To point an Erudite caster to 75 agi is a waste of points, there's a ton of agi on caster gear.
Having a large mana pool isn't very important for a Mage, the HP are way more important.
Every single wiz on the server rides incredibly high over the INT softcap and those 25 INT points end up mostly wasted. 25 INT when youre over the softcap is barely 150 mana, which isnt even a full nuke. Sitting to catch med ticks will make up that lost mana easily.
People pay hundreds of thousands of plat for a Boneclasped Girdle to get 75 extra HP. 25 STA becomes 60Hp at lvl 60. People keep saying "oh its not that much" but it really is significant. HP really is the stat at the highest premium, and it keeps you alive. Each piece of +HP gear and a nice STA bonus at roll results in hundreds of extra HP at lvl 60. Those who say its not worth it to wear HP and STA gear lose hundreds of HP only for a couple hundred more mana, which is barely a full nuke, and only two or three Fetters. It really doesn't make much sense.
The int caster point allocation suggestions on the wiki aren't that great.
