Need Help with New Character

[inswain]

Hello all!

So I started a swordswman and have 2 quick questions regarding stats and armor

Firstly, for a standard build swordsman, what stats do I want? 100 str, ?? dex, ?? int

Second, what type of armor do I want to wear? (assuming they are all of the same quality) Do I want full plate, mix of plate and chain, mix of chain and ring, mix of all, etc?

Thanks for the help!

In case it helps, my planned skills 100 swords, 100 tactics, 100 anat, 100 healing, 100 resist, 100 parry, 50 hiding, 50 magery,

Strictly PvM or PvP as well?

If strictly PvM then 100 str/100 dex/25 magery

If you want to be balanced in both PvM and PvP, something like 100 str/85 dex/40 int is good, as the Int will help with emergency heals, cures, magic reflect, protection, recalls, and if you come across a red mage, the mindblast won't hurt as much.

Armor wise, whatever you want to wear. Plate will give more def (standard non magical) than all...but will effect your dex. Most dex suits are -5 dex and are chain shirt, legs, plate gorget, ring gloves, ring arms, and a helm (somewhere around there).
