Fist questions

This is my first bm and I've decided to go fist and I have a couple of questions:

1.What are the advantages to being a fist bm? I hear people talking about how good they are endgame but they never mention how lol, just how much they suck early and mid-game.

2.What type of ornaments should I wear, elemental necklaces and belts or evasion?

3.What are some recommended genie skills for fist users? (so far I have blinding sand, planing on getting wind shield and holy path. I don't know what to get for my 4th skill yet, probably relentless courage for more attack speed or extreme poison unless there's a better one for me to get)

4.I'm lvl.20 now and all I have is 15 vit, I need to put points into str to wear my heavy armor and dex for fist so I don't have a lot of spare points. Is this enough for my lvl or do I have too little or too much vit?

5.This is my first bm, is there anything that I should know that most new bms might overlook?

6.Any tips for being a fist bm? (actual tips please not answers like: "switch to axes or spears cause fists suck" I'm well aware of the disadvantages to being a fist bm)

(I wanted to be fist since no one else really does it, so I don't plan on switching to axes or spears.)

    1. At very high lvls, with gear that has the "-interval mod" and their skills that increase attack speed, they will be able to attain real high attack speeds, meaning great damage over time.

    2. As dodge is only useful against physical attackers, and your main problems will be against magic attacks, I'd prefer the magic defense ornaments. I personally use physical defense ornaments now, as fist users have the ability to cancel magical attacks quite easily.

    3. I don't use a genie so can't help you there :)

    4. you will only be able to spare about 1 point for vit every 2 lvls, but this won't really be a problem if you try aiming for gear with +HP mods, especially once you get the skill that heals you at lvl 29.

    5. Use your marrows (especially the physical one is great). Make sure to stun aggressive archer mobs as soon as possible. If you are standing next to them when they wake up, they won't run off and will hit you at half damage as you are in close range to them. Also use your stun to cancel magic attacks.

    6. Weapons with sockets / +phys attack are great, same as rings with +phys atk. They will boost your damage more than they would other weapons relatively speaking.
