You can still hit 201 INT with an Iksar in EC gear and free rot drops while also focusing on HP. A Necro can easily farm the money for this stuff just by killing guards while leveling.
Casters get 2.4 HP per STA, and 5.5 Mana per INT (over 200) at level 60. With 25 STA/5 INT on starting stats, you are looking at +60 HP vs. +138 Mana before you cap your INT with buffs and slightly better gear. After you cap INT you are getting +60 HP instead of +0 Mana.
