I know agility in Classic raises dodge and crit, for both ranged and melee, and raises attack power for ranged. It also raises ap for melee by 1, where strength raises it by 2.
Like in BFA, warriors and paladins in Classic stack strength for ap. But Feral (and Guardian) druids, rogues, and Enhancement Shaman stack agility in BFA for ap: Should they stack strength in Classic? Does strength give them double the ap that they’d get from agility?
I can only speak on behalf of druids but you want to stack strength for DPS. I can’t recall but does agility raise AP for druids? I don’t believe so. I know crit/armor/dodge.
1 strength = 2 AP. 20 Agility was a +1% to both crit and dodge. 1 point of agility = 2 armor, but had no benefit from the armor multiplier.
Not sure about some of the others, but Rogues get 1 AP per point of agility and 1 AP per point of strength.
You still want to mostly stack agility as a Rogue, as agility gives you crit as well, and it strength is a bonus.
Classes varied on exact scaling from each stat. Like i think hunters was 52 agility per 1% crit. While ive already read 20 for 1% which would maybe be rogues?
20 agi is 1 crit for Warriors, whereas 30 is 1 crit for Rogues. Hunters is something like 50-60 yeah.
Pretty sure cat druids still received some AP from agility, but bear form gets no benefit.
Feral druid theorycrafters such as Shedo have proven agility is much more superior than strength for feral dps. And even for tanking, the extra crit and dodge probably make it slightly more desirable than strength. Just shows how much we have learnt since vanilla.
Don’t forget about hit…
Wtf is a guardian Druid?
