Dear Trespasser and crazy statistics people out there

[Jizzhut]

Hi Trespasser and anyone out there that's crazy with statistics! I have played a lot of characters over 4 years I could say I understand a lot of the game's mechanics. This is something I posted here sometime ago:

I don't want to go into discussing how stats work because I would need to write at least 20 pages to explain half of it but you ask for it so I'll talk about it a little. 7 agil is worth more than 7 stam. Stam is considered the gimped stats because it is universal. When blizzard give end game items its stats, all the epic items with the same item level will have the same "stats points." So how do they make cloth epics, mail epics, leather epics, and plate epics equal? They assign every stats a point value. If you can get blizzard's calculator and add up every single ulduar 10 man non heroic items, they all close or equal in term of "stats point." It is impossible for me to know how they assign stats point but you can guess it by looking at gems. Look at the end game epic gems right now for example. You noticed that the stam gems is 30 while all the other epic gems are only 20 while spell power gem is 23. This is not just for epic gems. It is for all gems with the same level. In other words they are assigning values to gems and gears like such: Let's pretended that str is 1 points. Agility, spirit, and intellect are also one point. However stam is only .66 repeating points. Spell power is about .85 points. Other stats such as arp, dodge rating, and such are all worth one point. This is just me trying to tell you why agil is worth more than stam. I might be totally wrong too so ha prove it!

The reason why I am copying it to you is I need your help. I saw a lot of your calculation and I will admit I was amazed by your statistic skill and I don't get amazed by many stuffs at all. What I want to know is that is there anyway we can calculate if what I said it indeed true or at least prove it false. I have played for almost 5 years and I have always balance my character base on the fact that 1 stam is only worth 66 percent of all the other stats. I have never really experience it with spirit and right now I am building a warrior. But I want to calculate str vs stam at 19 and what they are valued for a warrior. I know blizzard had to do so much calculation in order to keep stats balance at every level. In this case we are looking at level 19 stats. My build has always been to gain the most stats. I mean stats as in all int, spirit, crit, hit, mp5, etc so it is important if somehow we can calculate this. I have tried to calculate it and stuff but I don't even know how to start and differential equation and vector calculus doesn't help me right now at all. This is all statistics so I thought you guys would be the guys to ask.

PS: Don't flame me I lost my dog last night to the grim reaper.

There is a lot I want to explain but it's getting kind of late (1:37AM here) so I will try to explain the entire stats distribution on items tomorrow when I get up and edit this post.

In the old days i geared with a ratio of 6:1 agi to stam and 4:1 AP to stam
Now I gear 5:1 for agi and AP to stam. Honestly, you only need stam for midfield and a rogue should spend most of his/her time in the bases.
