With BiS, you know as well as me that takes long time, sta gonna help you for long time I'm in mostly 2nd/3rd bis and some bis like tuna sword and brain.

You have great gear for sure! But you will cap STA with one upgrade. You could do this with an Arms upgrade (Vulak Arms), an Earring Upgrade (Vulak or Doze), a glove upgrade (City Leader Gloves or Vulak Gloves), etc.

I understand BiS takes a long time to get. But if you are really worried about stats, you should roll an Ogre/Troll instead. Nobody is forcing you to roll a low stat character. Clearly you did just fine as a Dark Elf with lower STA. I doubt your guild is going to kick you for -21 HP.

Ah you are correct there, my bad. I thought https://wiki.project1999.com/Gauntle...Dragon_Slaying had STA on it for some reason.

I'm just saying sta isn't as easy as you make it seem to cap , less you go ugly or get raw sta items that are worse.

I do agree with you BiS is hard to get. But OP is going to have access to lifetap in most scenarios, and the max mana from INT is going to supply you with more HP than the extra STA would via lifetaps.

104 HP from 20 STA has a very small percentage chance to save you on raid targets, and no guild is going to prevent you from tanking because of 104 HP. Often times you are going to be swapping to a Cleric or something anyway if you are an SK main.

Nah we use knights quite a bit for clears and kunark, we don't want them swapping. Mana won't help you dead.

275/255 STA won't help you either[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] That will give you 0 HP. You can simply get better gear if you are worried about your max HP pool, or pick a better starting race.

You are also not changing your mind here. We are simply at an impasse. I can also say you are unwilling to change your mind.

The difference is I can show that you can cap STA easer than INT, which means my position is stronger. It is also factually true that you can pick a higher STA race if you want better stats.

Whether or not you want to admit it, you know that 21 HP is not going to give you a significant leg up over another SK when it comes to tanking raid mobs. Anybody who has been raiding for years will understand this.
