thinking about rolling a warrior

secondary reasons for selecting a particular race beyond the base stats clearly exist and nobody will ever refute them (except flamers)

however, once you have your race selected, the stat to bump the highest will always be stamina.

clearly if you cared about secondary reasons over stats for a warrior, everyone would pick an ogre. sneak vs immunity to stun? lol, is this even an argument?

as far as stats go: your priority should be getting your primary stats to buffed max (let's call this 160-170 unbuffed), after which, for warriors, it should be getting your AC and HP as high as possible (in that order). spending 25 points into a primary stat means you have to acquire 25 fewer points of stat gear in order to achieve your primary goal, which gives you more room to achieve the secondary goal. stamina is only useful in that it raises your HP and there are other ways to raise HP.

tl;dr: disregard stamina, acquire maxed primary stats and hp/ac as a warrior.

i'm pretty sure that right now, neither one of us knows what you're talking about. better tanking mitigation comes from better raw hp/ac, not str/sta/dex/agi. since stamina has better return per point in hp than agi has per point in ac, then how do you disregard stamina? putting starting points into str/agi are not going to help at all.

yet another reason unrelated to endgame stats.
