I know what I want to do, but the question is crafting

I know I wanna ,ake a pure monolith forge guard melee but I don’t know what to craft. Is it just simply critical strike and fire damage? I think I should delete my armor and craft white armor normal idk. I’m in circle of fortune for solo play

I think you should play around in the LE builder page and work out what you want before just doing it in game since you’re not keen to follow a build guide to learn the basics

here you can select armor, then tinker with affixs on it, same with idols, weapons etc. You can check your char stats and how they scale and which one you want to make the best. You can also check out all the passives - specifically mention this because FG has a few for critical strike chance melee and 2 hander and also multipliers.
