Wink sk starting points

Hey guys tonight I sat at the character creation screen for almost an hour trying to come up with a name for my new shadow knight well lets just say im going to try it again tomorrow after work. I am going to roll an iksar sk the question I have is where should I put my 20 starting points into. wiki says 10 str and 10 int just wanted to check here incase that info is outdated. I got a 60 monk and druid on server so I will have access to all or most of group content gear at level 1. Any input would be greatly appreciated. yes, im aware of the inate racial stat bonuses ogres and trolls have but Im a man of fun and lore and I really want to experience the green mist quest [You must be logged in to view images.

Sta if you’re just grouping/raiding.
Int if ya wanna min max.
dex for casual greenmist procs.

Int will serve you the best overall imo.

As Crede says, INT is the best stat for SK's on character creation. STR and STA are quite common on Velious era gear, but INT is less common on tank gear.

Int is just max mana though, and minimally relevant for most SK content where mana regen is the limiter. I'd hesitatingly recommend it for trolls and ogres maybe.

For an iksar, str or stamina is probably going to be more efficacious in the likely massive amount of time between being a fresh, twinked level 1 and actually capping those stats without buffs. Go int though if you're able to cap or close to cap with the gear available.

I would go stamina and get yourself a crown of narandi, int is just max mana and sustain is more important. Theoretically you will cap stamina but even a full time raiding main will take multiple years to do so

Max int all the way. Not even a tough decision. Youll see more long term use out of that than the extra 150hp youll have (without buffs, with buffs youll cap anyway).

Youll never max your int with buffs and bis. The rest of your relevant stats you will.
