Well I'm not entirely sure how I'm going to invest points. At the moment I'm just kind of playing it by ear. I'm thinking I'll probably get my strength up to about 90. That will give me enough to wear the herald if I find it. I don't usually like to rely on items pumping strength too much, especially with not having any items and not trading. So I figure 90 should get me to a point where I can at least adjust to the drops I do get.
I'm also probably going to put about 50 into energy. I know that hammers don't cost that much, but I feel better having some in it. Also, as with strength, I don't know what items I will find so I might not get good mana items. 50 should at least give me a good amount to work with.
Dex I'm really unsure of. I'm seriously considering taking about 10 points out of a synergy and putting it into holy shield. That will raise my defense and my blocking a good bit. Then later I can try to put the points back into the synergy. I don't know if I will so that or not. I might settle for 5 points, or I might even settle for the 1 I have in it now. Alot depends on what skill items I find and such. So far I haven't put any points in dex. I've only just gotten to act 3 normal though. I know I will put some in it eventuakky, but I don't know how much or when.
Since my character is hardcore I have been putting points into vitality right now. It might be tough to balance 90 strength, 50 energy, lots of life and a good amount of dex. So I don't really know whats going to happen there. As I said, I'm just kind of playing that by ear.
