Int stat?

[ebig]

<DIV>i have a question does int does anything for a pally and if not then why do sheilds give int bonuses it seems point less to me to give int bonus on a sheild ment for a tank</DIV>

<DIV>Atm it does nothing for us. When the combat changes come, it supposedly will affect how much damage our spells do. Wisdom will also mitigate spell damage when the changes roll out. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Why shields have int on them atm....i have no clue. Some heavy armor pieces also have Intelligence on them also. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>But the funny ones are the caster items that increase attack speed when hit....lol</DIV>

<P>Perhaps the INT increases are to keep us in check.  If all the INT bonuses went to STR or STA it would be easy to skyrocket your stats to demi-god status <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></P> <P>Have you noticed that most very light armor (bath robe wearers) has an uncanny number of STR increases?</P> <P>I've scratched my head on this one several times.</P> <P>Thanks,<BR>Kalen</P>
