Any rogue not in full ravenscale fails at fashionquest, EQ and life.

Also lol at red being "hard"

So basically what I am getting from this debate is that one person says since STR directly influences damage, the rogue should stack and focus on STR.

The other person is claiming that STR minimally influences damage, so other stats are more important, such as AC, HPs, etc., right?

If the latter is right, what stats are more useful then for a rogue if not STR? AC? HPs? Would it be better to put starting points into DEX or STA and not STR?

Cap str with buffs then work on survival (hp/sta/resists). Anything else is wrong.

Get STR up to atleast 188 because having 255(with str buff) STR will definately be of most benefit to a rogue because you get better dps. Then start on your defensive stats, most important is having nice resist because as a rogue you will most likely be taking damage from AoE spells. HP is always nice and AC will help you stay alive if you end up taking aggro(which you shouldnt).

Those who advocate for high AC and defensive stats before STR on a rogue does not play a rogue I'm sure.

Edit. I would go beyond 188 STR anyways, because theres not always a STR buff available.

You will be hit. You will face AE. Dead Rogues do no damage. Rogues who are waiting to engage in case they get pulped from evade failures do no damage.

Ignore Str, ignore Dex, ignore Agi (as long as its over 75). Wear items entirely focused on AC with a secondary consideration to HP until you are 60. At 60 focus on HP with a consideration for Resists. Starting points should go into 25 Sta, 5 Str (if you play a race where Agi is close to the penalty level of 75, you might wanna put the 5pts there) Due to the way itemisation works in EQ, you will naturally cap Str focusing on HP items once you are raiding.

The hp output from STA for rogues are minimal. On this server most tanks are nicely twinked during the leveling, even if theyre not Root fixes this. Incase youre not trolling and have played a rogue on this server and took the route your advocating, I can only imagine your dps have been lackluster and perhaps lost 100 less HP than a much more dmg outputting rogue incase of aggro, which should not kill you either way. Rogues are very good sustained dps, and more STR makes for more and heavier hits, dropping STR will only make you drop in dps. Getting nice resist stats is way more important than STA to my experience. Also you will not "naturally" cap STR at lvl 60, that is also misleading.
