Thank you very much. I really appreciate the explanation. I thought I'd better ask now than make an uninformed decision and regret it later. Here is what my stat line looks at at the moment :)

Strength- 40
Defence- 20
Speed- 50
Dexterity- 70
Resistance- 20

Basically going dex tank in this so lots of dodging but if/WHEN I take a hit it is gunna suck balls. Combos and crits will be the order of the day on the offense.
