Not sure if the ikky AC bonus actually does anything, was some debate about it in one the oomphzillion other threads regarding this. Noidea if Greenmist is going in, but prty sure Velious has multiple better ratio SK weapons than 18/22 anyway. Guess there's the regen, which scales into a permanent fungi or something at 60, but when talking endgame regen doesn't do much but reduce downtime slightly.

Ogre SK caps Str and hits somewhere near 200sta endgame Kunark already. Velious both oughta be capped unbuffed, dex nearly capped, agi lingering around the 120s region. 60str/50sta is crazy huge bytheway, majority of the stats among races are around the same numbers, so that ogre advantage is pretty immense. Basically higher str/sta means you can work your gear pieces on other stuff while those ikky SKs are sporting stamina earrings and str rings.

Front stun immunity biggest deal anyways. Played troll SK on red for a while, just felt awkward - fighting single mob 1v1 had to time spells around bashes. As ogre when you get 2-3 mobs on you you just cast FD and channel it no problems, while troll would apparently have to run away to get enough distance to cast it before they come bash interrupt. /cringe
