How important are your bonus points when creating a character?

[pasi]

Very important until you can start getting gear that has a ton of HP/mana with +10/15 stats and +10/15 all resists in every slot. For the most part, this is Luclin.

You can max stats now, but the issue is the HP/Mana and Resists that you are giving up to do so. In other words, it's very easy to max strength on a rogue. The question is how are you going to max strength while also having max resists and HP for that encounter.
