Importance of ideal starting stats?

Yeah, everyone is concerned with stats. I get that. You can't compare an item that is +25 with starting stats though because you can't buy starting stats. Of course people with lots of plat will pay lots for such an item but is it necessary? Probably not.

Again, go back to what the guy that started the thread mentioned which was STA. 20 more STA would give him, as a rogue, a whole 80 hit points. If you would pay 200k for 80 hit points you have more plat than brains.

Oh, one more thing. Go back and read the thread. Almost everyone but you told the OP that it was no big deal.

Wrong. I told the OP that he's fine with going STR on DWF Rogue for a new character. I picked a bone with all the people saying that starting stats are irrelevant, which is false. If OP had gone say, all CHA or INT on his toon I would have advised him to re-roll

The ironic part of you telling me to 'read the thread' is that you provably demonstrated that you didn't read the thread.

Of course I read it and I know what you told him. It's highly doubtful even the most noobish of players would go CHA or INT on a rogue so that's irrelevant. The point I'm making along with most of the other people that replied in this thread is whether he put that 20 points in STR, DEX or STA, in the long run it isn't going to make a whole hell of a lot of difference. You seem to be one of those OCD min/maxers I talked about earlier that thinks it will. You can go on thinking that but don't come in here and try to use that as a basis to say everyone else is wrong.
