Attribute Stacking

[Matuse]

So, with the exceptional stat revamp, and new items, I've been wondering whether the best place to put your base attribute for Wis/Con is even or odd. 18 is generally the accepted value for Wis (just in case; better to start as high as possible), but I've never ever ever liked how many build points that eats up.

So, potential sources of Wis/Con, excluding starting points:
+6 Level ups
+8 Enhancement item
+1 Competence Item(Formerly: Exceptional +1)
+2 Insightful Item
+6 Epic Destiny
+2 Great [Stat] Feats
+1 Human Enhancement
+2 FvS Enhancement (No boost for Con here)
+2 Yugo Pot
+2 Ship Buff
+1 Litany
+3 Tome
= 36...so an even start would be best...and that would mean having a 54, starting at 18.

Things I did not include:
+3 Insightful. Only available on trinkets, I believe. That's bad, considering the many, many, many available items for the trinket slot.
+4 Tome. These don't actually exist, and anyone claiming otherwise is lying.
+3 Profane Con from Abishai...with the U15 items (and more items after that), I don't believe that the full 5 piece eAbishai set is worthwhile or practical anymore.

This is good news for me, since I've given up all hope of ever getting a Litany, and I'm digging on the Lolth Holy Symbol. That makes the bonuses odd, which makes starting with a 17 feasible.

One thing I do like about the ED/Epic Feat options, is that you can very easily even out an odd attribute.

not certain, however.

i think +8 enhancement and +3 exceptional share the same item slot.
+4 tomes do exist, i have one on my healer
