2hp per sta at 50 and I think 3 per sta at 60. You're almost guaranteed to get a higher amount of HP in a given slot with a straight +HP item.

Don't forget that the whole HP=mana thing for necros does imply that a certain amount of int or mana in a slot beats out its equivalent in +HP, even with the lost survivability. ShadowBound Boots give 15 hp 15 mana but you'd still want GEBs, and a 15hp/mana bracelet is probably worse than a Supple Scale Armband even over the int softcap.

Don't neglect int/mana entirely, especially since high-end HP gear (BS Earrings, Plat Tiara, Idol of the Thorned) can cost thousands of plat more than cheap int/mana replacements.

It's easy to overpower the int "softcap" in Velious gear, or even in VP gear. It's pretty possible to do the same in the original EQ gear, as well, with a couple Kunark pieces like HoR.

It's not easy to max your stamina, as a caster.

If you're an endgamer, choose stamina.
