For each starting class, if you add up all the stats EXCEPT resistance, then subtract the level, you get the exact same value of 71. But starting resistance varies from 8 (Sorcerer) to 12 (Wanderer and Pyromancer). So the classes with higher resistance could be considered "better" because they get "free" resistance in relation to their level.
