All this discussion is well and good about Sta and Dex. But I have played every class on here, several times on some lol, and unless you are hell bent on raiding end game the best stat is Strength for most classes.
Because if you solo or group not being able to wear all your Plate gear as a Melee type or being able as a Necro to carry crap weapons for your pet, and not being able to loot even crap gear to sell for copper sucks totally
Looting is the only way you can make plat in this game and not being able to carry 3 Bear hides and a few Fine Steel weapons around for a bit until you find a vender blows. Imagine going to City of Mist with all the great gear there as a Enchanter with 75 Strength and looting for hours on end to buy new spells with the loot. Good luck with that happing with putiing all your stats in Sta and Int.
There is not too much good Strength geat for Casters in this game. And unless you choose a Large race for Melee classes most suck at base strength also.
I always put some stats in Sta also but most in strength and some in wis and int for casters. Being emcumbered just totaly sucks. And the average person on here is never going to be able to afford 4 100% Weight Reduction bags. Ain't happining.
