<DIV>I'm curious because, being new at the game, I was wondering what attribute choices I should make when possible. </DIV>

<DIV>Str- gives you more melee damage</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Int- gives your spells more damage</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Sta- gives you more hitpoints</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>These are the three I always beef up. Depending on your race one of those more than likely will need some love. Being an ogre I had to raise my Int some.</DIV><p>Message Edited by Leatherface77 on <span class=date_text>05-13-2006</span> <span class=time_text>11:46 PM</span>

well, it depends what your doing, and who your with. For me I play with a mystic and furry a lot, and when raiding I'm usually in a group with mystic. Sooo, I hit the STR/STA cap constantly. Int is the hardest cap to hit, and int = more damage = hate.All that being said, if you tank miti and hps are your primary concern, if you DPS str and int.Hope that helps.<div></div>

Agi seems to be the hardest stat to cap for me. I'm wearing a combination of Blackcoat / Dark Malevolent / Claymore items, and I can cap my INT fairly easily in offensive stance with some gear swapping. In defensive stance, my WIS is usually in the high 300s depending on my gear, my STA is in the 400s, and my STR is around 300. Basically all of my stats are usually 300 or higher except for my agi, which sits at a somewhat pitiful 150. <div></div>

Having gear for every occasion. I have two bags almost totally full, one with armor and stat items, the other with weapons and charms etc. Yes, I too can pretty much set up for whatever the occasion requires.P.S. After the discussions about AAs I too have finally went to the Int line. I still think the Wis line is better then others here feel, but I do feel more DPS in a raid was the way for me to turn.Good post Jikko</div><p>Message Edited by clamdiper on <span class="date_text">05-25-2006</span> <span class="time_text">07:58 AM</span></p><p>Message Edited by clamdiper on <span class=date_text>05-25-2006</span> <span class=time_text>07:59 AM</span>

<P>I'd say that Agi is definitely my hardest. Depending on group setups I've had capped Str, Int, Wis, and (I think) Sta... But Agi is always WAY lower.</P> <P>I'm Int (4-4-<img src="/smilies/b2eb59423fbf5fa39342041237025880.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> and Wis (4-4-8-4) specced at the moment. Planning on Int (4-4-<img src="/smilies/b2eb59423fbf5fa39342041237025880.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> Wis (4-4-8-8-<img src="/smilies/b2eb59423fbf5fa39342041237025880.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> at end.</P>

<DIV>Yeah...AGI is on the bottom of the ladder definitely. It's nice to have, but I just about always forego it in favor of..well...everything else!</DIV>

<DIV>In raid format I usally get in a group with a illiusionist/templer/wizard/necro. So my int usally is at or close to max, plus I carry stacks of str and int potions which help in what ever I am lacking.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>The few times I've gotten to off tank (never been picked for MT duties) then a warden is thrown in the group and maybe a corecer for hate. We have like two mystics in our guild and no defilers so usually don't have one of them in my group.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I basicly have ignored Agi, due to the problems in aggro if the mob misses you. My stamina is over 400 in defensive gear plus wisdom is usually like 380. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>The main problem is if you have to switch from dps to tanking due to the different types of gear you need for each job, its a lot more difficult versuse hitting the offensive/defensive button</DIV>
