I was specifically talking about Shadowknights though not monks. I definitely agree that Iksar monk is the way to go. SKs are more murky.
As stated previously, Ogres have MUCH better stats and stun immunity. That means less stuns received meaning higher dps and more dmg mitigation (can't parry, dodge, etc in stun). However, they have no regen.
Iksars have MUCH lower stats. W/o access to NToV and Avatar weps (my case), I can't see me ever even getting 200 str barely even with the best twink gear. Even if I did, an Ogre could have 5x pure resist gear on and have the same str. This just feels like a HUGE boost to Ogre, however, yes they don't have access to Greenmist.
So, maybe for solo dungeon crawling Sebilis an Ogre would be better, but I'd also like to factor in the ability to solo a Cliff Golem, of which an Iksar would have a large advantage (I'd think).
