Monk Stat Priorities: STR vs. DEX
My Iksar Monk represents the first time I have seriously played a Melee class in an environment as classic EQ (Though I farted around with one a year before the live game went F2P). It is my understanding the a Monk's general stat priorities are AC/HP/STR. I have heard conflicting reports about the STR part of that priority, with some on this forum saying even a high STR increases DPS only marginally. Is this true?
Also, I have noticed that a good number of primo Monk weapons have a proc effect (trance sticks and tstaff, to name a couple) If a Monk gets a weapon with a good proc on it, does STR become DEX in the priority? Or maybe I have the whole thing totally screwballed in my head. I'm a classic EQ Newb, and there is much I still need to learn. Any comments on a Monk's stat priority would be super. And yes, I do know that Monks need to keep their weight as low as possible, and why. That's why I made my Monk a (mostly) full set of Cured Silk Armor. =)

I'd say distribute between strength and STA, at least 10 to Stam.
STR caps easily. | ||

Yeah, I put all 20 points into STA @ creation, for that reason. I was more referring to a Monk's stat priority AFTER they have been rolled and spent some time leveling, but thanks for the feedback.
