Doh - I typed my INT and WIS backwards

So swap those and reverse them. Sorry - boss prolly walked in or something.
I havent thought about the full STA line in a long time honestly... shit not since back in KoS when the absorb didnt calculate mit. I've been hanging around in the mage group so long, where I think the 24 group skills mod is better. But from a pure tanking standpoint, the STA line would be better as he said.
