- Iksar SK's : imo the best. Racial attributes like regen and better AC, best Sta / int / Str / Dex / agi combo of all SK races. They get Greenmist which is far easier to do than Innoruuk's curse and its really unique. Once Velious is out, they get to wear the same armor as others thus getting an AC boost.
Only real problem is faction and finding certain pieces of armor.

- Troll SK's : they do look cool and really evil. Troll regen + very good sta and str. However rather low int, which mean small mana pool and crappy dex too.

- Ogre SK's : Best Sta and Str of all, and frontal stun immunity. However poorest int dex and agi. Personally I think Ogre SK's are just a poor man's warrior since the int is so low.

- Dark Elf SK's : 2nd coolest looking ones, very good int, small race (useful in many places) however very low sta/str plus KOs all over.

- Erudite SK's : best int of all meaning biggest mana pool. Also imo coolest look and coolest home city. however weak Sta and Str wise.

Some misinformation and lack of it there if you gonna make an exhaustive list like that - if I may.

a) You don't mention the slam argument for trolls & ogres, which is a big argument. Having a stun with a short cooldown while wielding a 2h is just great, and given SKs weak dps, the damage it does is welcome.

b) Ogres have better INT than trolls, contrary to your claim, and while 75 DEX isn't anything to be proud of, Trolls have the 2nd best base DEX after Iksars

Erudite SKs also have base 70AGI, so you'll be facing an AC penalty unless you stick 5 starting points into AGI. only SK race that you need to do that with.

c) Ogres also need to put 5 points in AGI or gear accordingly if they don't, as they also start at 70.

d) Also, about the blood ember, while I globally agree with you, saying the full set is useless is by far an overstatement. The gloves, especially while soloing or with a solid group which never lets you a second to meditate, are just godly. And being Ogre helps a ton there too, trust me [You must be logged in to view images.

No offense though, I'm a player who favours fun over min-maxing as much as I like my character to be optimized and always will claim one should play a race which he/she finds fun over optimized - however if we do compare em all thorougly, guess we gotta do it right, to help the people trying to decide on basis of this make the right choice [You must be logged in to view images.
