Okay... this is the first time I got to a Monk... which I am regretting ever passing the first time I got to pally.
Yes... I got lucky and MQ'd back to back.... anyway... I will link gear available... I need some idea BASED on
the gear how to stat my Monk... this is what I was planning so far...

I have 13 to start... so
10 to vita... just for the added life
03 to Int... will help to have some mana for SOME healing ability

Add Points To INT up until I reach 40 hard... so upto level 18
Add Points To Dex up until I reach 74 hard... so upto level 27
Add Points To Str till the end... so @ level 55 my Str will be: 68 Hard

This way... I can deal some damage... heal a little bit in catacombs and also take a few crit hits.
@ Level 55 I will be wearing these items:

Angelic steelwood staff
Level Req: 45
Damage: 55 to 148
+10 Life Regen
+1 to 25 Mana per Kill
+25% Heal Mastery
+1% Mana Skin

Mystical silksteel padded robe
Level Req: 45
Defense: 0 to 38
+4 Strength
+2 Life Regen
+21% Heal Mastery

Rare focused heal XIV
Level Req: 55
Heals: 75 to 90
Mana Cost: 135
+26 Dexterity ... ... ... This will give me a total of 100 Dexterity
+24 Vitality

Rare focused heal XII
Level Req: 45
Heals: 86 to 104
Mana Cost: 115
+34% Enhanced Effect ... ... ... I think my lvl55 with 11% EE will be better
+6 Intelligence

you're gonna leave yourself too gimped up to do much of anything but leech. IMO, you need to chose one or the other, cast or melee.

I'm going to have to agree with this.

By trying to make an all round character on a very low budget, you'll end up being practically useless at everything when you reach high levels. IMO either go all int as a healer, or all str and dish out damage from the back of a group.

I would recomend rerolling rex, going all int or all str.... if you want a hybrid i would go all int and use normal melee gear with heal in acc slot. if you have anymore question feel free to pm me my friend

Thank you guys for the information...

I have been testing in Arena... with my setup first / re-rolled and still testing... this will give me some more indication to what I will be doing in the end run.
