Base Stats

Understand Strength, Agility, Stamina, Intellect, and Spirit stats in World of Warcraft: Midnight. Learn how each stat affects your character and pet.

Strength primarily increases melee attack power. Warriors, Death Knights (DKs), feral Druids, and Paladins gain 2 Strength per point, while all other classes gain 1. Strength also improves block value if you can equip a shield and boosts DKs' parry rating.

Agility affects attack power, critical strike rating, armor, and dodge. For Warriors, Hunters, and Rogues, Agility provides ranged attack power. Hunters, Rogues, Shamans, and cat Druids also benefit from Agility for melee attack power. All classes receive critical strike rating, armor, and dodge bonuses from Agility.

Stamina grants 10 health points per point, with the first 20 points only providing 1 health point each.

Intellect provides 15 mana points per point, with the first 20 points only providing 1 mana point each. Intellect also improves spell critical strike chance and can be used to quickly level up weapon skills.

Spirit increases health and mana regeneration. While the effectiveness of Spirit diminishes relative to your level, caster classes can utilize specific foods and potions to achieve faster regeneration. Unless you have talents or skills that specifically rely on Spirit, investing in it beyond its base regeneration benefits is generally not recommended.

Note: Most of these stat benefits also apply to your pet if you have one.
