Anyone who doesn't say full Stamina then what's left in Strength in creation points for rogue is a fucking idiot.

The formula for rogue stats is like this:

Get STR to 188, then HP > AC > all

STR to 188 is easy to do with gear, even if you have low starting STR. Most rogue gear has STR on it, and 188 is not a high number. The reason you should get STR to 188 is because a level 50 shaman buff is +67 STR, 188 + 67 = 255.

After you get that, staying alive is your biggest goal. This is accomplished mainly through having more hps, and secondarily by increasing AC. Stamina supports HPs and AGI supports AC. STA is by FAR more efficient at increasing HPs than AGI is at increasing AC, so I do not bother with AGI at all, unless my choice is a STA + AGI item over JUST a similar amount of STA.

DEX is totally useless for a rogue, unless you're a proc rogue, and proc rogues are dumb. The whole point of being a rogue is maximizing your damage while minimizing your aggro, and procs (even if they suck) generate FAR more aggro than melee hits. Also, a high damage weapon in the main hand will outdamage a lower damage weapon with a proc over time hands down. A DEX build is "OK" if you do not have any other option, but honestly, you will do more dps over time and die a lot less if you focus on straight up melee damage.

Someone mentioned my creation point discussion post, here it is:
