Well said Bockscar, So where do you think i would get the most out of this toon if say i never planned on raiding and it's just a casual fun alt to solo/group with, would it be into Str like snaggles suggested?

My human ranger sits around 200 str unbuffed. It’s really not an issue raising strength as a casual. And a shaman can easily give you 100+ strength at higher levels.

At 50+ 20 extra int is going to be like 200ish mana. This is going to allow you to fear kite longer(which you’ll almost certainly have to do) or last longer in a group setting before going oom and needing to med. Keep in mind too disease cloud aggro got nerfed so that extra mana is going to help with casting more of the expensive aggro spells in groups as well.

You’ll also get the peace of mind that if you do decide to raid, int will still be useful, whereas str will be capped with ease.

Besides very challenging solo kills, duels, etc having an extended range gas tank (to borrow Bock’s metaphor) isn’t very handy. I know in ToV on some long fights it might come in handy assuming you can tap through it. I’m thinking Jorl for example when heals are often scarce but 20 starting point is not going to fix that. Picking up the BiS gear you usually get mana, intel, and SV’s as well. All very nice but not the main drive of a knight for general use, IMHO.

It’s just a matter of picking what shortcoming will be most impactful or least annoying. Capping str is possible but asking a shaman for strength before Focus is humbling. Often you won’t get it. Likewise Stamina only goes so far so making it to around 205 is pretty important since getting hit is one of your main jobs.

I wish some stuff like Chokidai pauldrons also had some str and mana. If so they would likely cost 10x what they do now. For casual players who pick smaller knights and carry a bunch of junk having a decent amount of strength is a great quality of life perk. Running a bit slower than normal is annoying for a game that requires so much of it.

Also, sorry in advance as I post this a lot but it’s a DE with 20 points in Stamina and some decent tank gear. You can look at the main SK page and do some basic math to determine where a human would land with similar gear and your own point selection.

Human? Needs more STR

[elwing]

I didn't went full sta during creation, when I started raiding I regreted not going 20sta... But now, with some gear, I'd go full int, with Fos, sta,primal and raid gear it's almost not possible not being sta/dex capped...

Edit: also human knight of Lord Bertoxxulous.

I agree with this 100%. I’ve done 4 different sk builds. INT is key. Let the rest take care of themselves.

Merge agi into dex and have it actually work correctly for bows and channeling, that would fix most issues

Best thing you could do is start a warrior. Unless your only interested in pickup group xp

[greatdane]

I mean, if the guy doesn't raid, warrior is probably the very worst class in the game to pick. Warrior sucks ass in any context other than maintanking content that requires defensive.

Inb4 some war min maxer comes in saying to never pick a pally or sk over them in a group
