How long do you roll for good stats?

    Like Big B said, strategy is the most important thing, stats come second. The only thing you really need is a high score in your prime requisate. No matter what class I am, I usually get 16-18(depending on class) constitution, and 18-19 dexterity(depending on race) no matter what. These two things help you greatly; you won't get hit as often, and when you do, it won't hurt as much.

    I roll for at least 4-5 days, just to get any glimmer of good stats :D

    Rerolling is IMHO exactly the same as cheating. If you´re rerolling for more than 10 times it´s better, more efficient and faster to open up shadowkeeper and change the stats as you see fit.

    Therefore, I always only roll ´the dices´ once, no matter the stats.
    Remember it´s role-playing not roll-playing !
    If you like rerolling, buy a set of dice.

    Ok, ok I hear you about Roll-playing vs. Roleplaying, but I cannot help rerolling again and again for good stats. I want good stats but I'll be damned if I use shadowkeeper for a half-ass boost. I take pride in my 92-95's that I have rolled. What makes me laugh is the irony that my best rolls come on characters that don't need it; for instance a non-dual Human Invoker I made had my highest roll, 95, in his 5th roll. LoL :lol: You gotta love God for those curve balls he throws ya!

    ps. my 25th post :D

    [​IMG] Before this forum crashed a few weeks ago I started a solo Totemic Druid with the following stats: 6-6-6-6-12-15.
    This was to show that the stats your character has is of very little importance because of the shitload of stat enhancing items in the game.

    If someone wants me to I'll repost the post I made on my Totemic Druid.
