well normaly to start out, people chose a barbarian or fighter, because they can wear HEAVY armor, that is good becasue

you can take more damage and last longer in a game because of your defense, when you pass a master quest you open up

the samarui and he can still wear heavy armor, and if you pass to paladin, you can still wear heavy armor, but when you pass

to monk, now you have to wear a robe, and you ONLY wear a robe until you get to head hunter, he can wear robe and leather armors

and scale armor, and then the alchemist is back to wearing a robe, so now that you understand what armors you can wear, you have to

think about the stats you place, majority of people will put their first 10 points into vitality, and when they level, they mix between dexterity and strength

a good way to become a good solid player is to place 10 points into vitality, put points into dexterity until you're level 20, then from 20 to 71 put

all into strength IF you can't afford charms and armors with high dexterity or strength ON them, your main goal is to have 120 dexterity by level

55, on a fighter, anywhere from 85-110 on barbian <--

IF you are using clubs/swords, if you choose to use axes, you ONLY want up to 85 dexterity

by level 55, every thing else goes into strength

^^ hope that helps you a little bit.

Here I am a rogue. I feel like an outcast!

The Traditional Barbarian:

The traditional barbarian is a standard concept of building for most Melee Characters. Most players use a Strength or Dexterity heavy armor and charms. Dexterity increases your chance to critical hit, and damage dealt when you critical hit. It also reduces damage when enemies critical hit you. Strength is used for increasing weapon damage. In general, you do not want to exceed 120 dexterity and all other stat points go in to strength. The weapon of choice is preferential, usually Swords, Clubs, and Axes with Enhanced Effect.

The Meat Shield Barbarian:

The Meat Shield Barbarian has massive amounts of life and high defense. Place the first stat points into vitality until 75 or 100. They also use Enhanced Effect armors, preferably plate mail or chain mails. The Meat Shield Barbarian also has 100-130 dexterity for the defensive gains. Any additional stats should go to strength. The weapon of choice is preferential, usually Swords, Clubs, and Axes with Enhanced Effect.

The Beast Barbarian:

The Beast Barbarian has massive amounts of damage. All stat points go to strength as well as using strength armors, preferably plate mail or chain mails and strength charms. The Beast Barbarian has a very high average damage, low critical strike. The weapon of choice is preferential, usually Swords, Clubs, and Axes with Enhanced Effect.

Key Points:

The first 3 classes, Barbarian, Samurai, Paladin have the ability to share all of the items in common when using swords.
Dexterity items are generally cheaper to buy than strength items.
If you buy strength items, buy strength charms, as most classes can use them, unlike heavy armors, which are used by only the first 3 classes.
It is recommended to focus on 2 item sets. Swords + Staff (excluding warlock and headhunter), Axes + Daggers (excluding Warlock), Daggers + Clubs (excluding Warlock and Headhunter)

^^ what this information is not saying is that axes have a very high minimum damage, so the more strength you add to the character the more overall damage

the axe will do, if you get 120 dexterity on the barbarian, it will have a better defensive role, because it will get critical hit from monsters LESS, yes, but it will NOT

help YOU critical hit the monsters such as a club or a sword would do, for an axe you want to boost the strength, and keep dexterity generaly around 85 in MY

experience playing the game. It is all up to YOU, it's your world, your creating the character build it as you see fit, and try to experiment with different builds
