New WAR, where to put beginning stats?

Solb · #1 02-10-2014, 11:04 AM

I realize an ogre is best tanking race, I don't like their size or appearance though. So, I am thinking of making a human warrior. Where should I put my beginning points? In the end, will STA/STR gear be easy to stack stats, thus, should I consider putting points into DEX? Thanks for any input!

Doesn't matter too much really imo, but don't max str, as you mention you will get that from gear easy. STA is not as easy, but yeah. Maybe dex for procs?

make sure you get at least 75 agility or big AC dip.

Ok thanks guys. Yes, I avoided STR, just figured DEX for procs/crits might be more useful in the long run for a warrior. Just seems backwards not throwing them into STA though.

I would personally go Dex myself

All sta. You need a lot of dex if u are main tank in a raid but dex buffs are available then and proc rates don't change much once u get to a certain amount of dex. It's hard to max out sta.

Fungi tunic has -10 agi.

ofc your gear should have some... but just something to consider.

Nothing is game breaking, bit STA is best.

HP >>> ALL

Dex or STA....but really..dex..its true it doesn't make much of a difference either way (if you dumped it all into CHA it's not like anyone would ever notice)

The return on STA is pretty bad..and the return on DEX (for proc rates) is also pretty bad. That said, drawing aggro so things hit you is kinda a key component in the whole tanking equation, whereas that extra HP really doesn't do anyone much good when stuffs all beating on the enchanter cuz you can't hold aggro.

Also the thing about keeping a minimum AGI is true..but plenty of warrior gear you'll be wearing anyway will boost it so it really doesn't matter all that much in the long run, and agi over that level is of minimal benefit.
