    For example:
    An archer is considering a Cao Cao bow (Req: STR 58, DEX 165)
    1) Using a set of gear that has 58 STR in total, putting all AP in DEX.
    or
    2) Using a set of gear that has 58 DEX in total, putting AP to STR until it's 58 and others in DEX.

    Would it be a difference? Mathematically, both should have almost the same dmg output.
    (The question could be asked for thief too, luk vs dex gears)
    Many thanks.

    The only difference is that scrolling for DEX is cheaper than scrolling for STR for archers and therefore generally the better choice.
    When you have AP in STR it's also easier to reset some out whenever you exceed the amount you need when new event gear becomes available

    yeah, this event thing is important.
    lets say you got all str you need to equip your bow but you only have 4 base str (i dont think its possible specifically for archers since str gears are hard to get but just take as an example). sometimes we got an event that gives rings with stats, but if you already got 4 str, all the str from the event items will be useless. so its good to have most of ur items with dex, and theyre cheaper as Nightz said.

    Tbh it’s technically not in my best interest to educate people. The more people keep pushing misconceptions, the cheaper DEX gear gets, and the better for me.

    There is another factor which is if you wanna rely on other people's higher levels of MW.
    It isn't practical to rely on that to equip your weapon, so you should already have enough STR on your own. So then if you get someone else's MW30 or something during a boss run, it will give excessive STR if you have a lot of points in STR, whereas if you had few points in STR, their MW30 would give more of a boost in DEX and higher damage.
    Of course, none of that is relevant if you just upgrade your own MW.
