Importance of ideal starting stats?

[fastboy21]

With little exception it doesn't matter much...about 1/3 of classes aren't even gear dependent.

The difference between ogre and nome stats for an untwinked baby warrior are a big deal, but the difference between a nome with the optimally chosen stats and a nome with the least optimally chosen stats is fairly negligible.

There are a couple of exceptions on the margins (like don't let your agility be too low at start), but by and large it would be almost non-existent except for the most discerning of parses.

Generally speaking, for the classes that stats make a big difference you will easily make up for it in even pre-raid gear with group buffs.
