Barehand STR until what lvl?

[Isfrael]

<p>I asked in world chat what lvl i should keep using the STR/Barehand AA's and i got conflicting responses ranging from 45, to "i still go barehand in t8 raids".  It then degenerated into name calling lol.  I'm hoping to get some coherent responses on here.  I'm lvl 35, and have focused on the STR line and going barehand.  I'm wondering what lvl using 1hdW/2hb will start to out do the barehand skills.  As this is also my first fighter, i'm curious where i should go after the STR line for AA's.  I was thinking into Combo's on the Monk tree for the +dmg, but i'm only guessing. Any help is greatly appreciated.</p>

I would suggest going down the intelligence line next . at least until melee crits . then start into agilty to re use timers an keep the points split . or instead of agility you could go down the wis line a bit . just go with whichever tree suits your playstyle best . An have fun ) .

     Really depends on what level you want to start buying some matched delay mastercrafted weapons as to what level you should keep the str AA line and be a barehanded fighting machine.  Cheapest route is to wait till level 72 for your switchover, but you can be effective with mastercrafted at any level, and still stay with a barehanded look with the crafted fistwrap style weapons iirc.       In a way it comes down to how much plat you want to spend leveling up your character, how well do <b>you</b> make money, if you are generally short on funds str line is a great way to go, if plat is pouring out your ears then get the weapons.  There is a lot of argument over which is best.  What matters is what is more fun to you, and till about the mid 40's for me it was str line.    AA advice , avoid stamina line, once your stop going str line that just leaves int, wis, and agility lines and post 70 you can take 2 out of three to the end, each has thier devotees
