Now who is comparing something different to prove an incorrect point? The title of this thread includes the words "min/max." The point you're trying to make is that STR doesn't have enough value to you to quantify investing heavily into it. To everybody who is actually going to min/max, the stats they're going to invest in are STR/STA/HP/MR, because those are the most important stats to them, as a min/max rogue.

The point you're trying to make is completely off target. Quit bringing up red herrings.

STR has high value to a Rogue. If it doesn't have high value to you, you're just a bad Rogue.

It's hard given you've now had a full explanation of why Str does not give a meaningful benefit but still refuse to believe. I can understand why you're stuck in denial, the chances are you've spent huge amounts of time and effort on Str builds for various characters if you've been around for 5 years.

Unfortunately the amount of time you have wasted and the huge inefficiency of a Str build over an AC build doesn't change the facts. The EQ mechanic does not support Str as a Min/Max option for a Rogue who is levelling (and in a lot of end game circumstances. although then it will generally be HP or Resists that are the priority).

A Str build Rogue, levels more slowly, is less flexible, cannot solo and is a drain on group resources over an AC build Rogue. That's just how the game works, whether you like it or not.
