Out of those 3 choices which would be the most effective for solo 55-71
Gear I use if it helps any
136ee sword
41str charm
plz give your reason why you choose what armor plz
scale is not up there because I can't afford a really nice on so plz don't say scale

Work on your Monk first...

EE Plate ... more maximum defense
EE Chain... more minimum defense/more base magical defense
I personally do not agree with Scales when solo'ing... there are more Physical monsters than Magical monsters.
If you come across high dmg'ing monsters in Arena... and weaing EE plate... more than likely they are Magical
Scales for Catacombs...
As for the Dex comments being better because you are using a sword... srry... do not agree fully.
Dexterity gives you the same amount of Critical chance no matter what weapon you use... the difference
is that Sword has higher damage when you successfully get a Critical Strike in... so this is why people
say it is better with sword... at the end of the day... the average damage would be the same if using
an Axe (same stats) with the same amount of Crit strike chances... hopefully that makes sense.
EE Plate / 90 Dexterity minimum
EE Chain / 100 Dexterity minimum
Best output for either Armors... 120 Dexterity
View your Dex when building.
Take into Account what your Dex will be by level 55 (not including items)
Add in any Dexterity items @ level 55
What is the Total?
Do you need More?
Once you have that figured out... you will know what you need.
NOTE: Do some tests with what you have available now before buying anything.
... basically try the 90 dex... then 100 dex... then 120 dex (if you can)
