i use swords,
then all points in strength?
i can use ee robes?will be good?

not much diff than monk really

go str early levels for speed then gradually pump vit

i go up to 85 vit usually for solo

no point in EE robes until the end, i switch to an EE robe around level 70

you could use salvation as well

1-55 will be reasonably easy as it is with barb/sammy/pala
Expect to regularly throw things into the shrine, so keep inventory empty of other items
Switch to EE robe when you need to start afk regenning in town more than once. For players not using EE robes, it also sorta works going to 100-120 vitality (starting points into str/dex depending if swords/daggers, then rest into vitality).
Given you have decent swords you should be fine, be warned level 74-79 will be pretty painful even if using a 200ee robe. I would expect 78-79 to take you about 20 minutes alone.

Do you actually have an inclination of Light armor vs Heavy armor during a run? Based on your response, NO.



Your questions are misleading in the point that you are either in a FULL group run that is only Whistling vs solo or a group that is exploring with mediocre gear or great gear.

What is your purpose of the Ninja in the group? Is it a MELEE build, is it a MELEE/CASTER, do you have X equipment for either? What purpose or role would you play in a group? Or, are you solo'ing?

Be more specific.

my swords + robes

Those are great to use for solo'ing and dependent on group... a good addition.

For a group run... so you actually have +Strength Robes/Charms (for main) and sit in the back in a full group climb? (note: did not bother hunting your characters).

Your setup is fine... you just need to work with what the group requires from you @ level 1 to MQ... so ask them what role they want you to play... so you maybe in back dealing the best damage you can with what you have... you never know, the group can find a place for you with that gear selection.

OP specifically asked for solo. stay on point.



I was aware of roughly what your sword set is and i stick by that 1-55 with your swords will be easy.
If you solo'd monk, this is basically going to be the same other than you need to hit level 79 instead of 77, I still think 78-79 will take you at least 20 mins, even with that gear.



I suggest you just try it, TJ's information will probably be best seeing he's done it with similar gear to what you have.

Learn to read first line of my post you quoted before saying to stay on point. It doesn't hurt to give advice for group just in case he/she may join one.

Back to topic... You could also try going with "Salvation" and use Int Robe (MQ), get up to 40-50 Base Int, and use an MQ heal type charm that gives around 250 avg heal per cast... try on Main or ACC to test (dependent on main slot charm)

Don’t do this

Why not, I use to solo hunt NMNM using a 10 dex / 45 Heal Mastery padded robe on my ninja before HM got nerfed. The difference now is that Int is the better option. (note: got to admit though, I was using a level 40 spear at the time... like that makes a difference right)
