okay.. well i have been using my fighter as a small fg producer but now i would like to try to get as far as i can in the climb.. so before i try i have few questions.

about the weapons.. do they matter that much what build you should do? i would like to use swords so what build would be best for my fighter? (also is there a big price difference between the weapons? clubs,axes and swords)
can you build your char by putting all stat points to dex/str and then get the other stat that u didnt take from items? or should you just get same stats from the items that you have put your stat points in?

also are the proficiensies capped some how? or can you have all of them maxed?

There are price differences between the weapon types. Swords and daggers tend to be more expensive, while staves and clubs tend to be the cheapest. Axes are in the middle.
Your build doesn't really have to change at all based on your weapon type. For playing in catacombs you'll want at least 80-120 dexterity, and all other points can be used for strength. If you feel you need it your first 10 points could be used in vitality.

Proficiencies are only really "capped" I guess by the overall EE cap for a given tier. So if you use a 60ee tier 3 weapon, you won't gain bonus damage from proficiencies. That's my understanding at least.


Feel free to pm me at any time with LS questions.

There is a ton of info in in these two places if you're up for some reading.
