dex?/str?

both! imo

try this, its a mix of inputting stats but hey it helps for me, instead of going all into ones stats and focusing on buying one specific stat item

the goal of any melee chars are 120-130dex, how to get to 120dex? easy i use this to guide me, str in the beginning to guide u toward the low lvls with decent dmg while dex in mid to boost the crit, while building to max ur dmg with str in the end

initiative points (+10): 5vit/5dex

1-31: all str

32-55: all dex

55+: all str

gears: weapon the higher ee the better ( if u want fast lvls i recommend the catacombs while equipping a decent (the higher the ee/ the higher the lvl the better it is) sword/club so people wont be talking smack about ur dmg)

armor: +str (30+ recmmended) ( u can do the other way around like str charm/ dex armor)

charm: +dex (30+ recommended)
