Troxx is correct here. Let it die, DSM.

I am sorry, but denying facts is not the correct approach here. You simply muddy the waters, and make it impossible for people to find the correct answers.
INT is the best starting stat for an SK unless you are making a self found character, or it is your first character on a server.
To counter the idea that STR is the best starting stat, I have provided multiple pieces of evidence:
I have provided evidence showing the statistical probabilities of stats on gear for SK's, an example of this can be found here:
https://wiki.project1999.com/Magelo_Blue:EruditeSKMan. This shows that STR and STA are more common on Velious BiS gear. You will cap STR and STA, while not capping INT. This is on an Erudite, who has the highest INT in the game for SK's.
I have shown an Iksar SK can get a large amount of STR in easily acquired gear, this can be found here:
https://wiki.project1999.com/Magelo_Blue:TestIksarSK. This shows that you can get enough STR to deal good damage and carry around lots of loot without having to raid.
I have provided in-game evidence showing an example of how much DPS +20 STR will give you, that can be found here:
https://www.project1999.com/forums/s...&postcount=211. This shows a small DPS increase from +20 STR, which means you probably aren't going to be getting a significant boost to kills per hour while leveling.
I have shown that you can get +235 STR with

https://wiki.project1999.com/Focus_of_Spirit +
https://wiki.project1999.com/Maniacal_Strength. This means you can cap STR long before full BiS gear in a number of buff combinations.
I am 100% open to admitting I am wrong if people can provide evidence that rebuts mine.
However, you do not simply get to say "I am right, you are wrong, and I need no evidence". That isn't helpful, and it confuses people.
Games are built on rules and math. There are objective answers to questions like this. So far, the evidence points to INT being the best starting stat. This has more credibility than a mere preference or opinion, as it is backed up by evidence.
