Hi,

I'm currently using a rogue (all dex added) for soloing, and I'm wondering what the best caster and melee (i.e., not hybrid) set-ups (stats etc) would include. I thought about using a fighter, barb, mage or rogue at the outset. The rogue is doing well but I have a feeling that I'm not working under ideal conditions. Maybe I sould try something different? I decided on a rogue because rogues can use any weapons.

I suggest you fighter, because of the powerstrike. You can use it to kill EP's or just use it at 50-80% to kill normal mobs
Second skill would be doublestrike (monk ability) if you don't wanna heal at all (shrines should work fine).
And go for ee medium armors of course or you could even try chains/plates.

As for weapons, I like axes, because fighter has 50+40 stats which increase dmg and critics for that kind of weapon.

There might be some other nice strategies if you chose not to use ee armors. Feel free to ask me more questions.

Thanks for this I was thinking about this sort of thing ... fighters are impressive. If I solo with a fighter, should I split my level-up stats between dex and str? Or should I just do a particular thing if I'm using axes?

Some ppl say it doesn't matter, some ppl prefer 50/50.
I say, if it doesn't matter, and MAYBE there is a tiny little chance that 50/50 works better, then why not - go for 50/50
