You really shouldn't put multiple points into curses. Put one point into every curse you plan to use. Later in the game, you will find items that boost the level of your curses. These items are called "plus skill items". They will bring your curses to a more than high enough level. One point into amplify damage has always been enough for duration for me. If amp's duration ever runs out because you are fighting a boss or something, then just recast it. It's as simple as that. There really isn't any effort involved with recasting it. As for area of effect. Why waste skill points to double the area of effect of a curse when there is no effort casting a low level curse twice to get the same effect?

Plugy will not work for online characters and you shouldn't use it even if it did work for online characters. If blizzard detects you using a cheat or hack like Plugy, then they will ban you.

The builds you saw in the other forum are probably the best builds and you need the best builds in order to pvp. But if you just want to fight monsters and bosses, then you can build anyway you want.

Dodge and evade do not stack. Dodge helps you to move out of the way of an attack when you are standing still. Evade helps you to move out of the way when walking/running. You can't be standing still and running at the same time.

Dex will affect the damage of Amazon only spears.

Bosses will only drop their best loot the first time you kill them.

Don't put too many points into passives. Low levels might give +6% chance to dodge, but higher levels will only give +1% or sometimes +0% thus wasting a skill point all together.

What you should do with your stats is put the minimum points into strength and dexterity required to wear your gear. Then, put the rest into vitality. Sorceresses who use energy shield are the only character who needs to put points into energy.

Edit: If you will be using a shield, then you will need more dex than your gear requires in order to get the maximum block rate. The best shield in the game will require 222 dex to reach the maximum block rate on amazons, assassins, and barbarians, 237 for necros, druids, and sorceress, and 208 for paladins.
