I have been playing an entropic mage until chunk #2.

But now I'd like to get into melee. I don't have patience for slow moving brutes. So I'd like to play something really fast and agile.

Does anybody out there have any suggestions on:
- Attributes; I'd like one main and a balance of the rest.
- Skills; Any way to balance shadow and poison?
- Armor; What stats should I look for?
- Weapons; Should I look for more crits or pure speed?

HIgh end and high agil with some int get two one handed fast weapons with %critical and high end armor then you'll be set for armor, skills well you can play around with em, but I use you'r regular melee warrior passive's with a ward according to the mobs im fighting and always use ring of fire, and i like the divine accendance buff with the one handed buff and a hard headed buff. and i kick butt...

Hate to say it but check out my build guides in the player guide & in my signature. Best advice I've got for ya.

I'm by no means a professional fighter, but if you're going for a speedy crit build, I would put the speed over crit. The logic is fairly simple. With the 3% base crit chance, even 400% crit chance still means you get a crit about 15% of the time. I would happily trade 5% of that in order to hit twice as often as you would still get more total crits. Some rainbow weapons you might want to look into include Axiom, Excecutioner, or skulliosis (reccomended). The build seems to have alot of success with abby when combined with molten armor.

Now when you say "slow moving brutes" are you implying MOVEMENT or ATTACK speed?
