Races versus Classes - Jarulf - 04-15-2004

I took some time to look at the startins stats of each race. It seems they are always the same regardless of gender and class. However, they DO vary with race. Since different stats are of different importance to different chars, picking the "right" combination could be of some improtance if one want to maximize ones ability (otherwise one just pick a cool combination). For example, intelligence, which determines your mana, is a complete waste to a warrior since they don't use man, while stamine, which increases mana and healt regeneration speed, is basically of need to all classes. So picking a warrior, one would want a race that has as low intelligence as possible (since total starting stat points are the same) but as high value as possible in good stats (strength although it is a low cost , see below, and a high stamina might be better since it costs a lot). Tauren with a starting strength of 25 (highest of all, intelligence of 20 (lowest of all) and stamina at 23 is really a very good warrior race. On the other hand, a gnome with a strength of 20 (lowest of all) an intelligence of 24 (highest of all) will really make a poor 8or at least worse) warrior. Similar argumentation can be done for other classes and races.

Also, with the new patch, some new things were introduced. Stats are now increased with skill points that one earn while fighting. every now and then, one gain a skill point. Those are then invested in stats. The base cost to increase a stat one point is 2 skill points. For the stat(s) that is of importance to the class, the cost is 1 (importance as determined by Blizzard) and for those not so, the cost is 3. Also, the maximum value one can buy to, increases with your level and might also depend on class and or race. For example, my Orc could still not buy any stat points at level 3, despite having skill points. A Night Elf I started just to check stats, could allready at level 1 buy a stat point (don't remember in what stat). I really can't tell for sure when and depending on what the max value increases though.

In any case, if anyone is interested, here are the starting values:

Code:
Â  Â  Â  Â  Â  Agi Â Int Â Spi Â Sta Â Str

Tauren Â  Â  19 Â  20 Â  22 Â  23 Â  25

Undead Â  Â  19 Â  23 Â  24 Â  23 Â  20

Orc Â  Â  Â  Â 20 Â  22 Â  23 Â  22 Â  22

Troll Â  Â  Â 20 Â  20 Â  24 Â  22 Â  23

Human Â  Â  Â 21 Â  21 Â  22 Â  22 Â  23

Dwarf Â  Â  Â 19 Â  20Â  23 Â  23 Â  24

Night Elf Â 24 Â  23 Â  21 Â  21 Â  20

Gnome Â  Â  Â 22 Â  24 Â  22 Â  21 Â  20

Stat costs are summarized below.

Code:
Â  Â  Â  Â  Â  Low cost Â  Â  Â  Â High cost

Paladin Â  Â Sta Â  Â  Â  Â  Â  Â  Agi

Warrior Â  Â Sta Str Â  Â  Â  Â  Int Spi

Rogue Â  Â  Â Agi Â  Â  Â  Â  Â  Â  Int Spi

Shaman Â  Â  Agi

Druid Â  Â  Â Agi

Mage Â  Â  Â  Int Spi Â  Â  Â  Â  Agi Str

Warlock Â  Â Int Spi Â  Â  Â  Â  Agi Str

Priest Â  Â  Int Spi Â  Â  Â  Â  Agi Str

Shouldn't code give font with same width of all chars?

Assuming that this hasn't changed with the new push, Stamina increases your maximum health whereas Spirit increases your health and mana regeneration.

You would think that CODE would use a fixed font. Courier is a fixed font, but then you lose the multiple spaces. This a bit crude, but lined up:

------------Agi Int Spi Sta Str
Tauren------019 020 022 023 025
Undead------019 023 024 023 020
Orc---------020 022 023 022 022
Troll-------020 020 024 022 023
Human-------021 021 022 022 023
Dwarf-------019 020 023 023 024
Night Elf---024 023 021 021 020
Gnome-------022 024 022 021 020

Ohh, I probably mixed them up then, writing from memory :)
