Don’t listen to any of this, OP.

If you actually care about stats and the difference they make then go STR. STA is literally a Magelo stat for rogues. If you’re gonna die, 20 extra sta isn’t going to save you 999999/1000000 times.

More str is a measurable benefit. More atk = more dps. It’s gonna take a long time to cap it without having to beg shamans 24/7 or staying capped with resist gear on a gnome especially who struggle with strength.

The extra 30 STR isn't going to do much for you either 999999/1000000 times. We are not talking about a run with an untwinked Rogue. I agree with you STR is the better choice if you want to do a run with no starting gear/plat.

Otherwise, with twink gear you are going to DPS just fine with Velious weapons and a haste item. Put your points into STA so you are more effective at high levels, where those starting stats will matter.
