Does high dex scale the damage of your ninjutsu attacks / scrolls?
I originally spec'd into dex and magic, but it was rough early game. I wanted a light armor, agile character. But I was getting OHK by everything, including scubs. And if not OHK, I'd be stunlocked by every enemy combo, effectively a "OHK". Cannot even dodge out of it. If they land the first hit, you're eating them all. Sometimes I could block mid combo, but lose all my Ki. So I'm like, what's the point of this mobility if I can't escape combos? Is lower mobility really that much of a penalty anyway? I'm fighting these other players' graves and they seem pretty damn fast even in heavy armor.
So I reroll into a more balanced build where I can wear heavy armor and be mid-mobility... still getting stunlocked by combos. Despite high toughness, my attacks (even abilities) are often interrupted.
Anyway, I'm not feeling this as a tankier player. Ki feels more important, especially in these marathon boss battles where Ki management is what eventually kills me. Think I'm going back to Nioh ninja... just wondering if higher ninjutsu actually makes your kuni hit harder.
