How about that leather, eh?

<DIV>Doesnt wisdom add to your resists?  Useless stats winner has to go to Mystics...   My 60 Kerra Mystic has more STR buffs than an entire raid and 87.4% of them are self buffs.  Its so when I tank the nasty dragon he feels it!</DIV>

<P>Yeah, WIS adds to your resists, but I prefer STR and AGI all the same. Besides, it's my job to die from any raid AEs so as to amuse my raid group... can't have those pesky resists getting in the way!</P> <P>You're right tho.. Mystic STR takes the prize. But they'll always ring the bell with the hammer and win the big stuffed puppy at the state fair.</P>

<DIV>I agree STR and AGI first, but as a raider primarily I am already close to the caps and over them when raiding so I appreciate the little extras on the gear.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>One unfortunate side effect of my mystics str is that when he pets dog dog, he snaps his spine and I have to resummon! (Not saying that dog dog has the mitigation and HPs of a Queens island bear cub or anything..., oh wait I am!)</DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

<P>I'll take WIS over AGI any day on a raid.  Capping AGI results in almost nothing except a bigger power pool. </P> <P>Try lowering your AGI by half and seeing if it makes much of a difference in avoidance.  It doesn't.  But the resists you get from higher WIS makes a huge difference.</P>

At the higher levels, there was more focus toward grouping and raiding, and every spell line had group and single shots. So everyone in the group could be decently buffed.<div></div>

I THINK they put other stats in is because you can cap out with STR and AGI with the right buffs (not our own) fairly easy. What good is MORE STR when you are maxed out? <div></div>
