Ogre still best sk?

[Pheer]

my ogre sk easily had 255 str unbuffed in kunark gear, its probably the easiest stat to get on gear as an SK

The only reason to ever pick ogre over troll is for FSI and the only reason to pick any other race besides those two is for personal preference/fashionquest

When I made my SK guises were still available so i went ogre for FSI + still not having to deal with size issues, plus the high base stats were great to have in classic. If you made me pick between ogre/troll without the possibility of a guise I would probably go troll.

Cecily's complaint is about other people's oversized ogres making it difficult for melee.

As they are self only, the existence of shrink potions does not help dps when there are fatties that refuse to use them.

Those are bad ogres then.

They should be prepared to make others at ease with their massive size by shrinking down one time.

People feel much more comfortable with ogres when they are small, cute and cuddly!

Having played a troll SK on red and an ogre on blue, I would still point out that FSI is the most OP racial trait in the game, and anyone who argues otherwise just straight doesn't know what they're talking about.

Regen doesn't matter unless you plan to achieve the dream of soloing some lguk names and sit there regenerating for couple minutes less.

If you can pick Ogre, go Ogre. Applies to all the class choices that can do so.

Ogres can't worship Bertoxxulous, they are irrelevant!

My final character I have planned to make down the line is/was a Female Dark Elf SK. The problem is that I always wanted to roleplay a lipstick lesbian black knight who cleaves people in half and eats their souls.. but if I do that I won't have front stun immunity or regen.

Its a tough call man. What you guys think I should do?

I'm still laughing at the insistence ogres have a hidden stat.

Yeah i've been laughing about that for awhile now. Guy thinks nobody but him has played ogre lol. ( and even funnier thinks no one has looked at the code to find this ever) Ive played all the tank races except iksar and human and yeah theres no hidden values. Confrmation bias or tricked by the stats prob a combinaion of the two.

So how do people rate Erud SK?

I often see comments on how velious gear and buffs really rains down the melee stats, making them trivially capped...

Eruds are well sized, and also get to trade 5 near useless disease resist for 5 delicious, delicious magic resist!

Also Eruds look like BAMFs, and open Blade roleplay opportunities.

I rate whatever race a person prefers the look of to be the best choice.

I started a ogre SK last week and the main reason i went ogre.. FSI.... and i have whined about the size and having to duck to get through neriak. and not see mobs i am fighting. And other SK's have reminded me that if i re-roll, the first time i got stunned i would lose my mind.. and they are right [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
