Celtic Heroes

Ok I didn't really want to ask with all the other "how's my build" posts but I'm curious as to if I'm missing out on something. Ill post all my stats and what I'm thinking as well. I'm looking for a good hybrid mix of dps and survival ability. I usually lvl with a high lvl fire mage with max assassins lure and very rarely a Druid. Hence my need to "tank".

Lvl 172 atm

Here are stats including bonuses
Str 317
Dex 420
Focus 30
Vit 420

Attack 2880
Defense 840 (1785 with fast reflexes)
Dmg 1085
Armour 522

Equip
ANC beast cowl
ANC wyrm top and bottom
Dl gloves and boots
Dag of bounty
Wyrmbone dagger
Hero ammy and camo charm
Rings are skill rings

Skills
Fast reflex 35-35
Quick 40-35
Life steal 43-35 (can sometimes get 900-100 hp)
Shadow 40-35
Rip 35-35
Expose 7-35

So I guess my question is I've been thinking of trying the ammy of anilhilation, fire axe and fire helm for more dmg but I would lose all my regens. That's a lot of gold to drop to test lol. So is it really that much better dps that I will kill quicker? Basically am I missing out on something obvious. Thx for any input.

Ok for a good lvling build solo with no restored i would suggest this:
Stats:
300 str
300 dex
Rest vit

Skills:
Max shadow
Max quick
Max riposte
Max life steal
Rest in fast reflexes

Ps: the stats should be the plain white stats, not with any bonuses.

Ditch the beastbone when you boss, wear full frozen until you have enough dl to make up for the set bonus (when bossing)

I would also ditch the wyrm dagger, you are better off using frozen imo because of the speed and divine dmg proc that is very useful if you level on the 180 3* bolgs in snorri pit.


Damage neck is a must, however I would use dagger of bounty for the poison (unresisted) pierce (multiplies) and regen for skills
