Thank you to everyone who’s responded. One of the reasons I love the forums is it’s a fairly free place where ideas can battle in the arena. Definitely didn’t see much in the way of “shit posts” but hey maybe I don’t have an eye for it.

To add a little clarity, I am concerned with min/max to the capacity of not wanting to be pigeon holed into one role because of racial selection. I like variety and the SK can definitely fulfill a number of duties when pressed into service. I’m not part of a true end game guild but do raid regularly (combined forces, mediums sized targets, etc.). Where we have more opportunities for less than optimized role filling.

I wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing an important game mechanic that would be painfully obvious after a 50+ lvl grind. Just for point of preference I don’t think I’ll play a non-large race melee again, I’m just too in love with slam (I know it’s possible to switch to a shield but convenience people!).

Thanks again!
No problem! You certainly will not be pigeon holed based on race. Honestly this doesn't happen with any class/race combination in P99. As long as you are good at your class, people don't really care.

Troll Regeneration will help quite a bit if you prefer to solo, unless you have a https://wiki.project1999.com/Fungus_Covered_Scale_Tunic ready to go for this new character. Shadowknights only get Regeneration, Bind Wound, and https://wiki.project1999.com/Dark_Runed_Breastplate (or Kael/Skyshrine equivalent) for out of combat recovery. You should get https://wiki.project1999.com/Embalmers_Skinning_Knife to Bind Wound yourself, and speed up recovery times.

Ogre Frontal Stun Immunity is good for any situation where you are getting hit, and will give you more mileage in groups/raids. This is because racial regeneration isn't that big of a deal in groups/raids, since you will have a dedicated healer most of the time.
