If I was actually going to go this top-end, I would probably go CHA and just ask for DI before pulling things or doing AOE fights. Its super silly levels of optimization, but having an extra 7% chance to proc DI is probably more valuable than stats which only do something when you don't have buffs.
Probably have to bribe your clerics to carry emeralds and cast it on you though, or work out the bagspace to carry emeralds for people. Most clerics I've seen aren't carrying emeralds by default. This reminds me to start asking for DI on AOE heavy fights though on Jayya, I'm carrying emeralds anyway to get Shamans to Avatar me. She's got starting points in CHA for RPing reasons, might as well wring that tiny bit of extra benefit out of them.

So for sake of argument, say someone were going to make a new Monk, Iksar, and they were going to mostly solo, maybe help some people out now and again... all pts into STA? (Edit: Or even if it were Human?)

Unbuffed Str you won’t be at cap outside extremely good gear, or bad gear that pumps Str at a detriment to stuff like hps and AC. That’s less attack and less dps. 20 less stamina is less hps but only about 80 at level 60, at that level your mend will give you back 20 more health (25% of 80) than if you didn’t have the stamina. I’m in the minority here thinking most players won’t check all the boxes for difficult to acquire gear, whether purchased, farmed or raided. I also personally think any time you can do more dps is a good thing outside maybe a knight who literally is just an aggro shield. More hps is always nice, more strength means you can wear stuff without it (resist stuff) and still cap with a strength buff. In the end it’s only 20 points. Picking easy blues, using good weapons, ideally having a fungi are the solo keys. Outside trying to bum buffs when possible. | |||

You can take a look at my Magelo. Even with decent twink gear and an epic, none of my combat stats are above 150 unbuffed. I kill things just fine. The DPS loss from not putting 20 points into STR is minimal, as is the HP gain from 20 STA.

Putting starting points into STR or DEX is dumb when you're talking about end game. Focus + Avatar + Boon will max these out easily.
You know what will be harder to max? STA. Melee characters need to put points into STA. | ||

You won't have a problem regardless of what you choose. As I said earlier, if OP is the type of player who has regrets about something they can never change, STA is the safest choice. You won't notice a significant difference from having 20 less STR.

Mend / Bind Wound both scale off HP, so STA is still very good for soloing. HP is like really good on monks in particular.

It’s 20 attack or 80 hps (20 extra each mend). None of this will affect your game significantly.
My only point is whatever you do, max your attack. | ||
