Hmm. I've read lots of posts that suggest that you're likely in for trouble if you don't take certain magic skills and put points into int.
However, what about people wanting to play a more pure melee warrior build? Are they destined to be weak without putting points in skills and stats they generally would steer clear of (magic skills and the int stat)? A traditional warrior build would be pumping stat points into STR and VIT, leaving the INT pretty much alone, and selecting melee based combat skills as opposed to magic. Is that a really bad idea in this game?
That is good idea
Experiment
My second FAV character is my dual-wield warrior(light armors,I don"t like knights)
He put points in dex and vitality and STR to meet gear requiements
so at end of game I had
-30 STR(50 with gears)
-89 DEX
-56 vitality
Level 41
I had 75-90% for CRIT damage
