Iksar Shadow Knight Starting Stat Points - PvP

[DonJuan835]

Coming back to the game after 10 years, and I have decided to try the hardest road, an Iksar Shadow Knight.

I am insanely OCD about my starting points, and I am trying to decide what is best. On the wiki, it says 10str/10int. After that, it says Realistic/Modern statistic allocation: 20sta.

I have read some of the forum posts, but they don't specifically mention Iksar or PvP.

I am curious, is the 20sta the correct option for an Iksar on a PvP server? Any help is appreciated, thanks!

there is not cap to hit points, that is why for PVP, stamina is recommended.

20 sta for roughly 110 more hp at level 60, however stamina isn't very hard to cap anyway

20 dex for slightly higher proc rate and higher hit rate in PvP

20 int for more mana

i would go dex or int

In live eq the way to go was stamina.

Maybe dex here since Colgate knows his stuff. I never heard that stamina was easy to cap before tho.

Go ogre and put all points to wisdom?

wat?

Depends if you plan on having shaman buffs up most of the time or not.

[Colgate]

int is the min/max stat

stamina is much easier to cap than everything except for strength

Really it depends on the "to hit" coding that supposedly takes into consideration AGI. Something along the lines of if your DEX > their AGI you have a better chance to hit. Otherwise if their AGI > your dex you miss more often. I'd have to see the exact formula and do some math but it could be very well worth investing points into. DEX/INT/STA would be a safer bet though as the AGI thing could go away if found to be unclassic or broken. Before Luclin, the general rule was INT/WIS for hybrids(SK/PAL) because of mana pool. Of course back then people were dumb but I still think mana > all on a hybrid.

primal will max str/dex/agi anyway
