Here is what I have discovered.

100 Endurance is good for a number of reasons, but it depends on what your
goals are, and what shortcomings you want to put up with.

Using TL template, you get to survive against monsters more. You can take
just abut anyone your level in the early levels since you have a ton more
health than most. You start out very strong, and leveling is easy.

The other extreme template that many agree is better is this

100
10
100
100
10
10

You now have amazing quickness, super high melee defense and no health at
all. What this means is that your early levels just completly suck. You die
to anything, you lie down all the time, you get killed by every PK out
there.

However, in the later going, you are faster than other warriors, get more
hits in, have higher melee defense, and get loot rights a lot more often. AT
the much higher levels, like 25+.

If wants to have an easy road to leveling, then TL template is the way to
go. If wants to be able to stand toe to toe with people and take lightning
bolt 5 in the face and laugh, then TL template is the way to go. If he wants
to be able to fend off attacks and beat them away, TL template is the way to
go.

If he wants to be more powerful in the latare levels, the TL template is not
the way to go. If he doesn't mind a rough early road, and wants to be able
to catch people that run away then the other template is the way to go. If
he wants to take a lightbolt 5 in the face at level 30 and run off and heal,
then the other way is the way to go.

I get frustrated that I cannot catch PK's who are my level running away from
me.

But I have to remember that they are running away because I was able to
stand toe to toe with them and have more hit points.More stamina.

I made a dagger fighter the other day with starting health of 25 and I
didn't like it. But I know I would at later levels proably.

Conventional opinion says that

100
10
100
100
10
10

is the best template for anyone using a weapon other than dagger or bow.

But the most important thing to know is that

100
?
100
?

is the best.

Always start with STR and 100 COORd if your main weapon is based off of
those stats.
