Ok, I decided I'm going with the Iksar. Any starting stat ideas, aside from full on WIS ( referring to Timelord )

The reasons you go full wisdom is because it helps at lower levels more then hp does especially since you can regen hp faster then mana. Also when Velious hits and you can just buff up your stamina to the cap, you will rather have spent those points to get you near the wisdom cap. I think its like 250 or 255. With avatar its really easy to reach max stamina.

Put another way, WIS is the only base stat (that you care about) that you can't buff through the roof later on.

That's also why WIS is the most important stat to look at in Shammy equipment (the others being Mana, which you likewise can't self-buff, and Resists which buffs alone won't make super-high).

Avatar: 1 : Increase STR, AGI, DEX and ATK by 100 (not stam)

As an ogre sham, with med-high end gear that dumped STAM primary and 5 to wis, I'm sitting at 221ish stam and 212 wis in mana capacity gear(with HP rings), with self+enc buffs. A few verrious pieces (and form of the great bear +10 wis/2hpreg buff) will cap my missing 43 wis.
