SK Starting Stats?

Chrisjag92 · #1 08-03-2010, 11:59 AM

I'm thinking about rolling an Ogre SK and am curious on what good starting stats are. I don't know too much of how my gear will affect me late game.

Any tips?

25 STA, 5 AGI

None in to STR at all?

Well, Ogres start below the AGI penalty. If you get gear with AGI on it's ok (I think it's 75?), then you can dump the 5 in STR if you want. You're gonna be a tank though, so the extra 5 STR isn't going to mean much.

Have to agree, as an ogre SK you will be max strength by your mid 30's.

Let's face it you are not a DPS class and that extra strength is not going to do much for you aside from letting you carry more.

That suggests adding to Dexterity? Really? That guide is terrible.

Well the stat suggestions are terrible, but to be fair, we know a lot more about what makes a good SK now than anybody did then.

The rest of the guide is okay, and you gotta love the old-school drawing.

I made a human - I forget just what I did... Think I balanced it between STA and STR.
Maybe I did 5 less in STR and put it in AGI.

Keep in mind, gear will make up for some as you go. You are likely to see SK gear leaning towards: STR/STA and some Int probably. You can always 'lean' another way if you want as you go.

It's not overly critical. Stamina's always a good bet, if you do in fact max it out, you can always look for gear with other stats on it.
