sk starting points

[Crede]

The answer is DEX. OP is a filthy casual, hasn't even posted since post #1. Get them greenmist procs, he'll never see the advantage of INT in the endgame.

Apart from ME/FoS what would a sk be wearing in buff window for typical raids. Will slots be left open for hot/bard/etc.

Oh if you are asking about the 15 buff slot limit, I have had plenty of people ask for the full suite, DEX + STR + STA + FoS. Different raid targets require different buffs, so you generally do not need every single good buff on you at all times.

There is no reason to have Poison and Disease Resist buffs on, for example, due to the rarity of mobs that actually use these spells. When fighting one of these rare mobs, the raid will make sure people are appropriately resist buffed first. They will not assume it has been a normal buff you have been asking for, like FoS or STA.

1. Potg
2 symbol
3 ac (if tanking)
4. c2
5 haste
6 Divine strength
7 focus
8 stamina
9 CotP
10 instaclick
11 instaclick
12 avatar (spell cast or proc if you have weapon)

That leaves you 3 potential buff spots for bard songs, heal over times, divine intervention, mob dots/debuffs you may suffer from, any recourses from your own spells or self buffs, resist buffs (seasons, magic resist, etc), DMF ….

The list is long for a hybrid tank.

Plenty of people have asked me for DEX + STR + STA + FoS, even when i was in top raiding guilds getting most of the server targets. They found room. If you have Avatar and FoS, you are getting 167 STR and 160 DEX, plus saving a buff slot. Iksar SKs start with 80 STR and 85 DEX before starting stats. A level 60 can get 8 STR and 10 DEX from items lol. https://wiki.project1999.com/Silken_Cat-fur_Girdle or https://wiki.project1999.com/Belt_of_the_Great_Turtle would give these stats on a single droppable item.

An Iksar SK who put their starting stats into STR would be overcapped in STR by 12 points naked with Avatar and FoS.

That is a great strategy! Avatar is certainly better.

Also, the strength buff is "MS" (Maniacal Strength), not "ME".

Whoops. Hilarious typo removed.
