Just wondering if this build seems suitable to experienced players.
Here is what I was thinking...

Stats:

Str: Base
Dex: All remaining
Int: Base
Vita: 10 stats (Hardcore)

Gear:

High EE wep (preferably sword for crits)
High EE/def armor (Would EE or dex be more useful?)
Dex charm (Maybe some other nice mods if I can afford)


What you guys think?

I originally planned to make a 75dex/120str Axe barb, but i'm level 15 already and I only have 60str and 48dex and I cant afford the high end stat gear so I wont be able to make this build how I wanted.
So far i've put 10 points to vita and 10 points to dex so there would be no need to remake.

You'll get better results with pure strength man. I did full dex plus dex gear when I started and it's nothing special.

Dex is subject to deminishing return, strength isn't, so it's pretty clear.

Even if you can't get an ideal 120/75 or whatever you aimed for just stay along those lines. Dex is nice for crits and weathering the storm of crits against you, but pure dex isn't really a great setup.

Ok thanks alot.
Is there any weps I should aim to be using? Sword/Axe/Club?

Well they all have pros/cons. Swords are good because you can use them on your first 3 classes, but their damage is wild, meaning you are more likely to waste crits on mobs that already had low life. Axes and clubs are sort of in the same boat together, pretty reliable damage, but can't be used on all of the first 3 classes.

I went for clubs to begin with, they were nice and cheap

So far I've used clubs & axes, I think i'll use them until MQ and then sell to buy some swords
