190 vs 210 dex (or 150 vs 170) on an epic sk (30sec duration proc tap) will be nearly imperceptible. By the time you have epic you’ll be rolling around with shamans who can stack dex/focus to the tune of +130 your unbuffed.

Dex isn’t a bad choice but to make your decisions at level 1 solely on one weapon in the game and insisting it’s the best choice is giggle worthy. Especially when there are racial choices that at 60 give you permanent uptime healing regen 1/5 the potency of this weapon proc.

As has been pointed out, as long as you have 75 base agility you can dump your points into anything but cha/wisdom and not have made a mistake.
But slapping points into stats I am guaranteed to cap later isn't narrow sighted?
By the rate you sit on 255str/sta in Velious, those starting skill points might as well have gone to charisma then.

Racial choices aren't a thing. If your class can pick Ogre, pick Ogre. Unless cosmetics or whatever are priority, then do whatever. /burp
