Starting stats

Of course. Starting stats do not matter much in the long run. Dumping all your starting stats into INT as a Ranger won't cripple your character.

That is why I typically tell people to plan for endgame, just because it reduces the risk of regret. I didn't plan on ever getting to 60 and raiding with any character. But later on I changed my mind.

Luckily STR is the easiest stat to get gear-wise in this timeline, especially for melees. So it isn't difficult to get the STR you want with EC gear. Honestly an EE Bag + Large Burlap Sack and a few Sharalok packs is already amazing in terms of weight reduction. That's less than 1000pp worth of bags too.

To clarify, right now with my gear the way I’m happy I would have 171 STR and 220 STA with the 20 base STA points. I could adapt with different picks but it wouldn’t be “better” just different.

If people aren’t MR freaks it’s way easier to cap STR. Or if you actually wear the Tracker helm. Humans tend to wear them for the dragon hat fashion.
