Gnome Warrior - Statistics

[Ethelen2001]

Hello,

I would like to play a gnome warrior and I don't really know how to use my 25 points.

I think to use 5 points in STR to have 75 (Is there a malus under that score ?) and all others in STA, to have 100 points.

What do you think about that ?

How far do you plan to take this character?

Strength is the only stat that gives a meaningful boost at low level (well, charisma helps too for vendoring, but who would put points in that :p).

At higher level it only takes a shaman buff and a boon to max dex from ~100. If you can double stack strength and focus that will max strength very easily. Agility doesn't do a huge amount extra in triple figures, so that pretty much leaves you with stamina, which can't be easily double buffed.

So if it is for an alt that won't break 50s, Str is good. Otherwise Sta.

Don't sweat it too much though. Stats/buffs at high levels are all pretty huge.

In order to not get burned in the low levels i would suggest strength as well. As a gnome your str isn't terribly high anyways and you are able to wear plate armor. If you do not improve your str then you will probably be encumbered right away without carrying any loot. So put all that you can into str.

If this is an alt to a very rich main, then do stamina. But then you wouldn't ask i guess.

Just wear dwarven cultural armor, and you really won't have to worry about STR. Max out STA.

Thanks for yours advices.

I decide to use 15 points in STR (85) and 10 points in STA (90).

Just do strength. If you cared about end game enough to go stamina instead, you wouldn't be rolling a gnome to begin with.
