Mage starting stats

[crazykappa]

Hello, i started a Gnome mage with +25 int +5 sta, and am now level 10. But now I'm reading that sta is most important, as int is easy to cap, should i re-roll a Erudite with +25sta and +5int? That would give me 105 sta, and 122 int.

Sta on an int caster is fairly minimal - its like 2hp per sta at 60. I'd go int so you can switch out for +mana/hp and resists while maintaining 200int easier.

No gnome is better because you can see through walls which well help you out alot in dungeons. You also really don't need to min max stats that much as a mage because if you do decide to raid as a mage your just gonna be CoHing and casting mod rods.
