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

Put all str that I could into my dark elf rogue, no regrets. Nothing you do at start will in any way hurt or hinder your character at 60. Play the game, enjoy.

+1 for going into strength. Vast majority of people who play here don't make it to 60 much less raid.

I was curious what I spent my points on with my rogue...i couldnt remember.

I went +20 STR / +5 STA -- at 60, sure I wish I had more STA vs STR, since my STR is easily capped and STA is a bit more difficult. However, the extra STR helped a shit load when I leveled the character up. I frequently had pretty poor STR leveling up, I can't imagine how shit it would have been rockin' base 65 STR on the guy.

so i think there are pros and cons to each choice. overall though I am happy with my choice and if I had to do it all over again i'd probably do it the same way.

Do you think you'll spend more time being under 60 or more time being 60?

I'll spend more time caring before 60.

im personally a big fan of going strength to make leveling better. i also typically assume anyone asking on p99 boards isn't making their character for the express purpose of being a raid character

at level 60 the only 2 important stats on rogue are fashionquest and IRL charisma. if you have buffs at level 60 you're most likely in a situation where the difference of 20 starting stats is basically irrelevant.

if you're in a situation where you aren't getting buffed then you can use your IRL charisma to make friends and convince people to give you the login info for a better class.

I bet nobody would notice 20str when grouping, which is all Rogues do. A marginal damage increase which gets watered out with the overall DPS of the group.

Going str is just a strange minmax choice for leveling which will later result in wasted stats.

The only noticable effect is being able to carry more finesteel weapons.

Which allows a solo self found rogue to carry more weight to cash in for items. Plus do more damage when you know, solo.
One size (stat allocation) does not fit all.

Back in a box Duik.
