Contradiction in Warrior guide about starting stats

[vznos]

Well, Barbarians get 87 AGI so I'm not too worried about that. By the way, I'll be playing duo with a Shaman friend, if that makes any difference. Basically, any time I'm online I'll be with her since... Bind Wounds gets old~

Mitic's post here implies that as barbarian you should go with DEX, to be above the threshold for procs (barbs start with only 70 dex): https://www.project1999.org/forums/s...?t=9237&page=2

While sta is the normal choice to maximize effeciency of CH's as the tank, dex is unrated stats as a warrior in my opinion. Warriors in classic rely heavily on procs to generate aggro and dex is how you get more procs.

heals don't matter if the warrior doesn't have the aggro to take the hits. I say dump em all into dex. Procs early and often help out the duo/group/raid/whatever way more than the extra whatever hp you'd have from that extra stamina

I am totally shocked that pretty much everyone in this entire thread has gotten it dead right.

But how much of each? 15dex/10sta? It seems STA gear is harder to come by, which is why I don't say 20dex/5sta, but maybe I'm wrong.

Having 100 sta makes it so you don't attack slower or lose str when your stamina bar runs out. Course I'm not sure if Stamina even works in p99 yet, but if it does then you'd want 100min Sta to prevent yourself from running in to issues.

Edit: Yes, it's confusing talking about Sta the stat and Stamina the yellow bar which shows up under where your mana bar should be.

20dex/5sta sounds good. 70 is really low. You are going to want to bump that up as much as possible.

All dexterity, for any race. Warriors suck enough and kill groups as it is without procing enough. They are the 2nd weakest class behind Druid in my opinion for high-level experiencing and I nearly always groan out loud when some noob invites one to my group.

This is merely my extremely informed and experienced opinion.
