Fixstatting at cap - elf warrior

[tyvorheas]

Hey all, asked this on discord and got some great responses but since I'm not in a hurry I thought I'd bring it up here. Elf Warrior, using THW at the moment but will be ambush hunting with an ECW trident/shield (RP reasons) after DR with some mstriking. Just got my 1m BP, and had set my stats for ~65ish IIRC. Was trying to get peoples opinions on final stats.

Appears two major final stat options:

Option A) - Max stats

Start Level 100
STR P 45 99
CON S 73 100
DEX 20 90
AGL 58 100
DIS 82 100
AUR M 73 100
LOG 88 100
INT 70 98
WIS M 82 100
INF 68 100

Pros - Influence for Warcries, leaving no stats based on growth off the table, Agi/Dex is still 4s reduction to max out on RT reduction

Option B) Dex 100

Start Level 100
STR P 49 100
CON S 73 100
DEX 48 99
AGL 58 100
DIS 82 100
AUR M 73 100
LOG 88 100
INT 70 98
WIS M 82 100
INF 37 84

Pros - But dexterity is op....., Elf influence means that I wont be that bad at warcries anyways.


Any thoughts in general?

Dex and agility are prime stats for many things. Easier to pump influence with enhancives

Don't tank DEX or INF as a warrior. INF is too important for warcries. INT is a good option to tank for a warrior. The only relevant system impacted by low INT is SMRv2, and because of the diminishing returns effect, there isn't much difference between ~85ish INT and 100 INT. There's a HUGE difference though between 100 INF and 84 INF. You'll want that +20 AS bonus (not to mention all the other warcries).

Hmmm

So if I do option a) i've maxed my growth to 988 stat points

option b) puts me at 981

option c) puts me at 980

Level 0 Level 100 Bonus
STR P 49 100 25
CON S 73 100 25
DEX 48 99 29
AGL 58 100 40
DIS 82 100 10
AUR M 73 100 30
LOG 88 100 25
INT 39 81 15
WIS M 82 100 25
INF 68 100 35

These latest stats look good with tanked inf and everything else at 100 (Dex at 99).

I would focus more on what you want the individual stats to be and not worry about if you have the exact highest total overall stat points you can.

I would look at some different options. You're fixstating at cap, so suffering at low levels isn't an issue. The same applies to TPs: you've reached cap, and the delta on the TPs will mean less and less, because from here on out it's 2 TPs every 2500 EXP. You're going to get to the point where the extra TPs pre-cap won't matter as your focus on how you improve yourself shifts away from skills and towards other things. Those short stats in primary categories for a warrior are going to drive you bonkers. So think about stats you can tank that have less impact. Consider setting AURA at less than 100 for example. Put it at 96 and you still have 10 spirit. Ultimately you will want all your physical skills at 100.

One last thing. Ascension. You might consider waiting to see how ascension allows for post-cap stat growth. Wait a few months to fixstat.
