    1. Fist's have higher damage then any weapon in the game except daggers of course.

    2. I was pure fist like a super long time ago. I used 1 vit, 2 str, 2 dex. It worked great for me.

    Were you LA, or did you wear lower level HA armour, or did you find enough +STR gear? O.o

    Imo, pure fist fails as much as pure axe. A lot. You should go for all weapons, really. Fist skills only 1 needs to be leveled, so you have a lot of spirit left for axe skills.
    Feel free to PM me for help.

    Fists have the lowest dmg per hit of any weapon in the game, but thanks to their high attack speed it averages out with every other weapon for damage. Also, because attack speed grows exponentially and fist have the highest base attack speed of any weapon they gain the most from -int. Once your have multiple amounts of -interval gear fist are the highest damage per second weapon for BMs.

    "Pure Fist" isn't really recommended because your miss out on alot of valuable BM skills, especially the axe path.

    There are two ways to go "pure fist", one is max damage and the other is max vitality. Max vitality build is 2.5 strength for HA, and 2 dex for fist, with .5 vitality, (5 str, 4 dex, 1 vit every two levels). Ideally its minimum strength for HA and minimum dex for fists with your gear on, rest into vitality, but since you can't count on constantly having +strength and dex gear its easier just to add it with stats. Archsabers build works just fine for maxing vitality but you need .5 strength from gear every level to continue to wear HA.

    The other way to go "pure fist" is max damage. This is base vitality, 3 strength for HA and more damage, and 2 dex per level for fist. This is the recommended path. The reason is adding to vitality is nice for comfort, but not needed, and killing things faster is usually better than killing slower but taking more damage. 3 strength and 2 dex will allow you to use any weapon, including axes. The ideal is capping your dex on a multiple of 20 (inlcuding gear) and adding as much to strength as you can.



    Remember, being able to HF for 6 people is much better than pounding away by yourself. Also, pure fist miss out on aoe grinding. They miss out on multiple ranged attacks. They miss out on knockbacks. Cyclone and Drake have decent range but its less than the axe aoes, which are nice for grabbing aggro on mobs so the cleric can heal you without getting heal aggro.
