Not to be contrarian or anything, but dex before 45 isn't outright useless. My warrior wore limited dex gear that didn't sacrifice too much until he got his combat skills maxed each time he gained a level. It's cheap and easy to armor up well beyond any useful value for AC at low levels here. I liked to carry +dex pieces to maximize fun when I got opportunities to 'zerk duo with a shaman while levelling up, just keep high AC/HP value items equipped in the slots you can't get +dex/+str. It is possible to have fun times even before you raid with a char. "Grind" is as much a state of mind as anything else, go ahead and reject that ugly Debbie Downer worldview, it's a game, play it and have some fun.
