You can't simultaneously claim that players do not plan out their character while at the same time suggesting that they pick a stat that lends itself to the greatest benefit in the absolute end game planning(INT) which likely over 99% of SKs will never get to due to the sheer amount of time/dedication/difficulty involved.

Ripq's SK is geared better than probably 90% of sks, and he still can't even cap STA.
I can say both. I am willing to bet most people do not build a Magelo first and set up their stats based on the results of the Magelo. They acquire gear organically, which may or may not cap a certain stat. Statistically speaking INT is the hardest stat to cap for an SK, so you have the lowest probability of capping that stat with class relevant gear. It really isn't more difficult than that.

This isn't a tell me the min/max stat thread for sks. This is an iksar sk just starting out curious about their different options. You are factually foregoing other various benefits by focusing on INT until the absolute end of the game which odds are you will never hit anyway.
Where did OP say he didn't want the min/max option? You do not get to put words in OP's mouth to try and win the debate, or stifle other posters.

I think INT is a clear choice for ogres/trolls. For the rest of the SK races, I think STR or STA are valid cases. There's really no wrong answer here, since we do not know ultimate what OPs final goals are, we can only offer our advice and let them choose what is best for their particular situation. It's not helpful to anyone, including OP, by consistently trying to force your INT preference on this thread.
Not everything is an opinion or preference. I am not saying INT is the best stat due to preference. There is an objectively best and worst stat based on the facts and statistics. INT is the best starting stat in most cases. That doesn't mean OP will be wrong if he chooses to not pick INT. We all agree starting stats are not going to significantly affect OP's experience.

I am not sure why people get so offended at the facts of the game. It is a very strange occurrence on these forums.
