 or 4 times the amount an agi build could, id say thats pretty decent, all things considered. You wont have to run unless youve managed to put yourself into that position, which could be prevented (most of the time, unless the team is complete ass).
Damage penalty not having agi? i think at below 12 agi you start losing out on potential, or maybe it was 9, cant remember, but the same happens with having less than 12 str, you lose out on damage. Hell i think you star losing out on it when below 18 str.
Also i see heskey contributing plenty as usual, the person ive actually never even see play this game, but hell this forum is a game of its own.
