Should I reroll?

My stats are currently,

Str:18
Con:13
Dex:26
Int:13
Wis:13
Cha:18

I was wondering should I take 2 points from CHA to put into STR. Does anyone know if the damage bonus from STR is any better than the Combat Advantage from CHA?

    Stats look fine to me. I personally went a touch more "balanced" so I'm something like 21, 12, 21, 12, 12, 19, IIRC, but tbh, I don't see that the stat bonuses are all *that* huge.

    I should clarify that I'm going for a straight DPS build if that isn't apparent by my stats. I currently have 47.5% crit chance with only 1 rank 4 azure and T1 gear (soon to get t2 :D ). But I'm debating whether I need to put more stats into STR for overall dmg or split a point a piece for STR and CHA and enchant for a little extra crit to make up for a loss in my DEX.

    Thoughts?

    Depends. I'm 24 str 22 dex 14 cha. I can get to 50% crit chance via items + stone. After 50% crit chance is not that much of a difference since it will take all ur crit rating to reach 60% crit and 50% vs 55% not rly big difference. If u can get to 50% without crit rating just put rest into power and get more dmg... stat rolls just determine what u will slot ur gear for.. crit\power etc.

    ...

    i started yesterday as Half Orc (my Elve-TR sucks, was my first char, bad roll at the beginning). I started with

    18str
    12con
    18dex
    10int (well i dont want to play perma stealth...)
    10wis
    12ch


    End stats will be:
    24str
    14con
    24dex
    12int (well i dont want to play perma stealth...)
    12wis
    14ch
    No leaver penality in PvP!

    And here is the reason:

    How do you get those end stats? I'm assuming you went with 16 str, 16 dex with +2 to each from racial. But that leaves you with this starting roll:

    16 str, 16 dex, 12 cha, 10 wis, 10 con, 10 int.

    Unless I'm missing something you seemed to have started with two extra points?

    The damage bonus from Str would apply regardless of position. The damage bonus from Cha only applies when you have combat advantage (CA). So in terms of just dps, Str is better. But Cha affects other stuff as well. The damage bonus from either stat is a straight 1:1, so it's really just an issue of having to deal with CA.

    If you are trying to optimize for PvP, Str is better because you may not always have CA to work with. I don't think it matters in PvE.

    Yea, I figured, just wanted to be sure I didn't miss something.


    So anyways, I also made a Half Orc with the exact same stats. How does this Ability Point roll work in both PvP and PvE?


    Wouldn't be able to keep stealth up for very long at all with only 10 int to start with...that's the only problem with the build I take it?
