But yeah, 25str/dex/sta won't move the needle much either way. For non/casual raiders I'd say max your primary stat and worst case scenario you just get more wiggle room to toy with optimization/resists.
The reason why I suggest people think of endgame for their starting stats is because P99 is a game you play for years.

My first main character was my SK. I started my Shaman for fun as an alt to try out the class. I never thought he would be a level 60 character. At the time I also didn't plan on ever doing high end raids like ToV. I was doing PoSky for the most part on my SK.

My Shaman ends up becoming my main, getting to 60 before my SK. I also decide to join Aftermath and do endgame raiding.

People may change their minds on a character later on. That is why I suggest people assume their new characters will be level 60 and raiding, because this may be the case a year from now.

Starting stats do not significantly impact your play, so it's not an expensive gamble to assume your character will be finished eventually.
