And they look VERY cool.
Definitely not, with an int of 77 I can hold down chain pulls almost indefinitely (or have done up to Lvl 40 at least). Sure, I could have rolled a DE and had a massive mana pool, but a troll's innate strength (as with an ogre) gives more melee dps.

I think the "go INT" argument on a SK only really applies if you want to solo, disease cloud (your aggro spell) is 10 mana - barely a dent in even a big race's mana pool [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

An aside, healers prefer the big races for tanks... in a crisis they have more stamina/HP.

Well, that's my case for the big guy anyway [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
