    6 str 4 dex every 2 levels is the all weapon build, and is the current popular build for new fisters. With that set up, you can use any weapon at level, and also deal the most damage per second for a fister. survivability hasn't been an issue, once you hit lvl 29 and get your self heal it's pretty easy. Will need mold gear decently sharded with health, and health/pdef adds on any other gear.

    for example when i reach lvl 90 if i keep going the path 6/3/1
    the use of a lvl 80 nice fists is a good choice ?
    or should i stick with 6/4 from level one to be good all arround ?

    Go axes if you want to pvp, learn to stunlock thats your job. If you want fists to take down the barbs pulling 3 str 2 dex every level to use decent fists but axes should still be your main path. Especially when you get to there crystal they start to panic and charge at you after spawn and you aoe em all bwahaha!

    @ Beton yes the lack of vit is fine unless you do rb in pve settings where a bm needs high hp or the squads boo's them b:chuckle Even then you can get a ton of hp from shards.

    I'd suggest setting a vit cap for earlier levels and go with 6/4 once you hit the cap. Personally I capped my vit at 40 but it's really up to personal preference. What I did was for every 5 vit, I tried to see if I could survive well enough without anymore vit, and capped it at 40 after having grinded about 500 mobs without use of single HP pot.

    Personally I only use axes to stun (nearly maxed Drake's Bash) and then punch them to death while stunned. Occasionally I use Heaven's Flame to amplify damage for other party members but other than that I haven't paid any attention to axes.

    Even rebirth was no problem doing 0 vit build, gamma anyways. Haven't gotten into Delta yet, likely will in the next few weeks since the internet connection is much better where I'm vacationing.

    But from 75+, easily did the BM role for Gamma even while taking hits. Also successfully tanked the WHOLE double wave in my low 8X range, again with no problem. You just need to know what you're doing, and not stand in one place trying to tank like a barb. Roar gives you their aggro, hit an AoE (Myriad) then run out of their range while charm recharges. Head back in and hit an AoE or two, then back out. Mobs should be dieing by then, so you can look to staying in and surviving the next time in. Stun first anyways, and then start killing. No team mate's health dropped, and I didn't die as 0 vit. Barb got there when the mobs were almost all dead.

    So vit isn't as important in PvE as people would have you believe. But I did have a nice set of mold legs and chest, with health/pdef adds on all my other equipment. Health gets more importance, as you will have increased phys def aura going when it will matter.

    Tbh, 1 vit wont make a massive difference. Still, if you added 1 vit per 2 levels all the way to 90, you're talking +675hp (more with barb buff). Up to you whether losing that amount means much to you.
