End-Game Shadowknight: Race Differences?

[Trillian]

Hey there, so I've poked around a bit on the forums and the wiki and it seems that people settle into one of two camps. Iksar is the Best camp vs the Ogre is the Best camp, with both agreeing that people should play whatever they enjoy the most.

I understand that Iksars get an AC bonus, but I haven't seen any real calculations on how much of a bonus this is. They also have regen, which is especially nice while leveling, but it doesn't seem like it'd matter at the high-end or if you were in a group with a healer. Sure, it's nice, but it hardly seems like a 'stand out' ability, with the exception of soloing. Oh, and yes, they get Greenmist during Velious, a very nice weapon.

I also understand that Ogres get relative stun immunity, which is quite nice as well in certain situations and the ability to Slam.

My question is, do the stats really matter?

But my real question, as above, is this. In the end, with gear bonuses taken into account, does an extra 60 strength and 50 stamina really make that big of difference? I was looking at Velious-era gear and the bonuses you get from Strength and Stamina would push even an Erudite over the 200 mark and there seems to be a 'soft cap' for most stats.
