How important are your bonus points when creating a character?

TBH if your going to start naked as a babe... STR is a solid plan/starting stat.

If your willing to stick out sucky ATK until your 30 or so and can buy some +STR items. DEX will help melee proc rate and bows. Bows are useful as a ranger... windstriker/runed oak bow is pretty awesome. And you'll want to use it to solo some.

Alright, I'm going to stick with Strength then, because I'm also concerned with being able to carry enough loot to earn money later, and I want to be able to hit hard in melee as that's where I'm going to spend most of my time, on the front lines. But I'll definitely consider what you said about Dex and look for some Dex+ gear when the time is right. Thanks for your input.

Yeah, since we're only at (almost) Velious, it will be hard to max out all of your stats, so starting points can be important. For what it's worth, on my monk I put 5 points into STR and the other 15 points into STA.

Very important until you can start getting gear that has a ton of HP/mana with +10/15 stats and +10/15 all resists in every slot. For the most part, this is Luclin.

You can max stats now, but the issue is the HP/Mana and Resists that you are giving up to do so. In other words, it's very easy to max strength on a rogue. The question is how are you going to max strength while also having max resists and HP for that encounter.

not at all.. just be sure to tell your endgame raiding guild that you put all your points into STA

STA is very important for eating DTs.

So having an extra possible 42 HP is going to be important in a battle where I already have 5k?

You can't max Stamina at end-game with a base of 75?

I just made a tank with 70 STA. But if ESO is good I won't even play her.

Good news, ESO is not good.
