STA mid max = iskar always STA

Your starting stats mean very little - I wouldn't stress about it - but a little STR never hurt and some extra STA will be more beneficial once you start Lich'ing. Int for a necro isn't all that important TBH since we have such insane mana regen

Then when you're close to 60 you can regret wasting all that time on a character who's gimped compared to iksar. :rolleyes:
For Necromancer.

Here is another quote

For Necro, go full STR. As a non-Erudite race, put leftover points into INT. Erudite will put the points into AGI to guarantee minimum 75 AGI.

STA is a very poor stat choice for a caster class to focus on. 5 STA at level 60 is around 12 HP. Definitely not worth it. STA on a caster is worth even less while leveling.

INT is very easy to acquire with gear, but it also is only useful while at max mana. Sure, it's nice to have, but as a Necromancer, gear with +HP would be a better investment.

STR will lower your reliance on WR bags and allow you to wear heavier gear, carry more pet weapons, and keep more FS to sell to vendors. I would recommend STR over STA/INT for Wizard and Magician, as well.

I have a 53 Human (eyepatch) Necro. I put more into INT early on but at this level I feel like having more STA would be better. That's just my take. I didn't need an Iksar to have fun with Necro.

go INT/STR. Forget the people telling you to go iksar, if you want to play human, play human. Honestly being lvl 60 kinda blows unless you plan to raid hardcore or master the solo artists challenge so just enjoy the ride. Also, forget the people telling you to get STA. The post about the 5 extra points not meaning much is only partially truly because the 5 extra str for carrying stuff will get you way more use than any of the other 5 extra stats.

Ive been looking and i cant find the stat 'iksar'? Is it just a creation stat?

You're going to be a skeleton 90% of the time, race really doesn't matter outside of perks (Erudite svMagic, Iksar regen, gnome tinkering+wall peeking). But play what you enjoy, nothing will burn you out like min/maxing IMO.

Stam returns on int casters is awful but its something. 200 int is the goal but not so important for Necro as you have regen, you don't need a huge mana pool. Str at low levels (and untwinked) is nice for quality of life.

For Iksar: Int/Str
Everyone else: Stam/Str
Except for Erudite: 5 into Agi, rest into Stam/Str

Everyone is different. Some people value potential statistical advantages over everything else in a game, even if it's a minimal/irrelevant boost. People with this mentality will pick Iksar for their necromancer.
