Iskar SK - starting stats

I'd suggest INT tho I do like the dex arguement.

Dont bother with str/stm....10-20 extra str/stm isnt going to be close to the effect you get out of int/dex.

Iksars have very balanced starting stats...and their epic (bless your soul if you get one) has one of the best procs you'll get on any weapon in the game.

I personally would put all my points in to int, because mana is everything on a hybrid...without it we're just a wet noodle dps.

Like the other person said having an extra 200 mana by default at level 60 carries more value than hitting for marginally more damage.

I would only consider dex if I knew for certain I was going to get the sk epic.

Meant to add this:

People always play to the warrior side of hybrids...and it baffles me because that is the weakest side of a hybrid. Our power is within our spells and mana pool. Not some diddly squat extra hp or hitting slightly harder.

I went str/agi like an idiot. Learned my mistake by realising mana counted on hybrids.

Sorry to whoevers anon alt you are, better luck next time..

That's alot of good gear.

You'd have to be a red99 raider or top tier blue raider to attain even half of that.

True, almost none will ever have this gear set, but a lot of people want to spend starting points optimally as if they were going to have it for warm fuzzies

Join red and you could get most if it. Just be willinf to raid 30+ hours a week for your chance at some if the key pieces.

Better to be a hobbit than be a two bit ho.

what did you call my druid... just because I take her out and let her get paid for helping others travel the world doesn't mean she is what you said.... I often get more then just 2 bits.. so I guess she is a high priced escort. Ya know just in it to provide companionship but some folks are just in a hurry to get off to their final destinations and only spend moments with her, leaving her time to get cleaned up for the next client(s) -- I mean she has the capacity to take on 5 others at once but usually doesn't get a full boat as she respects the time of others and you know what they say....

Based on the profile there... with dex only at 186 .. wouldn't that suggest you could put some of the points here instead of int, based on the arguement that int past 200 give reduced increase. Now I can say yes, as others have pointed out mana is a nice thing to have, but proc is so much fun too at times... those warm spell glows make you feel all fuzzy on the inside? OH wait I meant to say about others pointing things out is that this level of gear is a total pipe dream and well it should only take I don't know nearly forever to get it especially with raid scene of 99 as it stands. -- Long live the rand on loot or that DKP master pool. Wait how were we doing loot again? Last FD'er standing, clickfest, rand to sell loot rights, um so many different things purposed across the forums I lost count.
