I’ve played around on LS before, I’ve even made it to Paladin before and I’m going to start playing again. However it’s been almost 2 1/2 years since Ive played so I’m not sure of all the changes/nerfs.

I am about to buy a Melee Set with includes Swords/Str Charms/Str Armors/EE Armors. I know I will be able to use this through Paladin but then I’ll need something new and that’s fine, I’d probably just keep playing Paladin anyway.

1) Should I use Fighter or Barb?

https://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=80857515&f=273
^ The Melee Set I will be purchasing ^

Again I know this is situational and depends on play style but just tell me what you suggest anyway.

2) How many stats are going into Vita or all in Str or is it a ratio between Str and Dex

3) Will those items be viable for solo climb to MQ for Feeder / Sammy / Pally


That’s all I can think of for now, if I think of anything else I will post.
Thank you in advance for the help/suggestions.

I would go barb for more Damage

I would take my vitality to 75 then rest into strength

And yes those items will carry you just fine through pali

Either is sufficient really, but you will come to a better understanding based on your play style.

Solo:
Fighter: Powerstrike ability / Retribution / Knockdown
Stats: 60 Vitality using Enhanced Effect Armor / 75 Vitality using Stat armor and rest into Strength

Group:
Barb: Multistrike / Powerstrike. (or just Multistrike, ask group for advice as they determine when to explore or just whistling)
Stats: 60 Vitality using Stat armor and sitting in back / 75 Vitality using Enhanced Effect armor and sitting in front. Strength Rest.

So many play styles, you can click your mouse with one or even two fingers. I'm kinda good so I use 3

erm, multistrike when you're not even samurai or later? interesting i personally avoid anything in the dark red. Pink is fine if it's an ability you like


For group i'd be using bottoms up, knockdown and powerstrike with fighter
For solo i'd be using knockdown, retribution and power strike with barb seeing single target damage is much more important, also great versus well mobs :P

the only time i suggest fighter over barb for solo is on the first climb as easy mode is on = max of 2 mobs, so maxing power strike first is best. to toggle use /set easy 1 or 0. If you're solo'ing you're basically item hunting and imo better off with it off.



oh and to directly answer the other 2 questions:
If you're tanking in group 75-85 vita rest into strength If someone else is tanking then all points into strength.
Solo i'd still recommend 75 vita myself.
No ratios. Just put all points into strength once you've got the vita (i usually get first 20 points into str just to 1 hit all the starter mobs then vita to 75 from level 10-xx)

3. Very solid set, you'll have no issues, you'll need to use the tank armors imo.

When you get to monk, you'll need a dex set + staff set (no point in buying daggers as they'll be 5x as expensive as staffs)

For group climbs every class uses multi including feeder.

fair enough, i can see why, just avoided the red ones in general as they charge very slowly. Will give it a try next time i'm using barb/fighter in a group though.

Doesn't change my solo recommendation.
Changes group recommendation to multistrike, knockdown, power strike/retribution with a barb (or multistrike,bottoms up, power strike with fighter).
