Stats

[Archabalds]

What should look like swordsman stats?

[DaHobbit]

Your first consideration would be your DEX. If you are fighting a monster with a DEX of 20, you want your DEX set at 26 (always +6 of the monster you fight). Once that is set, you should be able to put all the rest in STR. Points in ARM will give you more protection than STR, but points in STR may give you just enough. Therefore, try first all in STR, but equip yourself with the best gear. That should give you a very good chance to fight what you are after. You can always return to the start map and reset your stats if you need to tweak the numbers a bit, but that should give you a good start.

I totally agree with hobbit but I need to add a little something. After you set your dex +6 of monster dex you have two options. Put rest in STR or ARM. Putting points in ARM will not reduce dmg you take from that monster. Because your dex is +6 monsters can hit you only via critical hit which dmg is not reduced by armor. The only thing it gives you is more HP than strength does. Strength gives you less HP but it's increasing your dmg thus make you kill monster faster and gain experience faster. I'd say put all the rest in STR if your not using your pets to kill monsters.
