SK race opinions?

[Uton]

Thinking about making an SK, but uncertain on race selection. I'm not twinking a 30 to park in MM, i don't grief. Looking for opinions for 50s-60 and end game raiding/pvp

I like Troll for regen (sustainability) and slam, plus I can "RP" an asshole baddy if I choose.

Ogre for HP and stun immune?

Iksar for AC regen/mana pool?

DE ... never?

SK epic (probably won't achieve or bother to try) allows for slam on all races, but if the weapon is upgraded in the end game slam Races retains the benefit.

[maerilith]

Everyone plays trolls, iksar eventually aren't bad, Ogres are usually fly-by-night sks's it seams.

DESK's require insanity. Are there any?

[Swish]

if you go erudite or DE you'll have some fans, but expect to die more often.

[maerilith]

Salaryman is an erudite and he's awesome as fuk

[Uton]

Salaryman is a paladin of Prexus

troll > ogre > iksar > everything else

Thanks guys. Kinda relieved cuz I fuckin <3 my troll sk from VZ but never bothered lvling beyond the 30s.

Erudite.

Be brave. Be different.

[hammbone]

Wow, baddies up in here IMHO. Your primary melee stats will be maxed endgame. INT will be the hardest to max. Depending on which race you choose, the difference means casting another "drain soul" - great for pvp and hard to overlook.

1. Iksar for AC, Regen, and manapool
2. Ogre for no frontal stun
3. Troll for regen

What do you lose by going Iksar?
1. Old school resist gears like ogre butcher gloves
2. Kunark gear clickies
3. Random Velious gear like Mithril Boots

[cronik]

If you're not rolling a gnome sk you're doing it wrong.

[jtlightner]

Erudite.

I did, name is Xijek. Lvl 30, currently in MM.

Pretty sure I haven't seen any other Erudite's and I have been here for a month and half.

iksars can't slam, their 2hs animation is fucking horrible, they don't look good as trolls, your stamina probably won't be maxed unless you have retarded gear

[Redi]

If your not a troll or ogre you can only bash w epic

Good luck

[Uton]

trolls have vision too correct?

[Xaanka]

Yeah but OP specified he only cared about endgame. Slam is a non factor because you will have epic.

Iksar = + AC bonus +regen -locked out of a few minor items +good int
Troll = +regen +melee stats -fire resist penalty -HORRIBLE INT
Ogre = +fsi +melee stats
Erud/DE = +race doesn't matter anyways with good gear +cool points +good int

Shield swap; agree; agree; disagree; done.

Great points overall.

[Xaanka]

missed the part where he said he wouldn't /effort/ an epic, so slam actually makes a bit of a difference.

[Redi]

I guess if u want to be a sucker and be forced to use your kunark sword in order to bash. I'd rather use velious weapons. To each his own.

endgame means you'll have a better weapon than epic

i.e. palladius' axe of slaughter, petrified heartwood flamberge, lance of thunder, great spear of dawn, etc.

[DRAGONBAIT]

dark elf best race, then iksar or even erud

if u want to roll a troll sk u better roll a warrior

[miraclegrow2]

Troll

not even up for discussion

[onarrot4000]

Erudite.

Erudite or go home. You look sick af in plate.

[SamwiseRed]

[Redi]

Troll and dark elf most fashionable

Especially once custom helm comes in

Here is some very famous troll sk on the box from legendary foh guild in their homeland, also see Chewie:

Every class rocks in everquest . Fuck this min maxing shit . I play this because of nostalgia.. why would the creators of the game create so many crazy race/class combination possibilities.

That's a thing that everquest is so unique in. All other MMOs I've played feel so limited in the race/class combo possibilities. There's like no uniqueness in other mmos. Everyone's just a carbon copy of eachother.

[maerilith]

That's a beautiful UI Sir Salaryman.

Actually EQ limits them more than anyone else, thats one of the things that makes the game worth while. theme park MMOs generally have every race can be any class - which is lame

[onarrot4000]

Ya , I guess so many different options is what I like.

Iksars don't get bash without epic, dislike that.

Otherwise play the race you don't mind staring at on your screen. Troll gets the best velious helm too.

@OP - I play an Iksar SK on Red and it's awesome. the AC and Regen I don't regret picking iksar one bit. Originally I went Dark Elf and I looked like a badass but I got a lot of crap about picking dark elf. Before I started on red I weighted what I wanted to do and what challenges I'd face. dark elf felt the most right for me at start. it had hide, higher int for spells. But then I learned SK gets hide and the DE Int bonus is just a hit to their total HP pool in the end, in reality. So while iksar is close to human stats, the regen and ac bonus actually has really helped me level faster and with more fun. Mind you I solo play during low pop.

[SamwiseRed]

He has a point though. How do people still question things on a 16 year old simple game? Drugs?

Y are you an animefag (we'll simply never know probably) based on your avatar and sig.

TBH the only other person I KNOW IRL WHO IS INTO ANIME as much as the forumquestors here is a real cupcake of a firebeetle. Theyre entire life is fabricated and they are little skanky weasly manwhores.

[Tassador]

You make an erudite sk put points to Intelligence. Massive mana pool for unresistable life taps

Warrior I would go ogre and put points on wisdom for auto follow purposes.

Goog point on anime fags but I only like a few. DBZ, Gundam Wing, Fullmetal Alchemist, and Samurai Champloo are the only ones I like. Oh and they have to be in english, I cant stand bitch ass Japanese voices, ya feel me?

[Redi]

I'm glad you went w the classic Cameron tho, much better.
