A pit in my stomach

[Vokhine]

First off I love this server and I love my Necro. However I'm almost level 24 and I can't help but wonder if I messed up my starting stat allocation. I'm rolling an erudite necro (I know Iksar are gtfo but I'm casual and don't feel like dealing with the exp penalty). Anyway I put 25 points into intelligence and 5 into strength for carrying phat lewts. I'm now reading that I should have put 25 into intelligence and 5 into stamina or split it 50/50. How much will this affect me down the road? I've heard mixed things. I really don't want to reroll but I do feel like it would help with lich. I've also heard raw HP is better than stam for silk classes. What do you guys think? :eek:

Won't make much of a difference. Caster gains from stamina are pretty terrible--I mean, we get it, but 99% of the time you're just gonna choose the hp/mana/resists gear over stat gear anyway if it's not on the same piece once you're post 200 int.

That said, as a necro, that iksar regen is pretty tangible. Buuuut our BOTB necro was a gnome, so just play well and you'll do fine :P

[Uuruk]

probably should reroll, those 10 hp will make all the difference.

Don't sweat it, as mentioned casters draw like maybe 2hp per stam, totally not worth it. Just shoot for hp gear like squallsurge shawl and the black diamond shit.

...can't tell if you are being serious :confused:

Well honestly hp and mana gear is more of a pre raid endgame gear choice to shoot for. Just go int while leveling and worry about it later. For instance pre 50 I had like 240 int, once I hit 60 I used all of my plat on mana gear, now I'm at 200 int (the softcap) with just about 3.1k mana.

[Vokhine]

Ok perfect thanks for the advice!!!:D:D:D

I don't know how anyone killed any mobs in 1999 without this wow-player cookie-cutter-build mentality we have today. :confused:

Don't reroll over 5 sta, that's like 15hp

[Obrae]

Don't make an iksar shm. You'll get random /tells telling you how bad your race decision was.

[Bardalicious]

Someone please make a gearscore addon for P99. Maybe something that can take into account where people spent their starting points too.

I need to keep the riffraff out of my crushbone groups.

[Whirled]

iksar = master race tho
/thread or carry on

[Tankdan]

Dont worry about it

[Champion_Standing]

Actually you should have put 5 points into agility. but get a golden chitin bracer and forget about it.

Pretty much this, tbh.

[fastboy21]

Don't reroll over the 5 stamina...

Reroll because you picked Erudite!...

Seriously, why would anyone play anything other than a gnome?

[Vokhine]

I can't tell if the 10 hp thing is a joke or not...What is the logic behind it?

He's a little off but...

At level 60, 5 more stamina will give you a whopping 12 extra HP. So no, it's not worth rerolling. As I said before you actually need to be more concerned with your agi being below 75, as you incur a significant AC penalty below that. Don't reroll tho, just be on the look out for one of these (http://wiki.project1999.com/Golden_Chitin_Bracer) as you level up.

Ok i'll try to make it my first buy! Thanks again Champion!

I wouldn't put a massive priority on it, there are a lot of other cheap items that will offer you more benefit overall. I have a 28 or 29 erudite necro and I think the AC drop from taking off my bracer is around 45 or so, which is a good percentage of what he's got. You are a caster though and won't be taking many hits either way, but it can make a difference.
