1)STATS - What should i add ? Can i just go for STR n Vitality ? You can, but your magic and ranged defense might be lacking in the end. 2)SKILLS - Would i have enough skill points? Can i max out all the skills i want? Suggestion on wat to learn plz (Anyone recomand to learn LOCKPICK ?) You can easily max out 2 or 3 combat skills, and put points in a few others. Lockpicking is not necessary, but if like me you hate not beeing able to open all chests, put points in it  3)POTS - Only can be obtained from NPC ? (quite limited) How i do Alchemist anways? You can't become an Alchemist. There is one (hidden) in the town in broken valley, and later on one in your tower. 4)Mind Reading - This costs EXP , will monsters keep spawning out even after i kill it? IF not how i cover up for the EXP lost due to this skill ? The XP you get depens on level difference between you and mobs. So once you get to lvl6-7, you can mindread everyone, the debt should be covered up quickly. There is no respawn of monster (unless in a few places in FoV). 5)Style of Combat - Should i go for Sword n Shield ? Is 2handed weap any good ? Depends on what you like. I love 2 handed weapons, as it's good AOE damage. 6)Combat - not having a hard time since well im a Warrior its rather tank n do decent damage but im actually just tanking all the enemy damge is this a proper way of fighting in the game? Any suggestion or advice ? Dodge. And dodge again before smashing the ennemy in the face. You can dodge most ranged attacks if you time it well. And having a ghost is great, as he can heal you.

1)How do u suggest i add my stats then ?
I don't know. I do put points in everything, so I always have mana for my attacks, and a good defense against everything. Put more points in Strength and Vitality, and much less in the stat that just adds mana points. The stat that adds in magic resistance (Intelligence ?) also adds in magic damage (from weapons).
2)Any suggestions on wat skills should i MAX out for Warrior ?
Whirlwind, Leap, one weapon skill (2 handed in your case I guess ?). Until you can leech life from attacks, maxing out Ghost is usefull (you can reset your skill points once you get your battle tower).
3)Are POTS the only way to heal can VIT help at all? N is there Blacksmith beside Alchemist?
Potions and food, yes. With many points in Vitality and Strength, you should get health points back much more quickly. Try finding health leech weapons, with a two-handed sword, as you do AoE, you get HP quickly. Once you get to the point where you have 50% chance of leeching 50% damage (so 25% of dealt damage), health becomes a non-issue, if you keep some potions just in case.
4)There's a mind reading skill if i MAX it out will i still cost EXP ?
At 15 mindreading is free. Personally I prefer putting those points in attack skills, or ghost, or whatever else.

Mostly for your own interest (excepting the likes of skill books, listed under "consumables", and various quest items). They're often worth reading, though: some are very amusing.

In the starting section of Broken Valley you can find a necromancer who can create a creature out of body parts you collect (he has weaker basic parts if you don't find one of everything: head, torso, arms, legs). You will not be able to actually summon the creature until you complete a quest for the necromancer, which requires access to the rest of Broken Valley (and are about level 12, or so). Gems and ore are used as enchantment ingredients. The first enchanter is to the far west once you have access to the main section of Broken Valley and then north. Malachite gems are rare; anything else can be easily replaced once you have the battle tower, about half way through the game. There is a chart near the end of the topic Gamestar Review-Box Translation from GameStar.de with various CPU/GPU/RAM options, and how they would expect the game to run on that system (see the reply for a translation). This is a little out of date, as updates from the second German patch are included in other more recent releases, which improved some graphics quality (among other things) and added additional graphics options. It looks like your graphics card is the bottleneck, but is should run fine at "1280x720 with medium Details, all Effects activated, no Plant rendering".

