well my build is 2str/3dex with light armor b:laugh hoping it would turn out to be a good build but maybe not bcuz of the low hp

I don't have the time to calculate exact numbers, but it seems like this would give you roughly the same base evasion as a "pure-DEX" archer (since BM gets more evasion points per DEX point). It would possibly be a little less. It would certainly be less evasion than an archer's with their 30 minute buff up. When mobs get close enough to my archer, he takes hits pretty frequently, but he gets a lot of misses too (usually 1/4 of the attacks evaded if the info on the heads-up is to be believed). I'm going to guess that this build would raise your evade chance by at least 15%. I think that roughly equates to the difference between base damage resistance of heavy and light armor. You would want to check those assumptions as well as the effect of Bell on the difference (it might go either way), but this looks like it might not be as crazy as it seems.

Some things to consider:
1) your evasion chance will have streaks where it fails (and ones where it works more often too), so your survivability against physical attacks will be more random than most BMs.

2) your choice of one more point than equipment requires into STR may be costing you. It will give you a bit more damage and a tiny improvement in HP at some cost to your crit and evasion rates (if it went into DEX instead). Usually, if you are going to try to get an advantage by loading an unusual stat, you have to go all out. On the other hand, VIT might be a better use of this point - particularly in the early levels and also because you have to count on some bad luck with misses.

Good luck and have fun with it.

5 STR | 4 DEX | 1 VIT every two levels is pretty much the best you can go for pure Fist user, other than that 6 STR | 4 DEX is another build, but you maybe / maybe not will find problems with it.

ok from what i seen u will want to keep vit realy low keep your str to wepon and armor req. rest in dex. as well as have both heavy and la restat at 8x or so. what the la dose is alow u to have more mdef wile u have low hp. im not a fan of fists but OUT OF EVERY CLASS a warrior gets the most eva per dex so as a fist str dose nothing u dont deal damage at all but u crit left and right and hit realy fast so it evens it out id not advise going fist tell 9x if u plan on going hell id do a full reset from axe or something axe is the best way to lvl aoeing is amazing but yea u dont need a gide man look at the req for the wep u want the armor u want base your stats off of that to the min then add dex dex dex

OW MY EYES. Run-on sentence ;(.

Yeah fist is 5str/4dex/1vit or 5str/5dex you chose. get 52 str by lvl 20 and then add 5 every even level(or else you wont have the right str)

Fist is good for fun, and pretty good 1v1, but u will not be able to PvE well at all and you have to deal with hitting 100s on your level @ lvl 45(including mages)

I wouldnt suggest going fist, If u want a good build with fast attacks and high dex, go fist-build sword BM. its 5str/4dex/1vit(cap vit@ 30), You use a single sword(or blade)((With higher dex, you would rather have more crits than a little higher dmg(with same DPS). if u want high sword dmg, go 2x blade with (I think) 6 str/3dex/1 free.

As a fist BM, you will get hell ALL THE TIME. Just like lvl 4x LA mage >.< You won't level fast and you wont rlly be wanted in grinding groups. Fist is a tough class, much like the LA Bow barb >.<
