I’m gonna take the real world evidence of a very well geared 60 non-giant sk that actually exists and gets played over untested hypothetical builds. Sorry.
Dsm, I also note your sk requires PE to cap sta?
You seem to have selected unbuffed str over int, as it is far over what is needed to cap with buffs. This demonstrates acknowledgement of the value of unbuffed str and that even you don’t take for granted ms/fos. Especially as sk can cast major shielding instead to pump ac/mr.

The issue with your logic here is you are completely missing how statistics work.
Nobody in this thread has denied that you can cap one stat over another with certain combinations of gear. I do not deny it either.
The only thing that matters is the statistical probability of capping a stat. This is because most players acquire gear organically. You don't know what gear you are going to end up with when you first start your character. Just because a probability is low, it doesn't mean you can't have it occur. INT is the hardest stat to cap statistically speaking using relevant SK gear, and all the data is available on the wiki to show this is the case.
Saying "it can happen" is like telling someone they will win the lottery. It is possible, but statistically unlikely. This is why you do not advise someone to spend there whole life savings on lottery tickets.
As for buffs, you can easily show that you cannot get +235 INT, which means it is also harder to cap in that scenario.
You are incorrect about your assessment of my SK's stats. My SK has a lot more STR because tank gear tends to have STR on it. Trolls also have higher starting STR. My Magelo supports my position that relevant SK gear is more likely to have STR on it, instead of INT. I also put my starting stats into INT.
