ISK Int. blows... Go ERU. More INT = more drains and spells period. Who would not like to have a few more spells to throw ??? People just have a hard on for ISKs .

This is offset slightly by higher Iksar STR/STA.. Trust me when i say STR is by far the most important stat for a chinese plat-farming class like a necro.
My pal Karsten would be proud to know that at 107 STR, I may in fact be the 'strongest necro on the server'.
But yeah, unless you are seriously levelling to 60 at Dino in OOT, max mana isn't ever going to matter much on a necro. We arent a 'NUKE TILL OOM THEN DIE' kind of raiding class like wizards, or a "HEAL TILL OOM THEN DIE" raiding class like clerics or a combo of the two like Shamy Druid etc... I guess you could claim a necro could be mana pumping for a full raid encounter, but even then a few extra INT/Mana isn't going to make or break anything.
Necro all about mana/hp regen, and max hitpoints. While it's true the higher your base INT being higher will free you up to go +Hps all the sooner, you are still better off in the long run grabbing the extra Iksar regen and maybe wearing, say, a Giant Reminder String or Braided Cinch Cord over a (lol) Thick Banded belt.
With the advent of the Staff of the WaterWalker, Fire Plat Wedding Rings, Golden Bracers, HBCs, as well as all the new kunark lewtz flowing around, you're going to be just fine as an iksar maxing out both INT to 190+, STR, and having pretty massive HitPoints for a caster. Probably the only thing you're going to have to grind is a mask (PMM off Rokyl, Tobrins (gl), etc) or the end game BCG/Hierocloak combo.
You just simply aren't going to be a FM -> OOM caster class as a necro. Accept that. In most experience groups when you hit 40m you'll be shocked, unless you are just chain nuking or being CC or something. And even then you'll need faster pulls to catch up on hitpoints far more than you'd ever need to 'slow puills to med'.
meh, i've rambled enough.
