Just wondering what max number of STR points I need to equip endgame light armor...

I'm asking because I want to start adding VIT when I get to the max STR points I need. Is this even a good idea? Just a thought b:cute

    Light armor nirvana gear needs 104 strength?

    But we do not know what will be released in the next expansion, and you might make other gear choices, and you can not wear nor even farm for nirvana gear until you are level 100.

    i sugest you dont put much vit, 20-40 at max, much vit will give you more hp, but will decrease your atack a lot, later in the game you will be able to reffine your gear to +3 easy and flawless citrine shards are easy to get too, that would give you enough hp to survive most of instances

    I say don't add vit at all. At your lvl, you should be able to kill most mobs before they could reach you (except for increased life and def). In instances, wait for barb to take aggro and attack carefully so you don't steal aggro. More attack is better on the long run. Let's say you get 500 extra HP but you can't kill the mob fast enough because you do less damage. Mob attacks you and bye-bye 500 HP. Better to improve damage and kill 'em ASAP, so they can't even get close.

    lol http://i56.tinypic.com/6psu2f.png

    with that build (note the attack level) i get by with only frost arrow or stunning arrow as an opener on level 70 "normal" mobs and will never get hit. Sometimes if my crits are lucky enough i don't get hit at all with no skills. My goal is to up the damage so i don't need to use mana at all when fighting single mobs - and still never get hit. Less mana pots used and less damage taken = lower costs = more profit from farming. With the new dq point system out, rank gear looks easier to obtain and I'll be getting my rank 4 armor soonish, and *gasp* actually doing dq on barb for the silver dragon orders for bracers of blood moon. Yeah.. its gonna result in lower defenses lol, but the damage output will go up b:dirty seriously.. has any non cash shopper ever gotten to -.3 interval on a 69 archer before??

    Str:Level + 4
    Dex:Everything else

    That's the most common build.

    Iv been told by some of the BEST archers on my server go with 4 Str more then level so if level 40 have 44 str can use all gear and able to use fists in higher levels.

    Vit im not sure archers get 12 HP per Vit but means less dex meaning less damage
    101 Blademaster(Pro/Fail 4.0 BM with 11k base HP+G16(+10))
    100 Seeker(The Vortex Beast)
    86 Assassin(Solo king)
    76 Archer(Squishy Nuker)
    72 Cleric(Horrible healer)
    67 Barb(Buff baby)
    61 Wizard(King Aoe)
    37 Mystic(Fun project)
