Ogre is a Noob Trap

[ya.dingus]

We now have definitive proof that going over 200 of any stat has a very large diminishing return (nearly a 1% difference in actual output for any given stat).

In light of this, if you plan to play and gear your character in any kind of velious gear, you are overstating your character tremendously in where it matters (str, stamina), and losing an egregious amount of points in other areas (dex, wis, int).

In kunark it may have made sense to play an ogre because you could not reach these caps, but if you roll an ogre today, in velious, and gear them at all, you're left with a demonstrable weaker character than anyone who roles a any other race class combo that ogres possess.

And no, FSI does not make up for a nearly 45-50% overstating issue in the gear that's currently available in game.

In short, Ogre is a noob trap.
