For a melee rogue build, seeing as the rogue has HIGH dex to start with,
would it be the best move to get str gear, and put stats into dex, after
the first 10 are in vita?? i just want to make sure i'm doing it right.

typically for a melee build i put the firt 10 into vita
then with my lvl 55 gear i like to have between 110-120 dex and then the rest into str
seems to work well for me

Okay. Thank you very much.
Most of my gear is str gear though.
should i just keep it that way??
or get dex gear, and pump str.
or would half and half work??

you got that right, this depends on your individual gear.

if you already have a good strength setup, you can stick with it
and get the missing dex points to reach 110-120 by stating them. the rest can go into strength again.

if you have very good dex gear already, you rather stat less dex and more strength as you just need less dex to reach this 110-120.

if you feel you want to improve, e.g. because you see a nice dex armor or hybrid armor on the market
you can of course do this and apply the stating to the new situation, thats no problem.

But usually, dex gear is more expensive then strength, especially good hybrid gear e.g. dex/str or dex/lifesteal str/lifesteal is very popular and thus costs more fg,
so this isnt a must have if you are low on fg.

Personally, as a melee char i would recommend to have at least 1 item with life steal in the higher levels, this really helps a lot as
you steal life depending on the damage output you do and can recover your life during combats.
