Hello,

I play an AXE fighter lvl 50.

I statted Dex up to 60 (put rest in STR) and used STR equip all the way.

I use a 36 DEX Charm now, so that I have 60 Dex for Cata and 96 Dex for Solo.

At Level 50 I use a 119% EE Plate. This works quite well for tanking in catacombs (with STR charm).

But when I go solo (Arena), it seems to be quite slow leveling.

So, should I look for a STR armor instead?

I see 4 combinations there:

1: EE armor with DEX charm (thats what I use right now, but I have more DEX than STR this way)

2: EE armor with STR charm (I have only +28 STR charm, and I would have only 60 Dex then)

3: STR armor with DEX charm (then I would have 96 DEX with even higher STR, but no EE)

4: STR armor with STR charm (Tons of STR, but only 60 DEX and no EE)

Which combination is best (for axes/solo run)???

Thx

scale > plate for tanking as you probably know but if you were to use any of the 4 options i would say #2 because you dont need more than 60 dex with an axe anyway and the more str you pump the higher your average is.
hope this helps somehow

Wow thx for the very fast answer. I know scales are better but very expensive at this level.

60 Dex is really enough? For solo?

If you have a descent tank armor, 60 dex should be fine. You will get a few hits from time to time that are fairly big but that shouldn't matter to much.
I agree with DirtyDan, use the tank armor and strength charm.
