Things to add: you don't want to put anything more than 40 for your dex or most stats unless specific weapons/spells require them; scaling falls off dramatically after 40. If you're not sure where to go with your char, vitality and endurance are almost always useful unless they've hit 40. Never put any points into resistance.

High endurance is almost essential for most pvping. With high endurance comes the ability to wear heavier armor. The Elite Knight set has fairly low weight but pretty good defenses when upgraded.
