Red SK race question

[Donmega]

What would be the better choice for a SK here on red in your guys opinion? Ogre or Iksar and why?

I was told Ogre since it has Frontal Stun Immunity, which can save your life in PvP.
Regen is good for leveling though, less down time... :)

i would go ogre for the no stun thing.. leveling will happen fast or not.. but not dying to stun is priceless..

One might choose a non ogre race to focus on intelligence stat if they know they won’t be min maxed

Also one might choose a non ogre for mobility. You don’t always get to cast shrink the second you get in a zone and in fact you often need to hit the ground running which means you’re going in full fat which isn’t always great.

I was joking when I said iksar sk was best combo. It would only be considered the best because a great player played it well, which was my point.

Ogre stun immunity doesn’t work in pvp. Troll bis race

FSI irrelevant as skeleton for no name plate, right? Even if wrong, players can try to mitigate FSI better than mobs. As such, troll, it is the remaining giant race SK for weighted axe joust / archery shenanigans.

Thanks for the input guys. Much appreciated

I tried to ERU sk... but by level 20ish I was unable to take down blue cons without fear kiting lol.

Is this correct?

Asking since I'm finding conflicting info on these forums

Do you mind, explaining a little bit further to noob who don't understand mechanics of the game yet.

So Ogre SK can't do "weighted axe joust / archery shenanigans"? Just Troll SK (and to some degree Ranger)

Or you meant, since there is no FSI on PvP, Ogre SK is lesser choice than Troll SK, but both can use axe joust / archery mechanic?

FSI works in pvp

It's also the best racial in the game

There is FSI for pvp, but players can work to mitigate it. Ogres can do weighted axe stuff as well as troll.

On live my ogre would be frontally stunned while under illusions, not sure if it works that way here. I’m sure i’ve stunned arnie from front with kick while he has been skeleton (he os ogre normal?), but lag/hitboxes maybe mean this wan’t true.

Ahh, great and thank you!

OK I think I got it now ;-) thank you!

Ogre Sk is the boss of all bosses. But if your going to solo and have some gear, regen would be best for solo I imagine.

However, if your not in the mood for the fashionquest of troll, then Iksar sk is best. Iksar sk might not have all the best stats but if its the most fun and best way to get to high level, then its better than no high level sk.

Be sure to download a texture pack that resolves the mysteriously cut short iksar animations.

Bashing is much more fun with a 360 back heel tail slap thrown in.

I can't imagine FSI eve n being as close to as useful as regen for a soloing SK. Different universes of usefulness, in or out of pvp.

I imagine. I only ever had a not high level iksar sk. Frontal stun has to be awesome for fear especially. I just don't know about the down time.

Edit: I believe you I mean.

I really need to get better at EQ. I've played it forever and still don't know enough about it. Hopefully I can one day, I am afraid I won't though which is a bummer.

I quit playing for a year incase my guild would be mad that I left the guild. It was a big waste of time, oh well.

Edit: Sorry might be TMI and I'm supposed to show I don't care about trolling and stuff.
