Have fun trying to play a Dark Elf Shadow Knight on "green" with no points added to Strength and a STR of 70. I've repeatedly said it over the years, but when P99 first started out I watched numerous small-race tanks go for a Velious-style stamina allocation only to quit in disgust by level 30 when they found they couldn't even carry their own gear around without being encumbered. Conditions on a mature Velious-era server like P1999-blue with its vast amount of cheap stat gear are vastly different than conditions on a fresh pre-expansion world. Build a character for the conditions it'll face.
However strength isn't really a problem on a Troll. Neither is stamina. I like adding points to intelligence on a Troll since their other scores are decent by default. On the weaker races like Dark Elf or Human I usually favor adding points to strength for quality of life purposes except when stat gear is available from the start (like it is now on Blue), at which point stamina becomes attractive.

I'd like to compare equipment Elwing (PM is fine if desired). My Shadow Knight is a Human just like yours (name's Andoric), and I've been maximum level for a very long time. I spend a great deal of time duo with a Shaman since the wife plays one, and like you I have no high-end equipment as I'm uninterested in raiding. For the conditions I face I favor AC first and foremost.
