Pus Spitter (Siege Crossbow)

I recently found the pus spitter unique siege crossbow ((50-64) - (105-134) Dmg). Its a necromancer crossbow in case you didnt know. I am planning on following the fishymancer guide stickied at the top of the forum. My question is since I am planning on using this bow which dex requirement is only 28 should I still put all of these points into dex to get max block? Or is this a good enough weapon to keep equipped for the whole game and so those points into dex can go into vitality?

And if I dont put any points into dex am I gonna be able to hit anything with this weapon anyways?

I never really see the point of a fishymancer going for dex, because he should'nt be getting close to monsters anyway - his skellies will. If you are using that crossbow and no shield I don't even think you even have blocking at all?

for one, epure is right, no shield with a xbow. as for max block, some people like to go and fight with their minions(i think there are 2 or 3 guides about this), so max block can be useful. of course, adding to dex decreases likelihood to be hit, but i dont think that that is significant enough alone to warrant excessive points in dex.

If you are really keen on the whole poison Xbow thing, you can use Angelic ammy + ring combo to up the AR. But then again it is not the best option as you will lose out on the ammy and ring skill slots.

There are other ways to get AR. Dex is just a bad choice of source for it; you get something like 4 AR per point in dex, while a single grand charm can give you around 100 AR.
