Shadow Knight - Race

[easy_lee]

Make a large race anyway.

The problem with not doing so as an SK, Warrior, etc., is that you have to wear resist gest to PvP well. That means less gear to increase your strength and stamina, meaning you basically need BiS or a significant gear advantage to compete with an ogre or troll as anything other than an ogre or troll.

If you're determined not to play ogre or troll, play iksar. Their racials are better than the others', and you have the opportunity to get gear now that velious is out. People used to play dark elf due to a bug that let one hide while casting spells, meaning you could split camps as a dark elf shadow knight, and use the invis mask to pull individual mobs across an entire zone (such as guk). That bug got fixed, so there's no reason to play dark elf now. Invisibility is better than hide.
