is agility the stupidest stat?

[Baa]

I remember when I started playing in 1999 I spent a few weeks using my schools super fast internet to pick a class - before deciding on a human magician.

When created this char my friend (who was an expert lvl 12 wizard) gave me the following advice:
Strength: How hard you hit enemies for
Stamina: How long you can run / sprint / keep fighting
Agility: Helps you move around the world, making you quicker and more able to dodge
Dexterity: Makes you better at landing hits on enemies
Intelligence: Worthless stat
Wisdom: Worthless stat
Charisma: Lets you buy items for cheaper

Everywhere I read that magicians were a battle wizard, and what status do a battle wizard need! Str and Sta!

Needless to say I hit lvl 35 and decided to reroll a gnome.

I am sure if my 16 year old self knew what I was getting myself into I would have put more thought in the first time around!

Coming from AD&D, I saw EQ stats included dex AND agility .. I was like: wow, complex!!

Complex? Yes.
Profound? Negative.

Did you know beastlords get mitigation AC bonus at high agi in addition to avoidance ac?

Question for everyone:

How much agility do you need in order to be 75 or above when you hit that 'low health' part of the fight.

Right now I think I have just over 100 AGI (bonus is all from items worn). When I get to around 15% health, I see my AGI drop to 75, but is there a magic number in order to make sure that when low health you still stay at 75+ and what is it?

I don't have any mathematical proof, but after leveling a few melee on this server -- I def notice a difference between lower AC and higher AC characters. It also seems like geared Iksar tanks are a little harder than other races high end -- but I don't actually play one to say for sure.
