You got so caught up in the weeds of having “evidence” and “data” to “prove a point” that you missed out on the most important part of it all: the practical discussion.

Unfortunately I think when you see posts like this (ones with lots of paragraphs and complete sentences) you tend to focus on individual trees you find objectionable and miss the whole god damn forest around you.

I haven't missed the practical discussion.

If you read my posts, you will see I have leveled an Iksar Monk from 10-52 recently with 140 STR or less, and without Tink Bags. I was getting 1 level an hour, and was able to loot/sell everything. I know from practial experience 160 STR wouldn't have improved my leveling experience compared to 140 STR.

I read everything you post. You are simply too busy trolling and saying nonsense like "you are moving goalposts", when I have been 100% consistent. The only goalpost moving has been other posters switching between "starting stats do not matter" and "STR is giving you a significant DPS boost". This is why most of what you type isn't worth replying to. Typing a lot of paragraphs doesn't mean you are actually saying anything worthwhile.

My current data https://www.project1999.com/forums/s...&postcount=300 shows the DPS difference is 1.5 or so with +20 STR, and this difference is probably going to be lower at lower levels. This isn't going to be noticeable to a player casually leveling.

If you want to bring some valid data, I would be happy to take a look, and admit I am wrong if you show the DPS difference is large enough to matter.

The data currently shows INT as the best starting stat, and most people agree that starting stats don't really matter.