Basically, a 'bottleneck' is the slowest component of a system. The neck of a bottle is generally the narrowest part, so that limits how fast it is to pour anything in to (or out of) it. With computers the situation can change depending on what application you are using, since some programs place more emphasis on the video card, and some are more CPU or memory intensive.
In this case, I don't know which model CPU you have, but the 3 Core 2 Quad CPUs listed in the chart are all good enough to play the game on high details. Similarly, anything over 3GB is listed as good enough for high details. Originally I assumed, based on the model number, your video card was closer to the 3850/4670/3860 ones that were listed in the chart than the 2600 Pro/XT cards, but a quick web search indicates the 4350 may be worse for gaming than the 2600. This means, according to GameStar.de and neglecting optimizations made to D2:ED later, they would expect the game to run smoothly at 1024x786, with minimum Details, no Shadows and no Post-Processing.
A new hard drive may speed up load times, and more memory or a faster CPU may help a bit with games, but with your system a new video card would probably give you the greatest boost in performance. That makes your video card a bottleneck (at least for gaming).

Cool i learn a new word lol
Well yeah i read it up online they even stated that 4350 its not use for gaming actually shockingly the 3850 its even better lol i really dont noe how they define the graphic cards i thought was by the model numbers higher = better
Well the reason is because i dont build this com , i buy it as a " package " , so this graphic card its actually u can consider it those " chipset " but its not on the motherboard its still like other graphic cards slot in PCI-E 2.0 i think its called?

The first digit in the model number is the generation, so the 4th generation is newer and generally more efficient than the 2nd and 3rd generation cards, but with the variation in memory and configurations just being newer isn't enough to make it better than previous cards. A vehicle made in 2010 is generally going to be using as good or better technology than one made in 2005, but a low end 2010 car is not going to out perform a mid or high end 2005 car.
The next 3 digits give the relative ranking of video cards, so the 4350 is ranked lower than the 2600 or 3850.

O i finally get it , since u put it this way its very logical and simple , lol i dont noe well about computer but when coming to cars ur speaking my language , but 1 thing , the memory of the graphic card y some like 1 GB but still some only 512 MB can own it? Because the ver its better for the 512 MB ?
N is it that the overclock higher = better ?

There are different types of memory used by video cards; DDR is slower but cheaper, while GDR is faster, designed specifically as graphics memory and more expensive (and of course there are different speeds with each type, etc). Even with a memory intensive program, a card with 512MB of fast memory can out perform one with 1GB of slower memory.
Another factor is how much memory an application can actually take advantage of. If a game engine is using less than 512MB of video memory most of the time, having a card with 1GB of memory would not help performance very much.

Thank you Anyway, when I say "keep it high" I mean to spend much Skill Points on the ability Itself...those skills have to be at least at 5/6, the other at 2/3... I suggest to complete the Quest: A Hunt We Shall Go BEFORE leaving Broken Valley...you'll get Jurak's Armor, a very good Armor (the mission can be completed even after leaving Broken Valley, but do it before killing Lord Laiken) Abot the level, I reached the 35° with the Mage, but I know that some people have reached Level 45 *_* There's no Blacksmithing, only Weapon/armor enchantment

In D2:ED the maximum level a couple people got to was 37, with 35 or 36 being more common. Taking advantage of a couple respawn locations, it is possible to get to level 40 or higher. IIRC one of the Larians mentioned the technical level cap was 60, but you'd need to use a trainer or something to reach it.
I boosted Whirlwind and Rush Attack a bit earlier in the game, but after reskilling when I got the battle tower, I only re-learned them to level 1. I tried Battle Rage once (and it did help), but I don't tend to use temporary boosts (potions or skills) unless I'm really having trouble with a particular battle, so didn't bother re-learning it.
I found low levels of Life Leech and Regenerate were good enough (especially with plentiful potions and level 1 of the healing spell), but if you've got the skill points to spare...
I maxed Mana Efficiency (level 5) since it cut the mana requirement to summon my creature, which meant I could summon it for a tough fight and still have enough mana left over to use the healing spell, or something.
Early in the game I used equipment with Wisdom bonuses, and later put points in myself, but I don't know if I'll bother with that when DKS comes out here.

So that's why my creature summon didn't cost me half my mana anymore. I thought that was a patch-thing.
