questions

Back in the old days Dex was best from what I remember.. Now str owns? Why the sudden massive change... I am sure dex still best higher levels?

Strength was always better at anything under 150, even in bots2 IIRC. Dex is better at higher levels yeah, starting at somewhere between 150 and 200 depending on who you talk to.

Been yearsss since I played lol. But I remember dex being best starting around level 55 and up once you get that one good wep. Can't remember the name it was like 0str and 200 or 300 dex to use.. Some items might have got changed around or not around anymore. I have to try and remember my old bots n see what weps

Skull Drill is 300 dex, Solar blade is around 200 I think, might have been those? Regardless, a properly built frosts/conqs/equals/answerers will smash any dex build at that level. It's less about the weapons and more about the armour that strength affords, dex only really starts getting good when it can wear equivalent armour.

You can find a list of weapons (and all armour) here

Yeah its been about 4-5 years since I played. Things have changed massively... I have to use shield now to beat the str builds. I am under 40str and now beating high str builds making 800k credits a battle lol.

I think I remember when skull drill was the "best" (read: highest damage) weapon in bots2. That was a very long time ago. You probably mean 10+ years ago if that's what you remember (bots2 no longer existed as of 5 years ago).
