I am getting annoyed by my PC's inability to hit things.

He is a 2HD warrior setup. His attack rating is 85. I have Alistair at like 92 and Zev at like 84 yet they seem to hit most of the time. It is really frustrating with my PC though since he is a 2HDer and I watch him take his slow swings and it misses!

What could be wrong? His dex is probably around 17 or 18 I think.

No he's not constantly being Misdirected or anything like that

Dex seems way too low.  I'd boost that stat.  You should be at least upper 20s minimum.

[Prsut]

OK I will start putting more there. I have STR in the 40s and CON is almost 30 and some points in WILL. I almost completely neglected DEX

[Mizh00]

Make sure you have precise striking.

[Pubknight]

For a warrior I believe Dexterity is the most important stat.

Strength obviously for gear, but after your strength meets gear requirements, I put everything into dexterity.

There is enough gear to boost constitution so you need not ever put a point into it.



Other things to look at as well are offensive buffs: heroic offense, song of courage, etc. Those should help as well.

[Prsut]

You dont think it's important to put points into STR for more damage output?



After 38 you never put into STR again?

Unless once again the system's bugged, you shouldn't need to pump dex to hit with a 2H. Each point of Strength is worth 0.5 attack, as is each point of Dex. Tanks need dex for defense and for shield talents, dual-wielders need it for talents and to boost Dagger damage, but a 2H warrior only needs it if they plan to have aggro a lot.



The first thing to do is check the 'heroic achievements' tab, which will tell you how often you're actually hitting. Because swinging a 2H is a big investment in time, you'll want that as high as possible. Unless you're hitting all the time, avoid Powerful Swings like the plague. Try to keep Precise Striking on all the time as soon as you have the stamina for it, and especially early on, get your mage to cast Heroic Offense on you. It's also worth noting that some 2H attacks, like Sunder Arms, actually hit twice and are a bit quicker than regular attacks, especially handy when your opponent has a sliver of life left.



I'd have to respectfully disagree with Pubknight here, because I personally wouldn't put a point in Dex with a 2H warrior knowing what I know now. You're all about the single-hit damage with a 2H, and all the dex in the world won't increase it one jot.



Final thought- AFAIK Two-Handed Sweep can't miss

[Pubknight]

Interesting.

but if he's missing a lot, are you better to hit for 100 damage 1 out of 3 times, or 55 damage 2 out of 3 times?
I fully accept that I could be wrong as I haven't played a 2H warrior myself... my experimenting just comes via Sten and Oghren... but higher Dex sure seems to be more effective in my different run throughs.

I'm sure someone has done a full bore analysis... that would be interesting to read.

Check out this thread, which is a compilation of build guides.  You'll probably get more than your fill of number-crunching and analysis!

What? no....do not pump dex even a little, unless you are tanking with him.

[Pubknight]

In thinking about it a bit more, for a 2H warrior, it probably makes sense to do +2 Strength, +1 Dex at each level up as a rule of thumb. (With enough Willpower for a decent Stamina pool). I think constitution points are kind of wasted to be honest because of things like Lifegiver, and properly implemented healing. Plus, as Majere613 alluded to, you aren't the tank, so you shouldn't really be getting hit /drawing aggro too much.

Alright, I'll put it simply, unless you want to tank, put 0 points in dex, as in never, it does nothing for your chance to hit that str dosen't do. Completely wasted stat points for 2hander dps.

[mosspit]

True. Dex and str both add 0.5 atk per pt. The reason where a 2hd warrior seems to miss more might be related to a slower auto-atk rate/or sustainables.

[Majere613]

I just started a new HN 2H warrior, because I'll take any excuse to hack me some Darkspawn. With Precise Striking on at all times, a 93% hit-rate so far in the Tower of Ishal

EDIT: It'd be higher if I hadn't messed about with that stupid Chasind Maul for giggles. Nasty thing!

Strength and Dex have EXACTLY THE SAME ATTACK RATING BONUS.

Dex does not increase damage, and you're 2hander shouldn't be the main tank so he doesn't need Dex.

Unless he ~IS~ the main tank in which case consider it, but Sten is working fine as my main tank with zero invested points in Dex with just his massive armour. All points in strength. He's beasting whenever my mages let something approach the party. Which is not very often, but still...

[soteria]

The reason you're having a hard time hitting is that you put so many points in will and con.

[Matheau]

If you look at any game, there is always a misconception that slower weapons miss more or that misses with them are more devastating because you lose more damage. This is virtually never true. It's a matter of perception due to the slower attack speed. Fast weapons miss just as often, but if you are attacking more than twice as often this gets overlooked. I basically maxed strength on Oghren and his hit rate was roughly 90+% like most any other Warrior or Rogue build I was using.
