Dwarf Rogue Starting Points...

[Legidias]

Then enjoy your rogue and don't worry about min max stats.

Im not trying to be mean, but if that's your only goal, you could stat dump into wis and it won't really matter. The starting stats helps you out if you're 100% fresh with no gear by giving a boost as you start playing. Once you're higher level, the initial stats only serve as a helping hand to gearing by allowing you to ignore certain items with stats in lieu of other things you are lacking.

(Also, Ive had situations where I've lived with sub-100 HP. That small amount of STA might actually save your life vs. a small bit of STR increasing your dps by 0.01)

Also, for assuming sake I only ever play this rogue to lvl 50 and never raid, then what?

All STR imo

Sounds like a good candidate for all STR.

25 str / 5 sta on Cecily, a wood elf, worked out fantastically during my first year raiding while I was still gearing her up. My resist gear would ruin my str and higher str is just nice to have for general grouping.

I thought Dex only affected proc rates and combat skill ups?

Also, isn't Agility broken on the server?

Correct on dexterity. Agility does grant minimal AC. Definitely go either all stamina or a mix of strength and stamina. Heads up, when you’re high level, strength is very easy to max.

Rogues double dip on AGI, they get a small mitigation bonus linked to agi in addition to the usual avoidance.

Doesn't change the answer though.

Charisma for RP and selling.

Strength for pure levelling if you actually only bother going to 50. Stamina for levelling 50+ because if you end up raiding at all you will max strength easily enough without those extra base points.

My barb rogue was hitting str cap with garbo gear in the 40s from shaman buffs. Rolled the rogue years ago so i don't remember my allocation. Str is great, but when you have buffs, they become wasted pts. Either way, doesn't matter much in the grand scheme.

I'd put a few into the barrel roll. That is one of the best parts of a dwarfie.
