Ogre gets frontal stun immunity and best face in game. No competition.
You're disliked everywhere no matter which race you pick. Int doesn't matter since Disease Cloud costs 10mana. Stamina is ace.

Make sure you have 75agi at start tho, or you take an ac penalty.

I enjoyed playing my SK up to about 50 or so - I chose Iksar because I enjoy the Greenmist quest line (not finished in p99, yet).

I stopped enjoying myself, as many mellee twinks do, when soloing slowed way down.

Regen has played a big part in being able to solo - but the bottleneck for SKs is DPS and Mana. Mana regen is so poor, it usually has to be saved for emergencies. For this reason, I would suggest a troll SK - with Regen and the ability to use clicky Engulfing Darkness + clicky Fear starting at 46, you will be able to continue soloing. Find yourself a Polished Obsidian Great Axe and fear kite to your hearts content.

Even from the perspective of snaring, the SK mana pool/regen issue is dramatically bad. At 60m per cast, engulfing darkness is the choice for snaring running mobs, or fearing undead mobs at 19% when tanking group content. If you have the job of snaring, you will be sitting and holding pulls all the time without the Blood Ember Gauntlets as an Iksar. Wearing the blood ember gauntlets alone has made me consider rerolling my SK.

Mana consumption is a huge deal - and an often overlooked problem of the knight class.
