Starting strength on an iksar sk is 80. Yikes!
Starting intelligence on an iksar sk is 85.

If this guy were rolling an ogre or troll my advice would be different.

My Gnome Warrior has 140+ STR with EC gear, and I didn't even focus on STR when picking his gear. This is without any Warrior specific clickie buffs. Gnome Warriors start with 60 STR. The reality is tank gear in Velious simply has a lot of STR on it, and you don't need 200+ STR to level.

Depends on race my gear is quite good and I'm still 4 points short on stamina. Even more if I use 1h instead of tuna sword for tanking. Not everyone wants to be an ugly ogre/troll.

4 points on STA is 21 HP on an SK.

I'll take 100+ mana over 21 HP any day of the week on an SK.

I mean specifically stamina. That's with me using sta on start still 4 short until bracer upgrade as a DE.

I wouldn't, 21 hp may make you survive your mana is pointless dead.

I wouldn't, 21 hp may save you

So could 100 mana. Life taps recover more than 21 HP, and FD will stop you from taking damage. Remember than SK FD costs mana, unless you are using BE Greaves.

If you are talking about raiding specifically, you can cap STA with any race in raid gear + buffs, so it doesn't really matter.

If you are tanking trash in ToV, you can simply get better gear to cap STA. All SK races can cap STA with Riotous Health + Raid Gear.

https://wiki.project1999.com/Magelo_Blue:EruditeSKMan - This is an example I made of an Erudite with BiS raid gear. They are capping on STR and STA without buffs. But the Erudite has not capped on INT, even when they are the highest INT SK in the game.
