I do not think those few stat points "Make or break a fight" in the slightest. A better build will always beat a worse one. Equipment and Class composition will always beat raw stats, especially in the diminishing return area.

A better build with better stats will usually beat a better build without better stats. Stats are a part of that 'better build' comment. You wouldn't leave 7 points uninvested in your stat screen and call your build a good one.
