Ok...so I'm trying to plan out a character and I realized that i don't know what all the stat categories do for your character. I'm fairly certain that strength affects your damage output. And agility seems to affect your accuracy and evasion. But what about Stamina? Does stamina equal vitality in FFXI? I guess intelligence controls magic effectiveness but i'm not sure. And what does spirit do?
Also, all races are supposed to be fairly good at the classes that are available to them. So how much do their stats affect them. For example: I noticed the dwarven rogue has high strength but low agility, does this mean that that they'll hit hard...if they ever hit? Does the low agility mean a dwarven rogue will hardly ever be able to land a hit?
I guess I'm just wondering if it's like FFXI where, if you're a Elvaan or Galka you have to spend a lot of money to be able to land a hit or if you're a Mithra you have to spend a lot for strength so you'll actually do damage when you hit.
Just wondering how vast the difference between races are in WoW. Any input will be helpful.
