Opinions: Starting Iksar Monk Stats?

[Damaja]

For you high end Monks out there, which is the overall better direction to take on starting stats for Iksar Monks and why?
I am thinking starting stats might not be standard for Red99 as they would be for Blue99.

dex or stamina

i'd do dex

Wisdom because people appreciate wise monks.

STA = HP and HP is good.

Iksar stamina is pretty low and usually less common than str on items. With just items you'll have 200+ str with decent gear in velious before buffs.

DEX = procs and t-staff is considered the cornerstone of monk pvp

I'd probably split it right down the middle on sta and dex.

I personally wish I had gone more strength. If you have a pocket shaman to follow you around and buff you, that's one thing, but if you roll around solo like a lot of us do, you might wish had a higher amount of strength to clobber your enemies.

dex

null added some code where if your dex is higher than your opponent's agility, you have a higher chance of hitting them

20 stamina = 80 hp at level 60 for a monk which is nice, but i'd probably rather have the dex

[dethbringre]

Dex. imo

I didn't realize there were people who didn't put max points into dex on every melee, thought that was just like common knowledge.

[Mac Drettj]

i guess if ur an idiot

[Not Salem]

i put all my points into agi to one up people who didn't put all there points into dex, i can tank 3 white cons at level 18 with 190 agility and take no damage

Having shaman buffs to cap out 255 str/dex/sta is always great for sure, The difference in damage is very noticeable if your coming from a <200str or <180str even unbuffed. But dex for the most part, rest sta ide say. Especially if you happen to come across a tstaff for the proc, As iksars cannot currently wear any of that golden efreeti plated armor from sky thats heavy dex.

nobody in this thread knows anything about pvp or eq, starting stats dont matter

[Kergan]

Yeah stats don't matter at all. Just put it where ever. You do the same melee damage, have the same amount of mana and have the same AC regardless of stats.
