Erudite Sk starting stats

[kaev]

Int sounds like a poor idea, Erudite SK already has 117 to start with and depth of manapool isn't a tanking stat. A deeper manapool would probably help you solo, but if you want to solo a lot why not play some other class that's good at it?

Str for quality of life is only really a consideration if you're untwinked. Tree Weave (25ac/10str chest, leather look but plenty of time to FashionQuest later in char's career) and Hero Bracers (9ac/10str/5dr/5pr wrist) are relatively inexpensive at less than 1k combined and will serve a tank well for many levels.

Sta is grand for a tank, it is one of two attributes that directly affects a tanking stat and once you get 75 agi the AC benefit from additional +agi is minimal. Bigger HP buffers make clerics smile.
