I was wondering the other night while waiting to fall asleep, is it possible to create a character that does not rely AT ALL on main stat ? With this I mean to buy and use items that don't have Strength at all on them if you are a Barb or no Dex at all if you are a Monk.

Can it be done?

You could be an all vit DH or Barb with thorns and farm lower MP's I think.

That was my call, too. Thorns is the only static damage that does not benefit from the main stat for damage as far as I know. Barbs can get up to 34k thorns damage per hit. It would be possible with enough patience to get through MP0 with enough +Life After Kill assuming you can skip Bosses and Elite Packs. You could also add the enormous Bleed Damage from an off-class Skorn.

I still prefer the schafers hammer. The damage is far understated.

I thought that damage was based on main stat multiplier. |

The base damage is static. It is affected by cc cd and main stat though.

It can be done, definitely on Normal and Nightmare difficulty level. Hell and Inferno, not sure! I am speaking this drawing my experience from Power Rushing 1-60 [Solo Mode, MP10]. The key is, without talking about budget constraints, get high DPS and high survival. 1) High DPS Get a high base high, don't worry about multiplier (i.e. skip primary) - Hellfire ring with avg dmg can be equipped right from level 1 - socket weapon with high level ruby, available earlier at lvl9 (Genzaniku), else lvl15 - High base DPS spectrum at lvl30 - High base DPS reduced level weapon al lvl42, this can last you through the whole of Nigthmare 2) High Survival - With high DPS which enables you to one-shot mobs, you only need some minimal vitality, so, just stack some vitality. At Inferno, prolly need lots of survival (AR, Armor) CC CD + LoH LS to crawl through! |
