So, Int or Str for higher parses at lower levels?

<DIV>I am starting a little woodelf that I will soon be betraying to become a shadowknight. i will be trioing with a paladin who will be main tank and a fury, so i am going to make the SK have as much DPS as possible. is our damage mostly melee based or spell based? should i focus on int or str as my primary trait?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>also, when i do get into the 20s and get my AA's, which path should i train up first? </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>so, if anyone can enlighten me on which stat will do me the most good as far as the ol parser is concerned?</DIV>

best route is intelligence, it maxes out yer spell crits or at least gets points into them and trust me its one of the best dps AAs for SKs to get, even non dps SKs take intelligence line

INT for sure.  I went 8/8/8 on INT.  68% chance for critical magic damage.  Legionnaire's smite is a great spell as well.  Given the short recast and high damage, it's your most efficient spell.  After that, I went down the STA line, to get critical melee damage.  I may respec and go down STR instead of STA though, to get the haste and increased hate.<div></div>
