Stat 100 vita, rest str or dex depending on weapon type.
Ee weapons and armor, stat charm. Upgrade weapons as often as you can.
Carry fish and a heal charm to regain hp. Regen gear also will speed up soloing when you can't find a group.
As far as abilities, pick another class type, rogue abilities are funky hybrid type and to play hybrid caster melee is expensive. Powerstrike, Doublestrike, Multistrike all are ok for melee. Salvation is good if you heal.
