The verdict is pretty much that Fortitude is the strongest NAD, Reflex is about a point or so lower, and Will is the weakest. For that reason powers that target Fortitude are sometimes seen as inaccurate.
But that was based on an analysis of MM1. D&D is not a static game, and WotC can learn from its mistakes. So I've spent some time checking the 322 stat blocks of the MM2 and came up with the following results:
* 39 monsters have a Fort and Ref that are equally high.
* 134 monsters have a Ref that is higher than their Fort.
Which leaves 149 monsters where the traditional mantra holds true. Still, only 46%. For the other 54% targeting Fortitude is not a poor choice.
Just some food for thought.
