What is Optimal Stat Placement

[Hammok]

what do people mean when they say their stats are optimal placement for growth?
it means all their stats are closest to 100 as possible when they get capped?
is it beneficial to have this?
Do people level up with dfferent stats then reassign them when they get capped?

I view it as 2 options pertaining to stat placement for long term (level 100) benefits.

1. Setting stats to grow and cap at level 100.

2. Setting stats to grow that will optimize maximum TP allottments.

Some prefer #1. Some perfer #2.

I'm in the group with the latter.

im a question number 4, my stats are currently set for optimal TP's for now and when i cap i fully intend on using fix stat simply to balance him and give him the closest to all 100s as possible

That is a LOT of bounty points that you'll have to be earning.

Bounty points that can be directly linked to silver and dollar values. Assuming prices remain the same, 40m for a fixstat potion is $400; almost half of what the newly capped character is worth.

If you get to cap with wonky stats, chances are you'll survive the post cap with it too.

Correct. However, I've played this game off and on for almost 8 years now. Never have done more than play the game. As in never bought or sold anything for money. Always earned my silvers, etc. Bounty points aren't that big of a deal to me. i mainly only use them for disks anyways. Currently I only have 300,000 or so bounty points but am only level 76 so there is plenty of time to earn the points. Even if its post cap when i hit that spot just a preference I have, id rather see all stats at 100 except Inf than selling the points

If you're capped, or absolutely sure you will be playing PAST cap, max stats are the way to go IMO.

[Renian]

In my opinion, I think one should still take the route of maxing out TPs and then using the BPs they have accumulated to get a fixstats.

Just because you can get $400 with the fixstats potion instead does not mean you are maximizing your long run total utility by doing so. But that argument can be made moot if you script hardcore and are just grinding an alt, not a main. This is especially true with empath gimps.
