Want to Start a Rogue and Just want to Make Sure I Understand a Couple Things

Lol. If 25 "wasted" stats screw up your character once solidly geared, maybe you're really bad at playing EQ?

OP, just make the rogue and ignore this thread.

Honestly I thought everyone on this thread just enjoys bickering over minutiae.

I’ve had many sleepless nights thinking about EQ. Never about my starting points. They matter just like the racial perks but won’t limit anyone doing anything outside maybe a weird piece of equipment or a solo BoTB pvp competition.

IMHO if someone wants to start a min-max thread to debate these things I’m all for that. Seldom do we ask the OP more questions about definitions and goals to try and give relevant advice.

I can give a number of scenarios where a gnome rogue wouldn’t be strength capped. I can argue for hps if a serious raider. I can argue for more dex for quicker avatar procs. That’s fun and relevant for ME but kind of selfish if someone is asking a genuine question for them…

It's a waste.

It’s a rogue. The warmbody dps of EQ.

Any time you are not str capped at 60, for any reason (even outside raids), it’s 23 attack. That’s two Aura of Battles or almost a SoN.

Oh right, there is a niche use I had forgotten about for +Str, since it hasn't really applied to me in most circumstances. If you're Str capped without shaman buffs, you can ask for Talisman in place of Focus and get Bedlam for max starting HP before hitting an AOE fight. That only works if you're either Str capped without Focus or have Avatar though, since it will block.

...I should remember to start asking for that buff stack on stuff where I request Avatar, actually...
