+6 neck will get you above the AGI penalty, same with the Crown of Narandi, both items that will basically never be replaced and will get you resists as well.

If you do end up replacing them and obtaining BiS, you will still be well above the AGI cap:

Along with things like avatar & cat o nine tails, I don't see the value in that 5 extra AGI. Maybe in classic, but it's simply overkill in Velious due to the number of good agility items out there.

Dwarves should be going 20 into CHA if they plan to solo/group. If they never plan to solo/group at 60 and only raid, then WIS would be a better option.

Your magic resistance isn't capped, even with 6 neck or https://wiki.project1999.com/Valtron...lace_of_Wonder .

https://wiki.project1999.com/Amulet_of_the_Storm is a great swap for magic resistance, but you would lose the agility on the neck slot, as an example.

I am not saying you are wrong. Full BiS should have AGI on one piece. If you really want to maximize every point, and you know exactly what gear you are going to get, then you can avoid putting the 5 points into AGI.

For most players, the 5 AGI is the better option. I also did the 5 AGI as an Ogre, so I could get from 70 to 75. I don't regret it, since I never have to worry about AGI on my items, or worry about using an AGI buff.

I have raid gear in most of my slots, but only three pieces actually have AGI on it, my neck piece, my face, and my legs. My neck piece gets swapped out for https://wiki.project1999.com/Amulet_of_the_Storm when I need more MR. The pants are basically BiS for Shamans, so technically I don't need the +5 AGI. However, my Lodi Shield cancels out my leg bonus with -5 AGI, so I am only getting AGI from my face slot at the end of the day when swapping for resistances. I can maintain one agility piece at all times, but that is because I have an AGI piece that is also a great resistance piece for the slot.
