I really want to know what build should i stick..not planning going caster at the moment..
So i wanna know what stat build gear should i stick..

Dex and daggers IMO. Mostly because you can use daggers for sammy, monk, and ninja. Dex robes and dex charms.
Good bit of vita and points into dex
Double strike for your skill and power strike if solo for sure.

Note, just realised he's already level 6x so most of my old post is pointless. so TLDR is decent summary.
TLDR:
So you're basically DISO a robe 35+ dex. I wouldnt be too worried about the defense of the robes, a level 55 padded would probably be ideal as it'd be cheap as well as have a tiny bit of defense.
I would highly recommend a level 55, 130ee+ dagger, here's one i sold recently as some form of price guide: https://ladderslasher.d2jsp.org/itemHistory.php?i=46952291&c=0
There are 2 similar ones for sale atm. had a similar one he might be able to do you a deal on not sure if he still has.
If you're not willing to pay that much, SZSZ has a few others and you can pm me to double check on price if you're unsure.



old post which i spent too long writing:

It kinda depends what you already have.

If you have Swords, then you buy staffs.
If you don't have swords, then you buy daggers.


The main point here is that swords + staffs cover the first 5 classes
Daggers + axes or clubs will also cover the first 5 classes.


Given that both staffs and daggers are both dexterity weapons you'll want a dex robe set and a dex charm set.
EE charms for salvation in the accessory slot is optional.

Spend 80% of your budget on the MQ items, the reason for that is that you'll spend 80% of your climbs at level 55-77.
Getting a t3 dagger with 60 ee and 15 dex isn't really going to be that much faster than a 55ee t3 dagger. Whilst a 140ee dagger lvl 55 compared to a 120ee will save significant chunks of time.



Looks like you're already at level 67.
Lets talk gear:

Magical tintitanium dagger
Level Req: 50
Damage: 293 to 513

+101% Enhanced Effect

Magical spiderthread padded robe
Level Req: 55
Physical Defense: 0 to 51
Magical Defense: 32 to 80

+25 Strength

Rare lightning XIV
Level Req: 55
Spell Damage: 16 to 161
Mana Cost: 109

+40 Dexterity
+12% Experience Gained

Rare wild heal IX
Level Req: 30
Heals: 19 to 196
Mana Cost: 69

+90% Enhanced Effect
+1% Mana Skin

Level 67 Monk
Life: 5430 / 5430
Mana: 1360 / 1360
Experience: 66,470,587
Strength: 65
Dexterity: 159
Intelligence: 20
Vitality: 89
Stat Points: 0

Lets start with the good points, the charm is amazing. The dagger is acceptable.
The robe however does almost nothing for you. 25 strength is basically the equivalent of 3 dex for daggers, so you're basically using a 3 dex 1 crit robe (i'll not get into the crit but this is a very good comparison)
The heal charm is also not really doing a lot ideally want a level 50/55 charm, i have this one hanging around: https://ladderslasher.d2jsp.org/itemHistory.php?i=1219105095&c=0 let me know if you want it.

Stats you've done correct of all points into vita/dex. I'd probably put vita in until MQ as each point is +60 life. So good work in not statting strength.

once you get your mq dex robe you can mule the str robe. Then you might add a little more to vit,

you got your regen gear and hopefully picking good shrineables.

Great advice was given earlier... so following is different.

Checked your 55 gear and what I am about to say is going to sound ridiculous.

If you can not find a Cheap level 55 Padded EE robe, or can not afford a decent Dex Padded Robe... See if anyone has a 50 Vitality robe padded robe, hopefully with other mods like LpA / LpK, Phys Dmg Reduction and or Heal Mastery (yup you do need a better Heal charm though)

Sounds strange... but the Vitality (50+) is more physical defense and +2 Regen.

Another option... level 55 Spear with minimum 100% EE again with side mods. When using heavy weapons, the speed is 1.8 seconds but double damage, it takes some practice to get used to them.
