What is a “perfect” build?
A. A perfect build, for the purposes of this guide, is where not a single stat point (especially DEX) is ever wasted not serving a purpose. Here, DEX stats will always have the solitary purpose of allowing you to equip the most powerful weapon possible at your level. Any DEX stat that is beyond what you need or will need is considered waste, usually because that DEX stat could’ve been a LUK stat. Here, LUK stats are all-important because for Thieves, LUK is the primary statistic that affects how much damage you can do. Everything is designed to maximize LUK.
