The guy talking about the uselessness of BE greaves once in velious does have a point tho. With death peace + feign death memmed, you have 2 FD, one that has a 4 sec refresh, so it renders the BE greaves completely useless. The stats are not good on them either.
There is an 8pt differencial when standing in regen between iksar/trolls and the rest of them. Let's not make that racial trait something it isnt. It's nice, but it is nowhere close to how OP stun immunity is. I died many times because I could not get the FD off with 4-5 mobs beating on me and interrupting my 1.5 sec FD cast.
Iksars do have a about 100 less AC than other SKs with similar gear during Kunark, so I would say they probably make the worst SK before velious releases. We do mitigate less, I would love to test it out with another SK on juggs sometimes to see the difference.
The slam ability isnt very usefull now for end game sks with epic cause we either use epic or 1hander + shield so slam doesnt get any use. Once we hit velious and Inny's curse gets replaced, slam will once again have its use and its very nice for interrupting casters. Dont talk about the dps plz, its negligeable.
All in all, race doesn't matter imo. You can have the best gear and be an ogre and still be a baddie, but Ogre and trolls in kunark have the edge for sure if you're into min maxing.
