Re: Quadrant Delta-Delta-Delta/Aquassion Logo
Have PP regeneration, use skills that can't miss (spells, animal kung-foolery).
You can also use items for stunning (and even damage, though that will not scale well).
Or don't buff your attributes (str, int, ref); instead buff your to-hit and critical hit chance.
