Ogre or Gnome?!

[Tecmos Deception]

Well, as I work on building my "1 of every tank + 1 ranger" account to completion (9 erudite paladin, 36 ogre sk, and 24 human ranger so far!), I'm starting to think I want to make the warrior for the account soon. But I'm quite torn on what race.

On the one hand, ogres are immune to frontal stuns. And after starting this account with the ogre SK, and then doing the erudite pally and human ranger, I have concluded that I would rather have my balls cut off IRL than spend 60 levels getting constantly bash stunned. However, my intense hatred of stuns might be partly due to the fact that I often fight multiples with these twinks, and those mobs tend to be near or above my character's level, and the those two characters also are trying to cast spells frequently... so maybe as I level up and I more often deal with just 1 mob at a time and that 1 mob misses more of its bashes and I'm on a warrior, it won't be so bad? I also FEEL (but certainly don't know) like ogres have a better melee reach than the lesser races? Certainly seems easier to stay in range of fleeing mobs on my SK than it does my ranger.

On the other hand, gnomes. Ya heard? Gnomes. Gnome warriors are less common on p99 than erudite paladins. Gnome warriors have incredibly godly Velious armor models. And Velious gear, even for a fella like me who plays a shitload but doesn't do hardcore raiding, will do a nice job I think, compensating for a gnome's less-than-ideal stats. But yeah, they get stunned by bash and they maybe have melee reach issues?
