If you're not rolling a gnome sk you're doing it wrong.

Erudite.

Be brave. Be different.

I did, name is Xijek. Lvl 30, currently in MM.

Pretty sure I haven't seen any other Erudite's and I have been here for a month and half.

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

If your not a troll or ogre you can only bash w epic

Good luck

[Uton]

trolls have vision too correct?

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

Shield swap; agree; agree; disagree; done.

Great points overall.

[Xaanka]

missed the part where he said he wouldn't /effort/ an epic, so slam actually makes a bit of a difference.

I guess if u want to be a sucker and be forced to use your kunark sword in order to bash. I'd rather use velious weapons. To each his own.

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.
