2377: Starting/Racial Intelligence Not Affecting Necromancer Damag

Description

The Intelligence stat that a Necro starts with is not being counted towards the damage calculations. The only stats that are affecting damage for a Necro are +Intel on gear, +Intel from Acuity Buffs, and the +Intel that rises as you level. This is an issue since it reduces the Necromancers damage stat by 60-88 depending on race and stat allocation, that is between a 20-30% loss in damage for the Necro. This may be the root of the problem for Aug Acuity RA not functioning as well.

Reproduction Steps

1. Roll a fresh i50 Inconnu Necro with 18Int at creation, spec 50 Deathsight
2. Test the damage vs level 50 test dummies
3. Roll a fresh i50 Briton Necro with no Int at creation, spec 50 Deathsight
4. Test the damage vs level 50 test dummies
5. Verify the damage is the same and did not increase despite a 28 point difference in Intel which should be ~9% damage increase

Intended Behavior

Fix the base stats to affect damage for the Necro.

Evidence

Here is a screenshot of my testing showing the lack of damage from base stats on Uthgard as compared to the change in damage on Pendragon. As well as showing other casters gaining the damage increase with racial choice and stat allocation.
