ok so i have decided to all dex for various reasons. should i go axe? or sword? and for weap i know i want lots of ee but i am wondering what about charm and armor all help will be appreaciated

I'd go full str for axe. Anyway, you should invest a bit in your stuff . Going with lvl5 axe on lvl32 isn't the best option, also, your armor and charm should be changed ( for example tank plate as armor ( as much ee on plate as you can get, they are cheaper than stats armors and you will fit in catas as tanker, good add would be dex charm ).

i am gonna wait to invest into items untill i get the hang of ls i dont wanna go wasting fg on items ii dont need since i am clueless on how ls works. i have gone all dex so far so does that mean i should use a sword? and so far i have spent zero fg on ls so i am not gonna complain about my items hehe im 0/1 mq so far but i am eager to learn more wich is why i posted.

so im going all dex if u can please tell me if sword is weap i need to aim for i know lots of ee


so dex charm?

and tank plate isnt a armor option i see on mp so please let me know if there is a exact armor that is best plz

oh, okay, I got it. In case you need help on what spend your FG, lmk - I'll try to help you!

Well, swords are usable by Fighter, Barbarian, Rogue, Samurai, Paladin, Ninja, and axes by Fighter, Barbarian, Rogue, Paladin, Headhunter.
For first 3 classes you could use swords, what fills your needs for very long time.
Tank plate is an armor, with enhanced effect, same as on weapon. It increase the armor defence, what means you could be in front in catacombs. Plate mail got best defence, what means it's the best armor for tanker.

You can use everything, it's not like when you put stats in dex axe is useless, and the only possible option is sword.

Starting Barb... full Dex is a good idea.
Stick to the EE Plate / Weapon
Charm... Strength is a good option for this build...
________

I started with 15fg... grinded in Arena a bit... also found/sold/bought better items (been playing 5+ Months now)

Axe or sword... doesn't really matter... it is personal preference.
Axe for standard damage... consistency... these can be a little bit more
Sword... lowest minimum damage... highest maximum damage for normal weapons.
... Dex helps with crits etc...

I started sword... and remain sword... as you level up... you can also alter with Axe etc...
________

Minimum Strength on item... go for like 20 on a charm... this will help a bit at later stages...

ahh ok i am doign some reading and seeing that i should go opposite stats for armor and charm i found a cheap charm 17 dex 59 ee should i use that and go for ee str on my armor? sorry if i am a pest with question but its kinda all i have is questions since i kno wvery little about ls :X

EE on the charm only effects the Charms Property... not your defense or damage (unless casting with the charm)
... Charm Slot... all attributes go towards character
... Acc Charm Slot... only Enhanced Effect is applicable (most people use heal type charms here... even barbs)

so charm go for alot of dex? or alot of str? or + life with either str or dex again sorry for all questions jsut dont wanna go blowing tons of fg on shit i dont need

for melee characters EE on charms is useless, since it increase their dmg for casting - I hope you're not casting as barbarian
You should check the Item Drop Prefix Guide ( http://forums.d2jsp.org/img.php?x=100675 ). It's useless to buy 15 dex charm on lvl40, when you could buy same on lvl0.
Higher level, means higher ammount of stats on item.
EE/str combo on plate is very expensive ( serious ammounts of stats, ofc, not 50 ee and 5 str, for example ). Same EE on plate is okay, and it's not that expensive. Check the Drop Prefix Guide for the ammount which is maximum, and think how much you'd like to have.



sure, we're here to help you.
For low lvls life is helpful, but on higher stats > life.
Like I said, check the drop prefix guide, and choose ammount of stats which you'd like to have. It's useless to buy 30 ee armor on lvl30, 'cause it will be 'junk' and you won't tank anyway.
