Well it is a Question you must ask yourself too...if you are Pvping(person vs person) at that given time or prepared if ye were to be attacked while your doing something else, like questing, crafting, mining, training to Lvl and so forth... Depends on locations lol as well Diplomacy's and who you might be ran into.
The other is PvM, (player vs monster) which each Monster has a set of given stats....in order to be successful at your kills and survival...you need to know your enemies monster or player.
Monsters or person, you need the right amount of Dexterity to be able to hit them, you will also need a certain amount of Strength to do Damage vs their Armor same goes vice versa in roles, to be able to make it tougher for your opponent while Defending.
If, you do not know yet or have tried using the Stat Resetting Mage on the Spawn map north of the bridge across the River...he's in blue with Santa looking hat lol he helps everytime when ye need the right attributes for the right adversity monster or person.
Keep in mind tho, he will reset what you've already gained in Xp Points to Zero, while keeping your lvls.
This will be your choice to either lvl first since you're close with your experienced gained or reset in need towards the cause at hand...example wars and battles involving Clans that you might need to sacrifice or not...in order to Challenge your adversity not stuck on killing specifics of something else you had in mind or maybe you've even wanted to kill the same Monsters with your Buddies and Clan.
This is from the Official Game Help for Quick Reference, which includes many for ingame and out of game questions to be answered and how it all works, can be found in forums in General Information under Game Help and also on your handheld devices under Help. Well,sheesh, here goes the Reference, cuz I could ramble on with strategy lol, here goes bud:
The hit chance for non-magical attacks are calculated like this: If X>0 or your dice_role was 5, you have a successful hit.
dice_role is a random integer from -5 to 5. So to hit a certain number is 1/11. This number is refreshed every strike.
X is a static number, calculated by X = (DEX + dice_roll) - DEX_OPP.
When your DEX >= DEX_OPP+6, you will always hit this opponent!
You need DEX >= DEX_OPP+5 to avoid normal hits by the opponent. Still, by a chance of 1/11, a critical hit can injure you.
Once, a hit was successful, non-magical damage is assigned by DMG = max_strength.
max_strength is strength including all items you use (it is the number shown in your backpack).
If the dice role was -5 to 3, ARM_OPP reduces the melee damage.
If the dice role was 4 or 5, ARM_OPP is NOT reducing the melee damage.
The time, that a non-magical attack takes, is (1000 - [WEAPON_SPEED - 4] * 100) milliseconds.
Every weapon has its one WEAPON_SPEED. Click on the weapons for details.
Example: With WEAPON_SPEED=7, you hit every 700ms = 0.7 seconds:
1000 - [7 - 4] * 100 = 1000 - 3 * 100 = 700.
I do hope this helps you out on your Strategies. One tip I could give you tho but it's risky is the one of the Special Attack Skills you Aquire through lvling allows you to Hit all the Time it's activated, depends how ye play it as well who against tho lol and what you set your stats...which is an awesome feature in this game that we can change them for free anytime we want to.
