Need some advice about character creation!

Keep in mind, that for a rogue the target number to shoot for its actually only 186 str, because endgame str buffs will bump you to or very near the 255 hardcap.

I went 25stam/5 str and though I'm moderately well twinked from EC buys I hit 186 without any of the really good gear, honestly without trying that hard.

Admittedly, the 5ac 55hp rings I keep in a bag for 'those days' do more for his hp than the 25 stam, but keep in mind, a dead rogue does zero DPS. That, coupled with str being so easy to stack through gear, is enough for me to put all my starter points in stam.

With reference to the choice of stats for a Necro: Int casters get less than 3 HP/1 STA at max level. That sweet 50-60 hp is extremely easy to sacrifice in favor of freeing up a few gear slots of INT gear that could have +HP instead.

For a Necro, go INT.
