Question about stones for vanguard

Sinnesfrid

Is there any idea in giving dodge, block and counter spirit stones to anyone else than vanguard?

give all dodge and block to vanguard til 90%
as for counter, if your vanguard isnt taking any crits and if giving them to your support/assault can make them survive longer and be useful then yes

Tbh. Different vangs need different stones. I don't have any dodge stones on my vang because other stones were more important to me on her. I put those on my supports to help migate damage there.  For a defensive vang yes. I think dodge is a welcome stone. But for offensive vang once you get strength, block, counter, break def, hit, and critical your out of slots generally. I wouldn't give ano of these for a stat as minimal as dodge.

Agree with Mylar to a certain extent. Dodge can be pretty useful maybe early ingame where people do not have much hit rate. However, the higher in level you get the less purpose it will serve, in the higher level range have very high hit rate. Makes dodge pretty useless. Tbh when thinking of building a strategy , I would just plan a end game strategy from the get go and in that case, dodge is a waste of time.

Well, dodge is pretty good vs other vanguard where they don´t focus as much on hit as support and assulterer.

Which can sometimes be the difference between winning and losing. I keep Dodge in 3 slots for my VG because it manages to kick in about half the time against an opponent in CSB's Sophisticated Rangiku. Giving me the ability to clear 3 lines. Without the dodge she'd get to fury skill and take my assaulters out quicker.

So it definitely can still have its uses even on an offensive VG.

I wouldn't use them on offensive vanguard, because you need hit, break defense and maybe crit on him already(like mylar said). If you have defensive vanguard or use nel, dodge is really good thing.

I know that dodge will have to go later on but for now I am quite still new in the game so I feel it more important to build my other characters spirit stones up so dodge works well for now. Its always way better with a dodge stone than an empty spot and since both I am quite new in the game and started the second day of the server so does my dodge work wonders for pvp for now.
I just wondered if there were any point in giving any of the other stones to anyone else.
