Starting stats for troll SK?

Yep, that was it. Knew it was something like that.

Lune is correct.

I play a troll sk. Put nothing into STR, it's very easily capped. In Kunark it's very hard to cap on stamina because SK gear usually doesn't have any (like all our sky gear). So putting as much as you can into stamina is 1 option. At 60 that extra 20 sta will turn out to be like 100 hp and it's far less at lower levels, so it's not a big deal.

Your main agro abilities cost 10 and 20 mana. In groups you won't come even close to running out of mana if you have a chanter or a bard. Or even if you have someone else pulling for you and no mana regen, you still wont run out of mana. You can definitely run out of mana if you're pulling and tanking and have no mana regen. But that will happen regardless of an extra 20 int. Imo putting points into int is pretty much a waste.

The better option is dex I think, vamp embrace and weapon procs, plus it's the hardest to cap in velious. It's not a great option but it's better than the others imo. I'm not sure how much AC or avoidence you would get from putting points into agility but that might be an option too. I'd look into it at least.

As you all can't seem to agree on much, the general consensus is he needs to decide what his playstyle is going to be. Since there is no right way to go, you can shoot down any idea in favor of your own. Kind of how I shoot down 20 sta because it's only 76 HP at level 60.

I solo a lot, so more mana is better for me. Hell, put the points into CHA so you can sell your phat loot for more.

I thought Cha was broken on here for selling?? I know you are kidding but I think Dex and Sta way to go.

if you're hard, and you're plannin on playin the slowest leveling class/race in the game, so you should be hard, you'd put the points into the least useful stat (wis) and go rock hard all the way to the top, you don't need no BONUS points, (to go even harder go iksar)
