STATS:
if you dont have good stats, i suggest you to put the first 10 stats in vitality, so you have more life....
if you have good itens put the first 10 in strg or dex (depends on your itens)
in the end you need to have 120 des (with all your itens) and the put the rest in strg..
Weapon:
get the higher EE weapon possible... i sugest you to get AXES, so you use it with fighter/pally/headhunter... and then get some dagger for sammy/monk/ninja
Armor:
Heavy armor (plate mail or chain mail) with EE or Strg or Dexterity.. plate mail its better, because have more defense...
Charms:
if you doing solo its good to have Life steal..
if doing catacomb, get some with strg / dex
