The problem here is you simply assume that saying "you don't know what you are talking about" is a valid argument. It isn't.
I can back up my arguments with facts, while you haven't.
When comparing INT to STA, you can see how much you get from both. STA gives you 104 HP at 60, and INT gives you roughly 220 mana under 200 INT.
A level 30 SK is getting 52 HP from the STA, and roughly 110 mana from the INT. 110 mana translates to 56 HP via one Lifedraw + Life Spike, and you still have 20+ mana. Statistically the INT is helping you more while leveling.
INT is factually harder to cap once you hit 60 compared to STA and STR.
I can show you the tangible benefits at all level ranges.

See I'm beginning to doubt you're even reading or understanding my posts because you're ignoring or failing to comprehend what I've said. I'm not making any argument about what things are like at 60 with capped stats. OP is extremely unlikely to ever reach that point.
Yes your argument is based on facts, as is mine, but that doesn't make you correct, because the conclusions you are drawing from those facts are all wrong. You're telling some dude who wants to roll an iksar SK to play around with a Greenmist to put all his points into INT because at 60, raid-buffed and raid-geared, he's going to cap his STR and STA, and in that situation INT provides a damn near negligible benefit. Greater INT when leveling only translates to HP IF YOU RUN OUT OF MANA *and* cast the spells, because it's not sustain. Greater HP is going to keep you above the "Oh shit" threshold on a larger portion of fights and potentially preclude you from ever casting inefficient lifetaps in the first place.
You're additionally ignoring the fact that STR is going to help him do more damage 100% of the time while leveling, increasing XP, ending fights more quickly, and saving spells from ever having to be cast, while greater INT has a few fringe benefits in survivability, and you have to cast spells to realize the translation from mana to HP. Furthermore, that you believe Shralok Packs are going to keep an iksar from getting encumbered when stuffed with fine steel and other heavy junk tells me you've never played a nerd race.
