is agility the stupidest stat?

[hurt]

I read somewhere on these forums that in pvp if ones dex is higher than their opponents agi, it increased their chance to hit.

There was a parse somewhere showing the difference in hit rates.

I think on over time 14 or so ac from 25 agi not soft capped would definitely pay itself off.

An MT even on a raid taking on avg 1% less damage from a heavy hitter per hit is still a decent payback.

HP is a solid stat for warriors because they get a really good return on it and have rediculous AC and good returns on AC over the cap and I think just barely hit the cap in max level velious gear.

However for a caster who hits the cap early and gets shitty returns on AC over the cap, ide dump 5 or 10 points in AGI and go for a round 100 agi just for shitss and giggles and good early game mitigation. It's noticable.

Though high AGI will never really make you a better tank than someone with regen, stun immunity or raid buffs.

TLDR for anyone it might matter maxing AGI it's probably worthless, rangers could do better with dex.

And no you don't dodge better with more AGI, it just skills up to max/per level quicker.

Also it seems like even with pretty rediculously high agi, getting low hp percentages tends to take you to very low agi levels below 75 anyway so below 22% hp or 39% or whatever it is it's wasted.

Agility and Dexterity should be (or should have been) combined into a single stat.

I remember when I started playing in 1999 I spent a few weeks using my schools super fast internet to pick a class - before deciding on a human magician.

When created this char my friend (who was an expert lvl 12 wizard) gave me the following advice:
Strength: How hard you hit enemies for
Stamina: How long you can run / sprint / keep fighting
Agility: Helps you move around the world, making you quicker and more able to dodge
Dexterity: Makes you better at landing hits on enemies
Intelligence: Worthless stat
Wisdom: Worthless stat
Charisma: Lets you buy items for cheaper

Everywhere I read that magicians were a battle wizard, and what status do a battle wizard need! Str and Sta!

Needless to say I hit lvl 35 and decided to reroll a gnome.

I am sure if my 16 year old self knew what I was getting myself into I would have put more thought in the first time around!
