well my 24 Iksar SK LOVES this stuff. i put all my points into sta so i could use a little help in the int and str departments. this does nothing for str but the int + higher ac makes me a very good SK. i can't wear a lot of the other stuff as an iksar so this is my option (if i want to spend less than 1k per item). awesome gear. even though it looks really umm sweet -- guess that's what the dyes are for.
