thx

I would recommend 45 vitality, 50 vitality even better. Then rest intel, and it's pretty much the same as a softcore mage then. Int gear and ee charms, some people melee for the first 15 or so levels but its up to you. Remember to always run at half life though because you can/will get crit high due to the light armor

thx....

and what is with dex...??

Don't need to put any points to dex, of course if you get dex on your armor or item its a HUGE bonus. But its really not needed to waste stat or spend even more fg on.
