Let's say you have a 20 gallon gas tank in your car, and yet you spend 95% of your active drive time with the tank filled between 5 and 15 gallons.

That being the case, what practical value would you receive from spending money to upgrade to a 21 gallon tank?

Using your analogy, INT is constantly having a 16 gallon tank. STR is having a small 1 gallon attachment to your 15 gallon tank that occasionally falls off.

Would you prefer a 16 gallon tank, or a 15 gallon tank with a 1 gallon attachment that sometimes falls off?

When you are stat capped, you get nothing.

No. It’s like having a 16 gallon tank vs having a car with a 15 gallon tank that gets at least 10% more miles per gallon WHILE hauling a small Uhaul.

Gas is expensive.

I’d rather have 10% better fuel efficiency.

(5% faster kills and 5% less damage taken to recover)

Ps: your analogy fails

You have yet to provide any math...

This from a guy who has, in this thread alone, failed at really basic use of a calculator or understanding how haste affects the math of hits per unit time. It doesn’t matter if we give you math. You don’t understand basic math fairly frequently.

I mean basic math fail on your part happened less than 3-4 hours ago here. I had to say the same god damn thing 7x before you “got it”.

Regardless, it was an honor to educate you and for you to admit it for once.

I am still awaiting a positive argument in favor of INT. You continue merely to discount STR.

We all have been for 61 pages. He hasn’t even tried yet.

I am perfectly willing to admit when I make a mistake, unlike yourself. Yet another easy to disprove troll you like to perpetuate.

Feel free to double check my other math if you think I made any more mistakes. Unlike yourself, I provide my work instead of cower behind fallacies.

You are backed into a corner, and now are doing the thing I said you would do. I made one mistake, therefore you claim I cannot be right about anything. Thanks for continuing to show you are just a troll.

For a SK who’s epic procs a 250 lifetap (50 x 5 ticks) and for an iksar sk who can get greenmist which procs a 240hp lifetap (30 x 8 ticks) there is honestly a better case to be made for 20 dex over 20int. Greenmist even steals 20 str and 4 ac for the duration.

Screw intelligence, if not str then a casual iksar sk would be better skipping intelligence and going for dex instead to maximize self healing.

That’s a lot of healing!

Disclaimer: as a warrior i prioritize dex for threat but acknowledge that even with max dex you’re looking at only 2 procs per minute. 20 dex is but a drop in the bucket but every little bit helps! That piddly 20 dex will do more for a SK than 20int by the metrics we are judging.

I feel bad for kittens.

Hypocrisy.

I said this the first page. Dex for sure on a casual greenmist player. Procs are more important for reducing downtime than some extra str or int

DEX is also easy to cap with buffs, you can get over 200 from buffs alone.

Int will serve you the best overall imo.

You said that too on the first page.

I've changed my mind as well. I wouldn't even recommend it for ogres and trolls now; that's the strength of your arguments

Int is just max mana though, and minimally relevant for most SK content where mana regen is the limiter. I'd hesitatingly recommend it for trolls and ogres maybe.

For an iksar, str or stamina is probably going to be more efficacious in the likely massive amount of time between being a fresh, twinked level 1 and actually capping those stats without buffs. Go int though if you're able to cap or close to cap with the gear available.
