I appreciate that you tried to give a proper answer this time. It was unfortunately spoiled by a number of unnecessary attacks on me. But we can put that aside for now, as this is progress!

1. https://wiki.project1999.com/Magelo_...StatsNonRaid01 - I used a 4+ neck here, not a 6+ neck. A 4+ neck is a free rot drop. It will save you some money on buying a Necklace of Superiority. Missing details like this is probably why you have a skewed interpretation of what I have been saying in this thread.

2. 20k is not difficult to get on a Necromancer. I made more than that on my SK killing guards while leveling, and a Necromancer can solo better than an SK.

3. I never said a Necro shouldn't be farming for a CoS or other clickies. The nice thing about EC items is you can always resell them as needed. Buy gear now to help you farm/level, then resell it for CoS when you have saved up enough plat + items.

4. I never claimed the gear combinations I provided were the absolute best combinations possible, or that they are the best fit for every player starting a Necromancer. You jumped to those conclusions for no logical reason. I was simply showing that INT is common on gear that is easily found in EC. I put a lot of cheap gear in both of my examples. The Magelo had a few expensive pieces, but you can swap them out for cheaper pieces. As I said in an earlier post, you could shave like 10k on the Magelo just by replacing Djarns and Sickly Orb with a 6/65 Ring and a Sandwitch. You'd only lose 25 HP.

5. I never claimed that a Necro needs expensive gear to get to 60. But since Necros are good at farming, a lot of people will end up buying/finding the gear they want while leveling.

6. https://wiki.project1999.com/Magelo_...Dirtbrokenecro This is a perfectly reasonable Magelo showing cheap gear. I have no problems with it. In your Magelo you would have 41 more INT than STA if you had put 25 points into STA and 5 points into INT. My point still stands that you are going to get a lot more INT from items than STA, even when you are focusing on +HP items specifically. That is why you will end up capping INT before STA, and why STA is generally the better starting stat. You yourself seemed to suggest that losing 700 mana isn't a big deal for you. That means you aren't too worried about the 230 mana you would lose from putting 25 points into STA and 5 points into INT. 288 mana if you put the 5 points into STR instead.
