Okay, so I just got back on SC, gonna go with a sword dex / build on my sammy.
Willing to spend about 2k-4k fg on this char.

What EE's should I be looking for on swords lvl 10, 15, 20, 25
What dex sould I be looking for on armors / charms on lvl 10, 15, 20, 25

Ty in advance (also, what should I spend on this items?)

solo or cata?

Like most things in life the more the better

Swords = most ee you can afford

Armors = enough dex with stats to = 125 dex (if low-mid range ee on swords) or 150 dex (If ee on swords is high)
