Has anyone been welling at high levels with melee gear and a heal charm?

Should i make it with staves and put most of the stat points to dex or go with daggers and str?

Also how much int should i put for this hybrid build to successfully well and solo after lvl 55?


Equipment i could afford:
140-150% ee tier XIV wep
140-150% ee tier XIV heal charm
~ 1k fg for stat armor & charm


Any more tips?

Thank you :)

I have done it. I do not recommend it.
Did it with a 198 EE dagger/+4x str robe/ 63 str charm/ 181 EE heal
Had about....
150 Str
8x Dex
80 Intel
You will most likely need to regen/shrine after each well.

Imo I would just stick to Mage to well.
Much quicker, and you can do multiple wells with ease.

In order of importance:

170+ EE Weapon
140+ EE Heal (Focused > Heal > Wild)
~60+ Stat Armor (Int + Str + Dex + HM)
~60+ Stat Charm (Int + Str + Dex + HM)

Stat 100% into Int.... But MELEE!

For defensive purposes it's HIGHLY important that both your Dex and Int are at least ~115-120. The more Int the better. 160 is just fine for both defense and heals.
Str and Heal Mastery should be valued well on gear since you shouldn't be statting either.

You'll have a tough time with low mana, so Int is very important. Try getting some +Mana if at all possible (weapon maybe?)

Although a slightly different starting stat dist. you can look at my 64 rogue for comparison. The gear on my rogue. Just had 100% success on about 15 wells.
IMO my heal charm and my regular charm are my weakest items, and my armor just happened to be real cheap as a scale, and while less effective would still be sufficient as a robe.

A monk's starting stats should outweigh the scale advantage IMO.
