My point is simple. You don't need to cap STR to be successful when leveling.

If you want to make the claim that +20 STR gives an SK a significant DPS boost while leveling, you need to show that.

STA and STR are factually easier to cap. This can be shown via Magelo, and looking at available buffs. Put your points into the harder stat to cap (INT), because you get more benefit from an uncapped stat over a longer period of time.

OP has multiple level 60s. Unless they decide to make a self found character, twink items will outweigh the benefits from starting stats during the leveling process.



Of course it is. When you are soloing, an SK's primary tool is fear kiting. You are spending mana to not take damage. An SK is MUCH slower at killing things if they simply face tank. If you fear kite correctly, you will run out of mana long before HP. You can fear kite starting at level 15, so I am not sure why you think it is restricted to level 60s.

If you are talking about grouping, +20 STR is doing even less than when you are soloing. You get less loot since it is shared across the group, and an SK is not a DPS class in a group, they are a tank.

Depends on race my gear is quite good and I'm still 4 points short on stamina. Even more if I use 1h instead of tuna sword for tanking. Not everyone wants to be an ugly ogre/troll.
