Monk Stats

[Dragonhelm]

<DIV>Just curious as to what stats other Monk characters focus on?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I tend to prioritise in this order:</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><STRONG>1 - Str -</STRONG> To do more damage and get more power</DIV> <DIV><STRONG>2 - Agi -</STRONG> Primarily for avoidance</DIV> <DIV><STRONG>3 - Sta -</STRONG> For health</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>For the most part I'll only usually go for an item with <STRONG>Wis</STRONG> or <STRONG>Int</STRONG> if they're a secondary gain on an item that already has one or more of the first three. Do <STRONG>Wis</STRONG> or <STRONG>Int</STRONG> make much of a difference in your opinion?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Thanks in advance!</DIV>

Wisdom raises resists.  So, If you tank or solo vs casters it is very important.  My sta and str are about equal (450ish solo) with agi at 320 or so, wis at 250, and int at 125.  Int does the least for us as we have no spells.  The increase in proc damage is very minor, so I never go out of my way to raise int.  My duoing partner has a +100 wis buff that she puts on me, so my wis in most sitautions is right around the same as my agi.  Agi seems to raise avoidance painfully slowly.  I use AAs and items with avoidance bonuses to get my avoid high rather than relying upon having a very high agi score.  The extra health and power from str and sta seem to more than make up for the difference.
