SK Race Choice

[Stroboo]

This is just my opinion.
The race exp penalties is real and it totally sucks so no Iksar, troll or Ogre
Being a large race sucks so no Troll or Ogre.
so DE, Human or Erudite
DE is best fashion in simple to get/cheap thurg armor, so my recommendation would be DE.

give your pet staff of battle or baton of faith for high dmg, have fun!

You're not missing out. The boots are absolute garbage.

Untrue. They are great mana savers when dealing with living mobs. When a mob is snared and pathing back to you, you can get a good chunk of the Fear casting done from the boots before the mob reaches you. With channeling being strong on P99, you are often able to land the spell even after taking multiple hits.

https://youtu.be/mI_IJ_F1GCY?feature=shared&t=325 - Here is an example of me using Blood Ember Boots and Blood Ember Gauntlets in Sebilis. 40 mana from your normal Fear spell takes 1 minute to recover while standing when you have FT2 and FT1 items equipped. Saving a minute of recovery per cast if you don't want to waste time meditating is nice. It's even better when you don't have FT2 or FT1 items yet. When you only have 1 mana regen per tick standing, that is 40 ticks to recover a single fear spell if you are trying to avoid meditation downtime. Engulfing Darkness is 60 Mana, so I am saving a total of 100 mana per combination use of Blood Ember Boots and Gauntlets. This means I do not need to spend 30 seconds meditating that mana back, or waiting 2.5 minutes to recover that via standing regen.

Efficient soloing is about managing HP and Mana levels properly, trying to ensure one doesn't get too low. With Troll Regen + 2x AoB + Epic, I am always regenerating HP faster than Mana while standing, so it is fine if I take a few extra hits while casting Blood Ember Boots/Gauntlets.

6s cast for an 18s max duration fear that you have to recast at 12s if you want the mob to be perma feared - which you will want to do in most cases since you don't want to be getting beat on for 6s while you're channeling.

You have absolutely no clue what you're talking about.

The boots are garbage.

A mob being perma-feared is not ideal in an area like Sebilis. You don't want the mob running through the entire zone, getting adds lol. That is why you use your low duration fear and run the mob back to an area without mobs.

I've got video evidence and math proving you wrong. You clearly didn't watch the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mI_IJ_F1GCY&t=325s . Please stop spreading misinformation because you don't understand how to use Blood Ember Clickies, or how to fear kite in tight spaces.
