Suggestion to improve Dex based toons

[maximus123123]

Allow dex modifier to increase attack speed and movement speed for all toons.
So at 40 dex, a toon would get +15% attack speed and movement speed.
This way toons heavily invested in dex will get a higher bonus while toons that go str can still get a slight boost (16 is easily achievable granting +3% attack speed and movement speed.)

This goes along well with the impression that a higher dex allows faster speeds in both attacking and movement.

I'd like to see Weapon Finesse allow Dex to add .5 damage per mod.

Don't agree - I know Dex toons are scrooged because the current game environment places a higher priority on faster killing than on self-preservation, but that doesn't mean the solution is to make Dex help you kill things faster.

If you want them to make an investment in Dex worthwhile again, you should probably consider the fact that defense is worthless compared to simply killing things faster.

With Fighters and Barbarians getting 800-900hp, they have survivability on their side as well as having an ability to kill fast. So not sure how your argument that dex based toons have better self-preservation is valid.

I know what AC is and I know it takes a lot of work to get it high and then it's useless on epics.
So what's the point?

AC is the difficulty monsters have hitting you... the whole point of a DEX based toon is supposed to be to enable a higher AC (dex is the stat that usually makes AC higher), therefore making it harder for Monsters to hit you. QED- more survivability, if only 1/20 strikes hits you, you have effectively over 20 times more hp (because you are also much easier to heal)

I know what it is...i have a toon that has high AC.
Try it on epic sometime and tell me how useful it is
