Importance of ideal starting stats?

[renegadeofunk]

I just got my dorf rogue to 25 and today it occurred to me how easy it's going to be to hit 200+ strength considering my starting stats were 25 str/5 stam.

I don't have explicit plans to raid, but I might, and I see now that 25 stam/5 str is the recommendation for endgame. Is it worth rerolling at this point for that 80 health?

Starting stats are not important

Carry on...

Nope.

Starting stats don't matter at all, with very few, very niche exceptions. Don't worry about it. If a stat matters, your gear will take care of it.

If you're getting hit as a rogue, something is wrong. In DPS terms tanking is the last thing you want to be doing <3

So don't worry about the stats, and know you're probably still ahead of dark elves, gnomes, half elves...and perhaps others in the stamina department [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

As a wood-elf rogue, I put my starting points into dex. I know now I should have had strength, but I had just joined the server and was stupid. Also, I play D&D...

Cheap-ish strength gear got me up to double my starting strength, but it's my choice of weapon and my haste item which affect who good I am in combat. Strength is nice, helps me carry more loot, but stat gear is easy to find on this server and at least I proc more often than most characters,

Yeah but if he gets into raiding then the AE damage is going to make him wish for that 25 sta, while raid buffs will likely make maxxing out str trivial even in resist gear.

Don't reroll IMO though, 25 is enough of a pain in the ass to me that I'd keep going.

You get max stats in velious anyways so don’t matter qft

No, don't reroll.

1) Stats aren't terribly important.

2) Going 25 STR/5 STAM will benefit you from 1-60 more than the other way around.

3) You can invest in HP items while forgoing a few STR items.

4) See number 2.

The only starting stat that matters is having at least 75 agi, everything else is w/e
