Do I need to maintain all 3 stats?

I'm very new. I have a level 14 marauder and have found that I can't use some of the blue & green gems I've been using anymore due to low Dex/Int.

Does it make sense, as a Marauder, to stack a little bit of Dex/Int on gear or in skills?

You should only stack exactly as much to equip your gear and gems unless you use some kind of unique that scales off of an attribute.

keep in mind strength boosts life and phys melee damage, dex bossts accuracy and evasion, int boosts mana and energy shield. You want as much as you need for equipment/gems and then focus on whichever stats are relevant for your defense/attack.

Thank you. I appreciate the feedback. The customization of this game is incredible and exactly what I've been looking for for a long time now. My Marauder (warrior archetype) has been casting fireballs, placing totems, using a shield, and even casting frost walls... all at the same time!!!

Yup, extra attributes for the stats you want are always welcome, they just tend to come in lower values than direct bonuses to the stats, so they're usually lower priority. Once you've got the direct bonuses sorted out, though, extra attributes give you a nice little boost of power.

All three attributes have pretty universally useful skill gems associated with them, so I usually end up getting about 100 of my off attributes on each character (about 250 to 300 of main attribute).

I did end up making a Duelist that had 14 int all the way up to level 82 in Open Beta, though :p

good point; focus is probably too strong a word.
