Starting My Sin

My NL has a base 50 dex, so I guess you can call him "low dex."

With fairly modest equipment I'll equip Timeless Claw, so I personally don't think dexless is such a good idea; I am paying 25 dex to wear a timeless, I can't imagine Skanda or bracer being that much better unless it's WAY better scrolled.

Please note that I am new to NL, this is just what makes sense to me.

DEXless (or near DEXless ; or low-dex, w/e) + High-levelled claw (Craven, Sleeve, Timeless/Reverse) > DEXless Skanda, period. Because of the amount of attacking you're gaining, you lose LUK, but you get more attack, way more attack..

So yes, you're doing it right.
