I actually disagree with the statement above. Ranges users can beat str users, it's all how the user trains.

And res is a harder stat to train. Let's just say you don't train it and have the best armor you can have without training it (Secure-Coat Longcoat), and I train it and have a SIC. If we have the same stats, we may stale, the Sic might win, either way the person with a SIC is going to do more damage since they resist more. You may not see the effects of res now at your level. But I guarentee you you'll see it when you start leveling up and start fighting people with better armor than you.

As for the original question, I personally keep my stats above my level. Or I try to.
