Some people might disagree, but the Int requirements are decent for Champions. A starting champ can use heal, one with a couple levels can start using spells like arcane arrow. The addition of wizardie type equipment that boots Int would be great too.
The issue with Sov ignoring Int requirements is pretty damn annoying as it removes a lot of strategy and makes having a wizard style Sov fairly pointless when a dumb berserker Sov can use all the same spells to the same effect, not counting the one or two spells that actually take into account your Int for damage. Someone will probably post that the lore says Sov is god or something and can use all spells so its ok because fluff says so even if its gamebreaking
