As a 60 Wood Elf Rogue, Id vote all into STA. I can easily cap STR/DEX/AGI with shaman buffs but STA is always lagging behind. Pretty sure I had the recommended starting stat allocations that put points into agi/dex and I didn't even notice until I was in my 40s and I wasn't going to reroll over it. In hindsight Id go all STA as it's easy to fibd rogue str stuff, but 15/15 as others suggest doesn't sound terrible either.

HP ain’t that big of a deal. With midnight mallets as a mechanic, you need to substitute challenge where you can. If 100 hp is going to save your life, you’re dead anyways. Dead to me at least. Dead!

I’ve lived through every raid encounter in the game besides ST (no key) as a 115 sta rogue with +5 at creation.

Also, stats don’t matter in EQ. Befriend a shaman (or don’t. It doesn’t matter.)

It’s a way to go. You literally can’t go wrong with any str/sta split.

I made my Rogue while still clueless as to how the stats actually worked. I assumed Dex would be important for rogues, so I ended up dumping 20 into Dex and 10 into Strength, and that was after someone mentioned that rogues need strength.

Nothing but sadness ever since I found out that Dex is almost meaningless (around lvl 25). I wanted to reroll but I was encouraged not to. Being a Wood Elf rogue with 20 extra Dex did make a big difference -- a very negative one.

tl;dr Stay away from Dex, this isn't DnD.

Get a primal and you’ll have a better chance to proc it. It’s actually a pretty smart way to go with a big if attached.

another tl;dr for you: stats are pretty much irrelevent and your +20 DEX is super fine.

I’d even say +20 Dex is a fashion choice like dark elf. Anyone gives you crap, tell ‘em you like procs. If they ask what procs you’re using, you tell ‘em you don’t have any procing weapons. This will paralyze their brain for a moment and teach you a valuable lesson on sowing confusion.
