You can go enough str to be able to wear heavy armor and rest into dex & vit. Or just wear Light armor and put all the extra points into dex.

Most people go 2 Dex 3 Str in odd levels and 2 Dex 2 Str 1 Vit on even levels b:victory
Skip the vitality for strength if you can afford to get the best HP shards and want to use Axes complimenting your level, otherwise you can always use a bit lower level axes for certain skills.

Also a good thing about fist BM skills are that you don't need any, fist mastery and level 1 in shadowless kick is enough. You can afford to raise some skills in *other weapon* AoE too for RB. Rest is your preference, have fun b:scorn

Edit: misread the comma placement.
my remark is rendered null and void.

Edit#2:
Also -_- Why does the 6x Barb Icon get 7x armor and mine is stuck with this blue ****?
Oh well... 4 more levels to go I guess.

the problem is that you don't always get a barb for these instances...

anyway if you're sure of what you're doing it's ok to have base vit. the problem is that every bit of survivability will come through item additionals and refining.

Yeah pumpkin, I do +2 str and +3 dex each lvl. Thinkin bout maybe doin +1 str and +4 dex though and wearin the light armour as suggested in here. Does str even make a difference in attk power?

tebo

just go 3 str 2 dex and wear heavy armor , **** geting extra dex for evasion as evasion isn't reliable on a BM

i did 3str and 7dex each 2 lvs on my bm lv56 was crasy dodgy and was very fun only played fist/bow bmb:dirty we al play as we wish i hope

tebo

but since he is on a pvp sever i wouldnt suggest a ton of dex and no vit as he would be food for magic classes and high lv phy mobs( 3/6 classes shoot undodgeable magic and high lv mobs dont miss much + if u plan on fighting heavy classes as a Bm u fail)

The only thing I have to add is max out cyclone heel when you can too. In the early levels you won't see a noticeable increase in attack speed, but at later levels you'll definitely notice the difference.

Quite the difference:

Stats from pwcalc.ru/pwi

HH60 fists (base vit, no eqs, fist mastery at lvl 7):

Min dex (120 - 7%), rest into str(185): 1089-1164 p-atk
Min str (96), rest into dex (209 - 11%): 830-904 p-atk

Evasion helps plenty. Go roll a dex BM and see for yourself. I dodge like crazy and I'm HA.
