Use Monk's set. Even if it's not fully upgraded, Tempest Rage would make fights a bit easier. Since you have root you can cheese the game a bit by backing up your progress and then trying to get a solid enchantment on your current weapon (like Time Bomb, Lifesteal or Bleeding).

Chapter 1 is basically supposed to be a filler. The "Revelation" at the end is the only highlight so don't bother buying any new set of equipment. You'll level up and get better stuff pretty soon.
