BM Build

Is it true that 3str and 2 Dex is the best build or is it 3str 1vit and 1dex?

3 2 is a good start but it really depends on your end game build and gear. i would sugest do that and restat later to suit your needs.

Axes require 3 str and .5 dex per level to wear them.
Fist require 1.5 str and 2 dex per level to wear.

If you want to wear both and use all your weapons for max damage and survivability then you will need 3 str and 2 dex per level. You can get some of this from gear, but the simplest way to level without planning each gear piece in advanced to make sure you have the correct stats is stat 3/2.

You can easily get away with 40 or so vit points if you really want, but endgame you'll restat them out anyways into a max strength and 200 dex build. You'll get your hp from refines and shards, but you may have to learn to play defensively for a while.

Some friends have made pure axe bm for tw purposes only. Their str is higher, but dex is lower. I was following a pole and axe build only while leveling, until lvl 70, when i restated to wear fists.

There is no such thing as best build. Different people feel comfortable with different things. Most of us at endgame restat based on gear, and personal preferences. As Sakubatou said, there are about 40 points left over. Some put it in str, others in dex, some in vit. You still find the rare dying bm that has it in magic (don't ask, don't tell). Basically the idea is to have enough str, dex to wear the gear you want. The left over points are for you to decide.

Some people find themselves squishy so they go vit. Others like more crit, go dex, some like more damage go str. I am guessing, some like to aoe, delta and go magic b:shutup.

And with 3 str every lvl, and Heavy armor, your hp may suffer a bit, but your phys def grow quite high,
did a restat my self due to a fail build, restat to a 3 str 2 dex build, at lvl 75 with TT70 armor, phys def is +5000 - good for a melee class

Niteshadows - Harshlands

Str is used to wear the weapons your level, so is dex. But back to the point I was trying to make, Bms do damage through str not dex. So your best bet for the full effectiveness of any path would be 3 str and 2 dex.

Edit: Every level that is.
