On live rogues (and beastlords) get a defence bonus from stacking Agi.

Any defensive benefit from AGI is minimal at best.

pretty sure DEX only afffects crits, crips, and procs for melee here

Rogues don't get melee crits/crips on P99. Just thrown. If you're throwing, you don't care about your DPS, anyway.

Emergency update: I am wearing elf hide gloves. If I was leveling back in classic without the insane meta game knowledge we share collectively I would Definitely be wearing the elf hide.

Just switch to Iksar Scaled Gloves. They're super cheap and have decent AC, STR, and HP.

I think you might not understand. For clarity, with most characters there is a greatly diminished benefit from Agi after 75. For these characters all agi does is improve avoidance.

However, rogues and beastlords gain mitigation AC from agi after a certain point. Might not work like that here, but that is how it is on live. A dev posted it.

Any benefit from AGI is definitely minimal.

Seventeen years.

Come on people. It's been 17 years.

Repeat the mantra. Stats in EQ are not meaningful. The combat mechanic makes very little reference to Stats. Stacking Str, Dex or Agi will not make a meaningful difference to how your character performs.

Does the Steel Warriors parsing data and evaluation stuff still exist? People need to be more aware of this so we don't end up grouping with so many damn Monks in Black Panther etc etc.

Actually it's worse like that. At least with Str and Dex there is a detectable (but tiny for most classes) difference from large amounts. Agi has NO DETECTABLE, PARSABLE value over 75. None.

Gauntlets of Fiery Might are very cheap these days
