You may need to invest some points into Vitality, at least until you get it up to about 20, or so.

With skills for my warrior in D2:ED, I went with Dual Wielding 13, Bleed 10, Evade 1, Rush Attack 1 (had it up to 4 before the battle tower) and Whirlwind 1. Support skills included Mana Efficiency 5, Healing 1, Mana Leech 1 (probably not necessary) and Life Leech 1. I had a couple levels of Regenerate before the Hall of Echoes, but didn't relearn it when I reskilled.

Wisdom is ok, but is not going to have a huge impact on your ending level. In D2:ED I collected equipment with Wisdom bonuses (to use when turning in quests) and put a few skill points in myself, but just used equipment bonuses when I started a new character in DKS.


Character Optimization

So: warrior, mage or archer?


The following is a DKS topic, but there are not a lot of differences in a warrior build between D2:ED and DKS (some of the skills were modified a bit).

Anyone help a newb with Warrior build ... ???
