now testing on alpha just for SanJorge

Agile Stance
75/25 str/dex ratio optimises damage

only problem is that since it's a stance the compromise is that you can't use tank or beserk at the same time

SanJ please test this out and let me know what you think
you can buy the stance from the fighter specials trainer in uni

Are we talking Fighter or rogue here now? Why are you using a Crossbow if you’re a fighter? The crossbow damage sounds MEGA wrong for the new SJ DANCE STANCE (DODGE)!

the fun is over

the agile stance now only takes effect if your ratio would normally be over 3/1

so it won't have any effect if non fighter weapon equipped

For me its fine (at least some chars can have their power back( some used berserk(my vamp human 2h axe fighter 60/40 on NG )), i will use it on 3 - 5 chars, but i am not sure if others will like it , that's why i had the idea of counter on successful dodge vs melee and maybe best is to start with half base damage . That way more players will like the idea of having more dex.

Maybe Agile stance could give a slight (e.g. 5-10%) attack speed boost? It does make sense after all, being called 'agile stance'.

Your problem should be fixed by multiclassing, or playing a rogue.

Ok, ok hear me out. Neither of those alternatives is appealing right now, but I'm saying that they could be if we make some changes. There seem to be two suggestions to having a 75/25 fighter right now (other than not playing one at all): Either make 75/25 fighter a viable subclass, with things like stances to balance things, or make a new class entirely.

Respecing stats seems a little cheap (Unless actually polymorphing, switching stats shoudn't be that easy), and build specific stances add unnecessary complexity. You could try to make a new class, but the niche has already been filled by fighter. Egg will run into the hassle of renaming all the fighter weapons so that they can be used by the new class, like with priest and necromancer. This time, however, there won't be a good RP reason for doing so.

Really, if you get the synergy right between two classes, having 75/25 in a class with a 90/10 ratio shouldn't be a big deal. Who knows, maybe in the future even 60/40 fighter multiclass build will be possible. My main is a rogue/mage with a 15/45/40 str/dex/int ratio. Stat ratio isn't everything. Now currently, there's no incentive for leveling dex other than fulfilling your weapon ratio, and so there's no synergy. Tweaking rogue, multiclass, and dex could fix this. I think changes like these would really help the game - it's not just specific to SanJorge.

Before this turns into weaker berserk stance, how about porting it to PD , like it is.

It is, i bought it 4 times already (PD and NG ) . It even works good with 2h weapons .

Does berserk reduce enchant trigger chance?

no, I don't think berserk trigs enchs any less : faster weps make it trigger less, but berserk affects attack speed, not weapon speed
I just checked the src and this should be so
be interesting if anyone can prove it otherwise
