Get about 120 dext by level 55 (or lower), and put all other points into strength. Weapon choice is preference. I like axes//dagger more than the others. You should use plate armors and charms with strength or dexterity as the main mods. Enhanced effect will also help on heavy armors. (especially in catacomb games)
Same thing with a barbarian .. although some people do like pure strength builds when using axes.
