It's difficult to tell which stats are used most by Druids. Unlike other classes, we seem to use all of our stats where other classes seem to only use a few (eg. Warrior using STR, AGI, STA and skip INT) During a battle we are fighting (using STR and AGI), taking damage while meleeing (STA), casting (INT) and wanting to reduce downtime (SPR). Our MoTW seems to prove this by enhancing all our stats instead of just one like the Mage buff.

I've found one of the best combos for equiptment is to keep everything balanced out like our MoTW does. We can not afford to have any of our stats drastically low or else performace suffers greatly. (eg: If AGI is ignored you will have a whif-fest. If STA is ignored you wont be able to take much without wasting mana. If INT is ignored you wont have enough mana to waste. etc.etc.) We are doing many things at a time and we need to be spread out Stat wise to cover our bases.

What you chose for stats may depend on play style as well. If you are a Feral Combat follower then you can focus on STR, AGI and STA and give INT a backseat. Likewise if you find you are mainly in caster form and cast a lot, then INT and SPR will be beneficial to you because of the higher amount of criticals you will pull off.

I can tell you firsthand that INT is HUGELY beneficial for those Druids that have chosen the Balance talent tree. After you get 5/5 in the talent Vengence you will want as many critical hits from casts as possible. INT helps you do that.

Well, I look for stats in this order- INT, SPR,mana,STA,AGI,STR,health.

I'm an enchanter, so I can give my armor MP or HP+ effects.

Just because i look in this order doesn't mean that is all i get. If I have alot of INT+ but almost no STR+, i'll try to look into getting more STR (as long as it doesnt damage INT)

I _think_ each point of stamina gives 10 health, and i'm pretty sure INT gives more mana, like 15 or so. But I could be wrong.

So if you have a choice between 5 health and 1 stamina, get the stamina. Just something to keep in mind ^^

And as a last note, the rulebook says our main stats are INT,SPR,STA
