currently lvl 26 with almost 2k hp
i have 35 stat points but i have no idea wtf to put em in
any ideas?

unlike d2 it doesnt make life easier to hold off using stat points until later.

every 1 point in vitality adds more life at lvl up
every point in int adds mana at lvl up

At lvl 26 I would most likely dump all your stat points into dex/str.
Reading some guides might give you a better idea of exactly how you should do it.

Personally, i shoot for 110 dex with my lvl 55 equip, and add the rest to str after that.
As you play softcore I think your vita should be fine (again, i play hc so no idea if i am right or wrong here)
but if i were you i would put every single one of those 35 stat points into dex, and buy an EE weapon instead of a +dex axe...

holy shit
never knew that lol
anyways
before i spend a stat, check out my ls info in my profile for update
any info/idea helps

Well to begin, your entire build is kind of flawed except for your weapon..

Check this guide out, it will give you the basics of what where to stat your points and what items to look for http://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=43961870&f=276

Browse that over and afterward feel free to PM me or post in here with any more questions

k i read through some stuff
everyone says to go dex
but i dont wana go dex
all dex does is increase the chances/dmg of critical strike or something right?
i'd rather go str and have consistent dmg =l
is that a good idea or no?

Yep. Dex increases the likelihood of critical attacks and the damage on those attacks. The thing that you have not mentioned is that dex also helps you tank better.
Dex helps reduce monster criticals on you so if you plan on tanking, it's essential to have some dex.
Now I'm personally a favorite of going pure strength if you're going to go full catacombs, but if not then you'll need some dex to survive in the arena.
