It is generally considered that if you are going melee that you should obtain between 100-120 dex WITH items. I usually like at least 65 vit because I play hardcore, but you can get away with less on softcore. The rest of your stats should go into strength. You want gear with strength/dexterity and weapons with the highest ee possible. You might consider purchasing a sword set since they can be used straight through to paladin.
