I strongly disagree with DeathsSilkyMist's "super" min/max of +15 int for an erudite sk. You'll be living hell in classic/kunark.
If you roll ogre/troll, yes +15 int is fine. But we're talking Erudite, the highest base int race in the game..
You'll want that STA on your Erudite SK, Regardless of shaman buffs and gear. The more base STA you have, the easier it will be to fill in other items such as +HP and +Mana
Which you otherwise would be debating on for a piece of gear with +sta
Don't forget to mention that if you're geared up in Resist gear, you'll still have that creation +sta working in your favor for hp.
If you really want to get into the "super" min/max. There is a healthy balance between stats and raw +hp/mana gear. Make a magelo on the wiki or look at other SK's Magelo
Bug report in the works for putting a massive flat cap on mana gained after 200 int/wis. So I wouldn't be banking on hitting 255 int, you'll only gain 55-110-165 more mana for that 55 int.
