Not long ago, I was pmed with a similar question.. So I will just copy and paste the extensive answer I gave them. You are welcome to reply if you have any questions!
Some Notes before the build instructions:
*I don't ever really care about individual stats (str, foc, vit, dex), so most of my advice will be in the "secondary stats" catagory (hp, mp, defense, attack, dmg)
*I am a HUGE proponent for borrowing items. Don't feel bad about it and don't feel shy. If you can borrow a set of Radiant Earthstone Pants, DO IT!!!
For this build you will need roughly 2000 health, 300 defense (more is better, but don't go too overload), and Four fully-maxed skills (Lightning Strike, Strangling Vines, Storm Touch, Howling Wind, extras in Nature's Touch).
First, I would sort out your gear. You want the maximum amount of Defense and HP that you can get through gear, along with being able to use skill-boosting rings.
- If you have/get any defense-adding Frosthelms (greater is best, but normal is fine) or Frostboots (there is a wind/storm pair that is REALLY nice), GET THEM!!
- If you can't get ahold of a defense-adding frosthelm, then find an icedragon helm (royal has a lvl 160 requirement) for when you are of the level req. Until then though, try borrowing a greater or radiant Earthstone Helm for the hp/energy boosts.. or the Radiant Boots (250 defense and health). Or pants for that matter.
- Unless you have aggy bracelets, try to find Riftskull bracelets that add to Vit and Dex (FOC/DEX works to if VIT/DEX isn't availible). You could probably borrow/have them for free.
-This doesn't apply to you yet, at level 160 start hunting for riftskulls if you have no aggy bracelets.-
- Use either a sunsharddefense necklace, or an icecrystal pendent for the necklace. For a charm, try to get one that adds to either spiritseed or shrivewood, or a foc/defense from the last halloween event (majestic+).
-If you can get a shrivewood ring, use it! It adds a nice defense boost. Other than that, try to find +4 or +5 rings in Strike, Vines, Storm, and Wind. The idea is that you want those four skills to be as high leveled as possible, so you will be placing lots of points into them.
Stats and Stuff:
So once you get your gear sorted out (prioritizing defense and skill points), check your stats: if your defense is higher than 550, then perhaps tone it down a bit if you can sacrifice defense for better gear (so if you using a shirve ring instead of a grand strike, switch them.). If your defense is lower than 300, then subtract the current from 300, divide it by 2, and increase your dex by that amount:
If your stats show 140 defense, then you do: 300-140 = 160 160/2 = 80 Increase dex by 80!
Once dex and defense is sorted out, then comes health. Increase your VIT by increments of 30 until you start getting close to your 2000 HP goal. If you go over, that's fine!
After health is set, place in all but 100 stat points in FOCUS. After this you should have 2k health, 400 defense, all four main skills at level 30+, and 100 stat points left over.
Once all this is done, go do one elix (with the unaligned 100 stat points). Use a totem in the mainhand, and an axe in the offhand. Take the mobs ONE AT A TIME!!!, and cast winds, strike, vines, and use storm if you think you have enough energy. During solo elixing, I HIGHLY reccomend using a Heroic Energy Elixir. It is a total game-changer, and are usually very cheap.
After the first elix with your new build, access it! If you think you need more health, then place the remaining stat points in VIT. If you need more defense, place 50 in dex and then rest in foc. If you like it how it is, then load up your focus with more points.
Enjoy, and Happy Healing
