Go erudite! Super intelligence for lots of spells and such! Or min max it as others have covered. Anyone care to theorize and lay out a min-max approach to an erudite SK? I’d be interested; for the red server so no 40% exp penalty. 0pp budget

From a stat perspective Erudite is the best SK with BiS Velious gear, since INT/WIS is harder to get on BiS tank gear, and INT/WIS buffs give you less stat points than the melee stat buffs. As you can see from the Magelo, his INT is still not maxed even as an Erusite, but all his melee stats are either maxed or will be maxed with buffs. Erudites also get +5 MR, which is better than the other SK races base resistances.

You would basically do 20 int as your starting stats, and you would need to make sure you have some agi gear on at all times.

However, I would say the racial regen from trolls or FSI from Ogres would give you more mileage than the extra bit of max mana you get from an Erudite. Shadowknights get quite a few ways to reduce their mana useage: Flowing Thought items, a lot of useful clickies, and Soul Defiler.
