And like I said, by the time you get all that gear where your base strength becomes irrelevant your staring int becomes similarly irrelevant.

Not strictly true... Sta and int are hard to cap, str is trivial, I'd be happy to trade 20str for 10int or 5sta now...

[DMN]

Who cares about capping int? Someone who flunked SK school. If having a bigger mana pool increased your mana regen I could sorta see how it still be somewhat useful. But it doesn't. SKs don't mana dump.

All Hail the Queen of Darkness (I only have 201 str unbuffed)

[DMN]

You mean you didn't get all BiS the moment you hit your upper 50s? No wai.

[Jimjam]

Yea, the idea you will always easily stumble into max Str unbuffed by accident on weak races is kinda nonsense. Even in fairly good gear you might not make it.

[elwing]

I don't even have a single Skyshrine armor and I am at 224 as a human... The mandatory fos cap me by many points already...

Edit: that's counting steal strength... I always use it, cost nothing and a debuff can't hurt...

Id say Ogre but only for one reason.....

I think SK epic is one of the coolest looking weapons in the game, and ogre's have the biggest model thus making their sword even bigger... so the bigger you can make your SK epic the better

Ogres

Biggest model so their gear is big and looks cool
Nice stats
Frontal Stunt Resist
Scratches butt frequently
Can block doorways in tight dungeons so people can't leapfrog you
Cute kinda like how a bulldog is cute

I just re-rolled my 33 ERU to an ogre, mostly for something new to do.

Additionally, my theorycrafting is that FSI is most important for SK's. If you have to split spawns bash interrupts are likely since it seems that is the first attack most npc's throw. Likewise reverse kiting if fear breaks slightly before you finish casting a refresh they are likely to attempt another bash since it's recycled while they were feared. Plus of course slam and all the stats.

"Most important for sks" I mean...
* Shams can slow and put the bash timer into the stratosphere.
* Warriors don't cast and even a momentary front physical stun isn't consequential.

My ogre is lvl 10 and really enjoying slam again. Plus of course getting murdered by willowisps [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
