world of warcraft Character Attributes

World of Warcraft Gold Store, Open 24/7. We strives to offer the fast and reliable service on the web for all your wow gold needs.

Attribute Effects

For your reference, the attributes are Strength, Agility, Stamina, Intellect, and Spirit. Though all of this information may change during beta testing, these are the effects of the stats as they stand:

Strength	Adds to your Attack Power, Damage-Per-Second (DPS). Strength does not affect Critical Hit chances at all. Strength does not improve your chance to block, but rather the amount blocked when you succeed. This amount is determined in part by Strength (and the other part by your shield).
Agility	Increases all characters' chance to Critical Hit. The amount of the bonus is higher per point on Rogues than other classes. Agility affects dodge. Rogues get more Dodge per point of Agility than other classes. Agility adds directly to Defense.
Stamina	Increases Health points.
Intellect	Increases Mana points as well as chance to Critical Hit with magic spells. Intellect also grants a higher chance to increase melee skills. (It does not affect trade skills though.)
Spirit	Increases Health and Mana regeneration. Spirit affects all characters' Mana and Hit Point regeneration rates in and out of combat. Spirit also increases your chance to 'proc' with weapons.

Base Character Attributes

Starting character stats in the World of Warcraft can not be changed before or after character creation. Each race has around 100 base attribute points which are distributed among the five attributes as shown by the following table:

Base Stats
	Strength	Agility	Stamina	Intellect	Spirit	Total
Dwarf	22	16	23	19	19	99
Gnome	15	23	19	24	20	101
Human	20	20	20	20	21	101
Night Elf	17	25	19	20	20	101
Orc	23	17	22	17	23	102
Tauren	25	15	22	15	22	99
Troll	21	22	21	16	21	101
Undead	19	18	21	18	25	101

Orange indicates the race with the highest value for the specified stat.
Green indicates the race with the lowest value for the specified stat.

Note that Humans receive a +5% racial bonus to Stamina and Gnomes receive a +5% racial bonus to Intellect. For simplicity, these bonuses are reflected in the table above, although they are not actually calculated until after the class and level bonuses are added.

Health and Mana Calculations

Starting Health and Mana are determined by Stamina (Health), Intellect (Mana), and a class base.

Health

When a character is first created, Health is calculated using the following equations. Each point of Stamina translates to 10 points of Health (signified by the 10 in the equations).

If Stamina is less than 20:

Health = BaseHealth + (Stamina - 20)

If Stamina is greater than or equal to 20:

Health = BaseHealth + 10 * (Stamina - 20)

where BaseHealth varies according to class.

Class	BaseHealth	Dwarf	Gnome	Human	Night Elf	Orc	Tauren	Troll	Undead
Druid	54	-	-	-	53	-	78	-	-
Hunter	46	86	-	-	46	76	80	66	-
Mage	52	-	51	52	-	-	-	62	62
Paladin	38	88	-	58	-	-	-	-	-
Priest	52	82	-	52	51	-	-	62	62
Rogue	45	85	45	55	45	75	-	65	65
Shaman	47	-	-	-	-	77	81	67	-
Warlock	43	-	43	53	-	73	-	-	63
Warrior	40	90	50	60	50	80	84	70	70

Red indicates the race/class combo with the highest health.
Orange indicates the race with the highest health for the specified class.
Green indicates the race with the lowest health for the specified class.
White indicates the race/class combo with the lowest health.

Note: Tauren receive a +5% racial bonus to their health, which is reflected in the table above. For more information about racial bonuses, see the Races page.
