Soldier Stat Spread.

[Fried_Chickens]

What's a good spread for Soldier? physique and half as much cunning? how much spirit? advice would be most welcome.

Most builds use almost all stats in physique. Spirit just enough to wear jewelry. Cunning is mostly used for physical damage builds but rarely cause cunning and spirit doesnt give much, only to wear gear.

Mmmmh I ll try to answer your question by telling you how my thought process is on that matter.

First of all, I m a Hardcore player, so, I m going for defense build almost everytime.
So, basically, all my builds will be Soldier + Something.
Why do i chose Soldier ? Because of shield ... in my opinion, shield is the most powerful tool to mitigate damage received.
Now to answer ur question about Stats, I ll almost always put most of my stat points into Strength in order to have the most HP possible. I ll just put enuf Spirit and Cunning point to wield my end-game weapons, amulet and rings.

My thought process here is... Cunning or Spirit do not give (IMO) enough damage bonus to be heavily invested in. Just remember that I m a HC player. So I go for survivability first.

Maybe, you should precise your question a little bit if you want a more accurate answer :)

It's the same for all classes... all possible points into physique and just enough into cunning and spirit to meet gear requirements.

The reason being that physique = defense rating = not getting crit = not being oneshot late game.
