Good race for SK

[mjrau]

Hi guys,
I'm looking for a few ideas about the best race for an SK (was going to go Iskar) or a thread about the best race for SK so that I can read anything else that might point me in the best direction.
Cheers

Play what you want. Im an Ikky SK and i will say the road is tough. i wouldnt change though because its the class/race combo I've always wanted to play. come velious all SKs will be little skeletons running around anyways.

no such thing as good race for SK.. all SK are evil.. perhaps you will want to play human, as they are least evil

there's another thread if you dig a few pages where we all discussed it in length.

But, TL[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]R = Ogre of course!

If you want to mini-max and split hair in 4, go ogre, if you want to have fun, play whatever toon whose backside you find the nicest, after all, you are about to stare at this butt for quite a few hours, whatever race you go with.

Play ogre cuz they're awesome fun and cool looking. You get to talk about eating gnomes in bad english with fellow ogrums, while ikky SKs are talking leetspeek and calling ppl minmax noobs while hurtling untold amounts of AC/regen charts and making empty promises about Velious SK tanking.

Also best starting stats + best racial perk.

best racial perk.

Disagree. If your defensive stats and AC are high enough, how often do you get stunned from the front? once every 10 minutes? So once every ten minutes you've saved yourself the trouble of not being able to swing for 4 whole seconds.

How about regen.

Active 100% of the time

Valuable outside of combat and in combat alike.

Reduces downtime by half, or more.

just sayin. Troll or iksar FTW.

Though my first choice on Blue was Dark elf; Don't have to worry about tight spaces, high int, and sweet sweet skull helm graphics.

@Xer0, we all agree that regen is a nice perk and that it will cut downtime big time, which is nice with 68% exp malus isn't it. Clearly leveling wise, iksars and trolls have that edge especially since ogres are close behind exp-malus wise.

However, in an end-game/raid setting, regen hardly serves any purpose compared to ability to land FD if you're pulling, or your spells if your tanking, without being interrupted.
