sk starting points

[Troxx]

If I had leveled up a character? Pretty sure I’ve leveled quite a few.

You are correct that most of your damage comes from your weapon and haste. I am glad we have found a thing to agree upon!

Are you not aware that your strength directly plays into that equation specifically regarding how much damage your hasted weapon does? It’s part of the napkin math man.

You of all should be able to appreciate napkin math.

If you agree that most of your damage comes from your weapon and haste, then you would need to show that +20 STR is giving OP enough of a DPS boost to overcome the extra mana you are receiving from INT.

You are making the claim that +20 STR is going to do this, so you need to prove it. As per usual, you are trying to get other people to prove the claims you are making.

Starting strength on an iksar sk is 80. Yikes!
Starting intelligence on an iksar sk is 85.

If this guy were rolling an ogre or troll my advice would be different.

My Gnome Warrior has 140+ STR with EC gear, and I didn't even focus on STR when picking his gear. This is without any Warrior specific clickie buffs. Gnome Warriors start with 60 STR. The reality is tank gear in Velious simply has a lot of STR on it, and you don't need 200+ STR to level.

Depends on race my gear is quite good and I'm still 4 points short on stamina. Even more if I use 1h instead of tuna sword for tanking. Not everyone wants to be an ugly ogre/troll.

4 points on STA is 21 HP on an SK.

I'll take 100+ mana over 21 HP any day of the week on an SK.

I mean specifically stamina. That's with me using sta on start still 4 short until bracer upgrade as a DE.

I wouldn't, 21 hp may make you survive your mana is pointless dead.

I wouldn't, 21 hp may save you

So could 100 mana. Life taps recover more than 21 HP, and FD will stop you from taking damage. Remember than SK FD costs mana, unless you are using BE Greaves.

If you are talking about raiding specifically, you can cap STA with any race in raid gear + buffs, so it doesn't really matter.
