><P><FONT SIZE=2>Bah!  I put all my points into Agil and did all my gear based
on agil because it was the theory of the week.  Massive Disadvantage?  Now STR
is the theory of the week.  My monk is now level 40 and I don't see any big
differences between me and the other monks who went all str.  Sure now I'm putting
some STR gear on, but leaning heavily towards AC and MR.</FONT></P>

- how would you even notice?   What "Massive Disadvantage" could you have possibly
uncovered?  Face it, As much as Verant would like us to believe stats are worthwhile,
I think in their addiction to "Balancing" the classes they don't really mean
squat.</FONT></P>

Ok, only thing I notice about level 20 compared to level 19, is maybe one damage,
I do group with higher level monks (alt is 40) and they seem to go all with
str, and screw the weight restriction, IE many of them wear Treeweave. My weight
is 14, and thats only because I carry enuf plat to hold me over food/drink wise
for life. If you have read the recent posts, you would see that no one seems
to like agility, and say strength and AC is the way to go..... Im not saying
this is true, just what I have noticed, I really wish AGI had as much of an
affect that I had hoped, with 152 as my current, but it does not, (I still dont
see why Dodge/block are not affected by agility, they really should be, and
it would save me from having to trash my monks full plat jewlery)
