SK race opinions?

Wow, baddies up in here IMHO. Your primary melee stats will be maxed endgame. INT will be the hardest to max. Depending on which race you choose, the difference means casting another "drain soul" - great for pvp and hard to overlook.

1. Iksar for AC, Regen, and manapool
2. Ogre for no frontal stun
3. Troll for regen

What do you lose by going Iksar?
1. Old school resist gears like ogre butcher gloves
2. Kunark gear clickies
3. Random Velious gear like Mithril Boots

iksars can't slam, their 2hs animation is fucking horrible, they don't look good as trolls, your stamina probably won't be maxed unless you have retarded gear

Yeah but OP specified he only cared about endgame. Slam is a non factor because you will have epic.

Iksar = + AC bonus +regen -locked out of a few minor items +good int
Troll = +regen +melee stats -fire resist penalty -HORRIBLE INT
Ogre = +fsi +melee stats
Erud/DE = +race doesn't matter anyways with good gear +cool points +good int

endgame means you'll have a better weapon than epic

i.e. palladius' axe of slaughter, petrified heartwood flamberge, lance of thunder, great spear of dawn, etc.

Shield swap; agree; agree; disagree; done.

Great points overall.
