Turn based stats?

[Naughtydread]

Hi, I am a new player and am wondering which stats are most important in a turn based game. I searched the internet but have become more confused.

 

Please assist!

A wizard.

Someone told me that DEX is a dump stat. I think it determines turn order which is of paramount importance in turn based mode. Any thoughts?

I wouldn't use DEX for a dump stat, especially for a caster.  It does influence turn order, but also effects cast time. A low DEX caster is going to be easier to interrupt and have a harder time targeting their AOE spells (theres no spell re-targeting in turn based).

Thanks all!

You're going to want to max Perception, Intelligence, and Might.  I still dump dex on my wizards in turn based since they can cast Fleet Feet as a free action and you'll most likely Be wearing the Firethrower's Gloves for 2 more dex.

Constitution is important for a Blood Mage, but less important for any of the other wizards.
