i use pure str, with only the level one imbue and the passive skill in that tree so far. for blade skills i have the chain series and 1 level in the knockdown and 1 in the one below that(the other lvl 19 one). i also grabbed lightning for the speed buff. it works pretty well for me.

I got pretty much the same skills as Geobot but I'm almost pure Int. Aiming to be Ice+Force sword user with some lightning skills. I keep imbue at max so that magic attacks stay effective.

Healer skills will be my main focus in the long run as I want to keep the tank persons alive while I keep some other mobs away from tanks. With healing skills I don't have to use HP pots unless I get attacked 3-4 monster at the same time. I can let my health (about 1000) drop to half before using my heal skill (not the first heal, the one with target requirement) as my heal skill heals over 500+ points.

Knockdown for giants/champions if you got to tank them by yourself. I've also picked Lion Shout from lightning as it helps in killing faster group of monsters that have swarmed around you. Hopefully some nukes in the later game to mass freeze monsters/players

My first character is somewhat experimental as I'm not that familiar yet with all the skills so I probably make some mistakes with skill selections. Luckily you can correct them with curst hearts + pile of golds.

Get high block ratio shield, it helps a lot. I have +17 block +2 shield and it has saved my life several times :wink:
