With the soft cap of 200 on int, there's plenty of room to substitute in a piece of gear for a little extra str if you really wanted it and there's pieces with str and int combined, like the sapphire platinum necklace and golden bracer. That's +14 str right there without adding a ton of weight or losing an int slot.

5 sta doesn't sound like a lot, but there have been many occasions in this game where life and death and a lengthy corpse run came down to the last few HP.

except if he went 5 str and focused gear on hp/mana after soft cap instead of STR then the reward would be much more health than 5 stam will give for a wizard.

Faster than you'd think. Wizards aren't as gear dependant as other classes and there will be a day when 42k for 8 tink bags isn't unfathomable.

if the wizard is relying on the 20-30hp which is what the 5sta would give he is gonna be dead anyway at higher levels.
