Help me with stats for my Rogue. Been to long

[mitic]

a rogue that knows his class doesnt need defensive skills. besides that dex > str

[Vanech]

No offense Havick, but your original conception of EQ rogues falls more in line with WoW rogues, which are the only rogues in any RPG let alone MMO (that I have played at least) where having 1hb as a primary skill seems to be important :\

As a couple have mentioned already, STA.

Or split STA/STR.

State your reason for this. Attack is your most important stat and is based on your STR. Procs are a bad idea IMO as a rogue so what is your high dex doing for your DPS?

Edit: ok I see that this was addressed in the thread. HPs become important when you are fighting a boss mob that AoEs, you can't DPS when your dead ;P

While I agree with the sentiment of your post, that resist gear is far more valuable when called for, I cannot tell you how many times I've survived with 2% hps on boss fights while rogues with less hps have died.

You're both right, resist gear > stamina in certain situations, but the maxim "You can't DPS if you're dead." still holds water, and is even reinforced by the idea that resist gear >.

I had a 65 Rogue on Morell-Thule which merged to E.Marr. I was apart of a great many planar, ToV raids and I never used STA.

It was all STR, DEX, and AGI. WHy put points into STA, when you cant protect it with AGI first? At higher levels and Kunark to soon come out, rogues will have an arsenal of armor to equip to protect the rogue well enough.

You want all Offense baby. Your main priority is to kill! KILL!!!! BACKSTAB!!!

You guys are dumb. lol.

100% offense = dead rogue. Velious geared or not.

You can't DPS if you're dead.

..also, you currently can't get more than 255 STR, so given that shaman buffs are available, there is absolutely no reason to bring your STR over 188. It's wasteful. 188 STR is easy to get, so why waste creation points on it, when you can add stamina and get a huge chunk of hps for free?

..also, the AC that AGI adds is so fucking negligible as to be next to worthless, and AC (while much improved) still does not do what it should on this server.

Basically, you guys are dumb. lol.
