As someone who plays a troll sk and solod quite a bit, do NOT put points into INT. All points into STA, try to get AGI to 75 or suffer the ac penalty. STR gear comes easily, and unless I started a fear kite low on mana, I wasn't going to run out. You'll be medding up a fair bit between pulls and having the extra hp regen as a troll is invaluable. More INT would help, but not nearly as much as having more hp, cuz mobs are going to break fear and you're going to want to survive it. Also, there's plenty of gear with INT on it later on. I was very poorly geared during much of my soloing and the extra hp was more important to me than any other stat, both for survivability and efficiency.

Yep. This.

75 Agi, rest Stamina.

Troll SKs start with 83 agi before points adding in, are you thinking of ogres?

Hopefully with fear kiting you'll have a rough idea how long it'll be before you need to recast fear/darkness. More int = more lifetaps too, if that situation arises.

I think he means you need to have 2 more into Agi IF you are going to equip a Fungi?? Seems like you would have maybe one item with + Agi on it??

Yeah I just didn't remember the exact starting stats of trolls, it's been like 3 or 4 years since I rolled mine (still my main - I take breaks often). The extra INT can get you more mana for lifetaps, but if you had that extra hp already you wouldn't need to waste mana on a very inefficient spell. Yes, learning to time your spells to ensure you get hit as little as often is important, but when you're pushing for efficency, a resist can mean you take a few hits. Extra hp also means you have a higher chance of making it to a zoneline, FDing, or just plain surviving if anything goes wrong.
