Enchanter 5 remaining points - INT or STA?

[Xantarr]

Hey all, returning after a long time absent and starting an enchanter (switching from my bard because carpal tunnel). Playing HIE, agnostic, and putting 25 stat points into CHA. Where should the remaining 5 go? All of my reading suggests either INT or STA. I know it's only 5 points but hey. Cheers.

Honestly, I would put those last 5 points into STR.

STA doesn't amount to much hitpoints and you will be able to cap your INT.

STR, you will cap both your CHA and INT easly when geared right and with your self buffs. You so need the STR trust me... [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

not true at all, capping charisma is actually quite difficult with pretty much 100% of the tradeable items and many no drop raid items, until you are a immersed loser getting velious raid loot, and like a lot of it, which for an enchanter is like the worst fun you'll have in EQ, ever.

So yeah, no dont "not" worry about capping your charisma because anyone who says you can do it with like siren hair hoods is a liar and not actually speaking from experience.

Recommending STR as well. STA gives negligible return and INT is easily capped with gear/buffs.

Sta is worthless on a caster as far as I can tell, kits like 1 hp per sta point lol what a joke

I'm already putting the maximum 25 points into charisma, so it's irrelevant whether it's hard to cap. The question is what to do with the last 5 points.

With weight reduction bags I'll be alright on strength, I think

not always, I am usually always over weight since I went with INT instead of STR. I have the 50% and the 75% weight reduction bags on my character and my weight is always around 60/55 somehow..every now and then i'll make it down to 58/55 when I am not carrying money. If I have a STR buff then Im usually hitting 58/98. just depends on what all you need to carry, at low levels its fine but once you start getting your OT hammer, keys, etc it starts adding up.

Also, weight reduction bags do not affect the gear you are currently wearing.

^^ That is also something to think about when you start really gearing up, I know my gear is pretty much 90% of my weight.
