Just for reference, here's the quote again to the thing you originally said:

Stats in EQ are not meaningful. The combat mechanic makes very little reference to Stats. Stacking Str, Dex or Agi will not make a meaningful difference to how your character performs.

Getting STR to 255 will make a meaningful difference to you as a Rogue. It will increase your DPS. That is going to almost always be your only role in a group or raid.
Sometimes you will have to CR or open a door, but that really has nothing to do with your stats.
You are here to do damage, and STR will increase your damage. STR is most beneficial to have capped. Sure, the easiest way to continue to DPS is to survive, therefore survival stats are also important. And you will also often face AE damage and AE fears, but you will have to plan for those for the situation at hand. That's why it's also going to be important to have STA/HP, MR, and resist sets. Being prepared for those situations will help you excel at this game.
But for most tank and spank fights, and for most group situations, you will not take any damage. The only stats that will matter are the ratio of your weapons, your haste, and your STR. Everything else is going to be secondary. Even in fights with rampage and fights with adds, it will still be your role to DPS. Never to tank. Rampage and adds are going to be planned for and dealt with. In groups, you will overcome those situations by outdamaging any threat. Not micromanaging their damage done to you. Tanks have tools to deal with that. Healers have tools to deal with that. CC classes have tools to deal with that. Even you as a Rogue have tools to deal with that. You're never going to be asked to tank or off-tank in a group. If you think you're off-tanking, you're probably just pissing the CCer off. Stop it.
Honestly, no amount of straw men or red herrings are going to change that. STR is still beneficial because it increases your damage done. That's the role Rogues play in this game. You just need to survive as long as you can while doing as much damage as possible
And STR does help with that. It's a fact.

Min/Max is NOT about ideal circumstances. Min/Max is about efficiency in real game encounters. You can't even get that right.

Also, this is so inherently wrong that it's not funny. You might speak like an educated statistician, but a gamer you are not. And by your posts, I can tell that you've never played a Rogue in an MMO.
Stack AC for min/max.... LOL. This isn't Rift.
