That was just generic advice, if we actually wanna help someone, we wouldnt permanently piss in the font of knowledge with repeated similar and defensive comments. Sure, defend your point, that is what we do. But dont confuse defending your point with Needing To Win.

Str, sta at creation, is not really as important as this convoluted shitstorm makes it out to be.
The wisest necro prolly had fun. Maybe not smashing fastest to 60 record. But fucking hilarious.

Tell OP sta is, in YOUR opinion the best option, based on A+B+C. Adendum the shit outa it if you forgot an important point.
But lets not repeatedly shit in our advice pool. This goes for us all. I just now repeated myself about this. See, it does not help!
Im off to melt my own face for mana.
I am not confusing defending my point with needing to win. It is your opinion I am trying to win, but you don't have any evidence to back that up. You could say the same thing about Crede, and it would have equal merit. You are singling me out specifically, and it is silly to claim otherwise. The post history is clear.

The reason why this debate is still going is because the people who are claiming STR is the better starting stat are being logically inconsistent with their claims.

1. The first claim is STR is going to give some tangible benefit to OP if they select it over STA.
2. The second claim is fashion is superior to stats. This implies the STR is not going to give a tangible benefit to OP. That is why you can pick whichever race you want, regardless of their starting stats.

These two claims are at odds, and nobody can explain how they can both be true. If posters think STR will tangibly help, they would suggest that OP picks Barbarian. There is no rule on this forum that stipulates that you cannot suggest a different race than what OP is thinking about, even if you don't expect OP to agree with you. If you were logically consistent with your opinion about STR, you wouldn't have a problem with discussing the merits of Barbarian over Gnome.

My claims have no inconsistencies.

1. STR is easier to cap with gear and buffs than STA.
2. Rogues are group dependent, so you have a higher probability of gaining buffs.
3. STA is harder to cap. Putting your starting stats there is giving you the benefit for more play hours.
4. Capped stats give you no bonus.

I am not sure why an inconsistent set of claims should take priority over a consistent set of claims. If people can properly explain why their claims are not inconsistent, that would be great!
