Iskar SK - starting stats
 

Would it be a good idea to put 15pts in STA and 5 in INT starting off a new SK?

Looking over level 60 raid geared magelo blue characters,.. INT is the only stat you can't easily cap, that includes buffs from shaman/ench. Food for thought if you're planning to go that high.

avg people will say stam or dex or int for various reasons.
stam is life,. a small amount at 60
dex for procs
int for more mana

do not put any into STR or AGI or CHA.

Full stam.

INT if you're on pvp server

1 STA = 5.2 HP for SHD/PAL
So at level 60 that's 104 more hit points.
However 'more' effect can be nullified due to shaman buffs. Something to consider.

at 60 I believe with int less than 200 you get 12 mana per int.
Then any int after that is 50% less so 6..

at level 60 that's 240 more mana, Because let's be honest your INT is going to be under 200.

15 sta & 5 int at 60 would be. 78 life + 60 mana (if under 200 int)
Seems like OP split the difference lol

I don't think 12 mana per int is exactly correct.

I put all in str on my iksar sk, never regret it. but I mostly solo and never raid so I did it for extra damage and carry capacity.

Full STA
Int is really not that hard to get

I have a 55 non-main Iksar SK with better than average groubale/dropable/planar gear.

I went with DEX as I had pie-in-the-sky ideas of having a raid geared SK someday. DEX over 150 maxes a difference soloing. Max DEX would be a dream come true. Since that will likely never happen without NTOV gear, I can say with certainty that INT is the way to go.

With no clickable snare as an Iksar, you will find that mana is the single largest constraint on your class, whether grouping or solo. Any extra bump in mana is a boon. Even with a few nice high INT sky pieces, mana is always my constraint.

Dreams of a Greenmist keep me from re-rolling. Even if I had one, mana would still be my problem.

Delete Iskar and re-roll female Dark Elf for maximum fashion quest potential
