listen closely-ONLY MELEE characters need str stat points. other chars dont because they are casters and need huge amounts of life to survive (no leech or life tap). hammerdins are to have base str and only enough dex to max block. all the other points go into vitality. sorcs dont need str because they can use low req eqiptment and str bonus items. energy is also retarded to invest in. why even make that an option for d2 characters to invest stats in? Eth and non eth hotos are the same in value to me because i have equiptment with bonuses (torch/anni and other such items). dont screw up your characters just to use a hoto at level 55-wait a few levels til enigma and shako and anni and torch-then invest ur stat points. i dont use stat points until level 75. you will regret not having enough life when u keep on dying.
