This. Furthermore, a lot of people have companions that need the same stats. In the group I usually run with, the companions we all use most ALL want cunning, so me hitting need while others greed is, well, greedy.
As a result we agreed this: if you need you need, if your pet needs you greed, if you don't need you pass.
Anyway, ask your group. No servertranfers or crossrealmshit to clear you of a ninja reputation.
