The OP is writing this from an endgame point of view so anyone reading this has to bear in mind at character creation, is *this* character going to be raiding the end game?
The only time on live I ever was in the endgame was prior to Kunark's release. After that I kept buying the expansions but kept falling further and further behind the curve. The only reason I ever hit 255 on a stat was because I could solo equipment in the bazaar.
So bear in mind, if you are just making an alt to mess about with, dumping points into STR so you can carry loot might be a reasonable option even for a caster.
