The Build Philosophy: Specialization vs Survival
At max level 15, you have exactly 45 stat points to distribute across 6 attributes: Strength, Agility, Precision, Mastery, Vitality, and Endurance. The most common mistake beginners make is spreading these points thin across multiple damage stats. Windrose's scaling system heavily rewards specialization: investing 25 points in Agility with a Greatsword will significantly outperform splitting 10/10 between Strength and Agility.
The community has converged on a "Toughguy Dip" meta for almost all builds: invest 3β5 points into the Toughguy talent tree early (specifically Marathon Runner for bonus Stamina) before committing to your damage tree. Stamina is the universal resource in Windrose β dodging, attacking, and sprinting all consume it. Running out mid-fight is a death sentence.
