for future reference take everything off alla with a grain of salt, it reflects the way things are currently on live, so lots of stuff doesnt apply to this server
as far as stats go...
wisdom affects your mana pool, you get better returns the more you have, and the higher level you are, til around 200, then +mana items are better
stamina adds hp, scales with level/class type, decent stat for us because we turn our hp into mana at higher levels
agi affects ac, dodge, and mob miss chance when hitting you, not worth it
dex affects procs off weapons, hit/crit with ranged weapons, dont bother with it.
int is for other caster types, ignore it.
strength obviously affects melee damage and how much weight you can carry, again dont bother.
charisma affects effectiveness of charm abilities (befriend animal line) and affects merchant pricing, higher cha means you can buy stuff cheaper, and sell stuff for more, dont bother with it, but DO pick up the buff that you get for it, cast it on yourself when buying/selling at vendors.
at 9 you get a new poison, Tainted Breath, but life gets much easier at 14 when you get root, keeps a mob in place so you can dot and med. at 19 you get a much stronger disease you'll use for a while, 24 you get regen and your first hp to mana spell called cannibalize. by the late teens you should neeeeever be meleeing, we lack the proper tools to melee something within our level range.
as far as buffs go, everything stacks except with itself is a general rule, meaning strength buffs dont stack with other strength buffs, a slow wont stack with another slow. in these cases, whichever has the stronger affect OR lasts longer (happens sometimes) will overwrite the previous iteration. the only caveat to this is DoT's, where you can have 1 application of a spell line per user, IE 3 shamans can all safely disease the same mob, and all will stick and damage said mob. I dont believe however you can cast multiple versions of diseases and have them land, the highest one takes precedence (sicken wont stack with affliction, and so on.)
