It depends on what you're playing EQ for. Danth plays to duo in guk with Lara, or to find a group in solb; enjoying just the day to day of EQ. That's what he enjoys and I love this guy!

However, I'm a crazy minmaxer (not so crazy as to roll a dwarf though). I play to maximize the character in whatever way possible. The way EQ breaks down for tanks is stamina for complete heal. Even in the classic era your HP total is gonna dictate your cleric's mana (we just didn't know that 10 years ago). So even as an erudite SK I'd say staaaminaaaaaAAAA! I spent my days in sola in my 20s with full bronze naturally encumbered because I went stamina build, and I never regretted it.

So the 15 points of sta vs str won't be game changing by any means, it just depends what you want from the game.

but honestly, I feel like stamina is wasted on rangers, cuz once they draw agro (and yes, they WILL), they will die. I would say that, like rogues, they should go for maxing their stats that make them useful outside of tanking (dex for procs, agility for whatever the hell it does, etc.)
