What i must state???

IMO pure str w/ axes

just finished a pure dex baba actually 16 of them..

easy build semi cheap

either 10 to vita or 10 to dex on base then all the rest in dex

use clubs they are cheap any stat other than ee is a waste of gold
use plates with ee no need pay out the ass for dex and str
use charms with str or dex you can cata this build or arena it and i had no problem with wells

depends if you anna be a tank or dmg

Dex is mega nurfed to the point of dealing dmg. Dex will greatly reduce critical hits done to you.

i went 160str///80 dex last climb

vouch this i got a dex charm and stop at 100-110on barb 130 for most others

after that i go str but if low armor im sure you could go vita if need bee
