Why i chose Barb on live, and why i chose it again on P99, yes the other races have neat bonuses, but they also have huge draw backs.
Ogres do not get stunned, but you are big and hard to maneuver in tight spaces, you are also hated in good cities, so limited banking options, you can prolly solo best with Ogre. 5% Xp penalty more than Barbs.
Trolls you regen faster, but you are also big and hard to maneuver in tight spaces like Ogre. Also hated in good cities, limited banking options. Less downtime, but also 10% Xp penalty more than Barbs.
Iksar you regen faster, but are hated everywhere, very limited banking. AC bonus, but limited gear options compared to the other races. Less downtime, but again 10% Xp penalty compared to Barbs.
Yes at 60 Barbs do not have the race bonuses, but at 60 those bonuses are less of a factor. Play what you like, i prefer Barbs because its easier i guess.
