    imho you should reset ur vit a bit, and just put in some hp shards, but on the other hand if you are comfortable with taht build then you can just add more on phys. defence b:pleased or are you more into damage?

    Reset and get rid of your DEX. add it to vit.
    get 5 more str for TT90
    add 3 mag, 2 vit every level.

    For most of the magic classes, it makes more sense to use shards or +hp gear than to stat for vit. Your best bet would likely be to put about half that vit into magic so that you can kill/heal better and rely on your damage, or a tank to make sure you aren't being hit too bad. Phys defense shards never add up enough to where they are more effective than hp + healing. If you're concerned about phys damage, you're either fighting the wrong things, or not using the right skills. Ideally, the only time phys defense should come into play is if you're fighting archers or bosses with a physical AoE.

    i saw a lot of magic classes using physc. shards even immaculate or flawless but i dont know how much that helps. i'm ususly looking to grind on magic mobs coz they much easier for me and i just hitten like 3k hp with shards and items . people said that its ok coz i needed mostly if i got rebirth too .

    Well a lot are using phs defense for the Rebirth Gamma- Final boss his AoE is Phys Attack. Also some of the Bosses in TT use phys attack AoE's so while some naysayers are quoting the use of purely hp shards why don't you try refining your amour to oh... +2 and enjoying 50 hp. See http://www.pwdatabase.com/pwi/ look up your gear and see what refining would do. Many miss this info and incorrectly give advice. I also recommend talking with a Clr not another class different classes benefit differently for their spec's... Personally I don't see an issue with 40 dex (that's 2% more crit aka 3% crit rate). As to your Vit yeah that sounds a bit high. You'd defiantly get more return from Refining your gear and Shards.
