Iksar Monk: 20 sta the endgame choice?

[Samoht]

Putting starting points into STR or DEX is dumb when you're talking about end game. Focus + Avatar + Boon will max these out easily.

You know what will be harder to max? STA.

Melee characters need to put points into STA.

He’s not mentioning end game, BiS and primals. Mostly soloing and helping people out.

STA is still a great choice for a casual player. P99 is a long game, and people can change their minds about what they want to do in a year or two. I never planned on raiding either when I made my SK and Shaman, but I eventually tried it out and liked it.

You won't have a problem regardless of what you choose. As I said earlier, if OP is the type of player who has regrets about something they can never change, STA is the safest choice. You won't notice a significant difference from having 20 less STR.
