clearly if you cared about secondary reasons over stats for a warrior, everyone would pick an ogre. sneak vs immunity to stun? lol, is this even an argument?

as far as stats go: your priority should be getting your primary stats to buffed max (let's call this 160-170 unbuffed), after which, for warriors, it should be getting your AC and HP as high as possible (in that order). spending 25 points into a primary stat means you have to acquire 25 fewer points of stat gear in order to achieve your primary goal, which gives you more room to achieve the secondary goal. stamina is only useful in that it raises your HP and there are other ways to raise HP.

tl;dr: disregard stamina, acquire maxed primary stats and hp/ac as a warrior.
