I'll agree it lets you stack stats in other areas at creation, more stamina and so on, but there isn't really that much variation to shift your gearing by much without some substantial opportunity costs that could be made up with a better race selection. All in all, in the end, it's just better to have an Iksar with 200 int and only 75 stamina (assuming a 25 int/5 sta breakdown, since it can be hard to get to 200 on an Iksar while still maximizing HP gear) with regen, than it is to be an Erudite with 200 int and 95 stamina (40 more HP) and no regen.
It gets hard to get rid of int after a while. I am stuck at 208 and I can't get rid of that 8 in any reasonable way, and I am a Dark Elf (on Uteu, Sesser is an Iksar).

I didn't find it very hard to drop int on my erudite tbh. There are plenty of hp/mana items that can replace int items. However, I also had access to my epic and raid gear so having a higher max HP/Mana compared to iksars was pretty easy.
I'm not advocating any race over another and if I were to start up again on p99 as a necromancer I wouldn't hesitate to pick an iksar as the race. However, I'm just stating that, at this time on p99, there is still some positives to be found playing the other races that start with a naturally higher intelligence stat.
