Starting Shadow Knight Questions
 

My friend is starting a Shadow Knight. What's the best race and stat distribution he could choose? (He was thinking either Troll or Ogre, but we're not sure of the gameplay differences)

Troll, all STA would be my recommendation.

Hello 68% XP reduction

Ogre for sure. Troll HP regen is negligible considering how much hp a tank has. Sk's cast spells, no frontal stun means you don't have to worry about that lifetap or hate spell getting interrupted. Ogres also get better stats then a troll, not by a ton, but it is something and considering they both level at the same rate, you might as well go for the better of the two! Also, ogres are a bit fattier, but nothing a shrink, or double shrink cannot cure!

Seriously, be a OGRE!

but I vote for a gnome, cause they the best!

Whenever my ogre SK got bashed on live it interrupted his casting. He wouldn't get stunned, but his spells would still be interrupted...

If you're set on min/maxing be an ogre. Pump all points into STA and remaining into INT. Mana really isn't a huge deal for SKs as most of your spells are for aggro anyways.

Dark Elf... enough said

Don't be a shadowknight, with the new changes in group shared exp/penalties, noone is going to want you.

Rushing to 50 doesn't seem to be all that great from what I hear here. Why would you want to be stuck in the drama of people crying about raid mobs when you can just enjoy classic EQ playing exactly what YOU want?
