Useful skills (put at least 1 point here):
Oak Sage, Summon Grizzly, Raven, Summon Dire Wolf and Summon Spirit Wolf.

Attributes

• Strength: Allows you to wear heavy weapons and armor, and increases the damage you deal with equipped weapon.
  • Around 120-130 points for equipping gear, max required STR is 156 (for Monarch shield).
• Dexterity: Affects Attack Rating (your chance to hit) and Defense Rating (monster’s chance to hit player with physical attack). It also increases chance to block, allows to equip certain weapons (javelins, daggers, claws, and ranged) and their damage.
  • None, not needed for gear or max block.
• Vitality: Increases the amount of Life and Stamina (yellow bar, energy for running) your character has.
  • All other points (350+), for extra Life points.
• Energy: Determines the amount of Mana your character has.
  • None, you’ll get enough mana from equipment.

Important Breakpoints

Breakpoints are the values at which spells, attacks and other animations become a frame faster or slower. Values must meet or exceed numbers to achieve that breakpoint or will cause no change until you meet or exceed the next breakpoint.

• Faster Cast Rate (FCR): 68% (12 Frames) or 99% (11 Frames)
• Increased Attack Speed (IAS): 0%
• Faster Hit Recovery (FHR): 29% (9 Frames) or 42% (8 Frames)
• Faster Block Rate (FBR): 0%

Equipment

Charms

Additional:
Grand Charms with +1 to Elemental Skills (extra stat as + to Life / Faster Hit Recovery is a great bonus)
Small Charms with Resistances (extra stat as + to Life / Faster Hit Recovery / Better Chance of Getting Magic Items is a great bonus)
Gheed’s Fortune (MF)

For swap weapon setup use Call To Arms Runeword Weapon with Spirit Runeword Shield for Battle Command and Battle Orders buffs, but don’t forget to recast them.

Mercenary

A player can hire NPCs as mercenaries to fight alongside them. Only one mercenary can be active at a time and hiring a new one results in the dismissal of the current one. Weapons (related to merc type), body armor, and headgear can be equipped on the mercenaries, and they become much more useful with proper gear.

Important note: Ethereal items (have better base stats, such as damage or defense and lower requirements) do not lose durability when equipped on a Mercenary, greatly boosting their stats.

Mercenary: Desert Mercenary (Act 2), Offense: Might Aura.

• Weapon
  • Best: Infinity Runeword (Ethereal Giant Thresher)
  • Alternatives: Insight Runeword (Ethereal Giant Thresher or any other Polearm for starter)
• Body Armor
  • Best: Fortitude Runeword (Ethereal Archon Plate)
  • Alternatives: Any armor with high Defense and Resistances/Life
• Helm
  • Best: Flickering Flame Runeword (Ethereal Bone Visage)
  • Alternatives: Any helm with high Defense, Life Stolen Per Hit and Resistances/Life
