New WAR, where to put beginning stats?

[SirAlvarex]

DEX is the only stat that you'll see a benefit from prior to 50+. I believe the formula is '1 proc/minute per 100 dex'. So 200 dex will get you on average 2 procs a minute both at level 1 and level 60. That's something to keep in mind.

Either way you can't go wrong with either DEX or STA. Could just split it.

My readings suggest you get a jump in proc rate for every 50 points after 105. 157 certainly seems to be better than 107!

Level 1-35 you'll be wishing you dumped everything into STR cause hitting over dmg cap is so awesome (ogre jealousy)

When you're midlevel and climbing you'll be wishing you dumped everything into Dex to get procs

While you raid you'll be wishing you dumped everything into STA cause your dex and str will be capped.

You had better dump a LOT into strength. Warriors carry a ton of weapons and wear lots of heavy AC gear. You will regret it if you don't trust me.

this. that being said, I still spread mine around fairly evenly. a tiny bit into str, a bit into agil to ensure i could stay over 75 even with some -agi or weight penalty, a bit into dex, and the majority into STA.

Thanks all for the responses and different perspectives! I appreciate it.

Iirc DEX also affects your critical hit and crippling blow chance. If you find a healer you trust you can zerk tank your way through the levels at an incredible pace.

A zerked warrior with staff of battle will out DPS most monks and rogues.

Won't matter much with velious gear. Avatar buff will easily max dex, base sta is nice because it allows you wear better resist or +hp gear.

Frontal stun immunity is a pretty big deal for anyone though, even ignoring the huge stat boost ogres get.
