Is Dark Elf a good race for SKs?

The size of your manapool doesn't really matter because your spells are pretty cheap.

The lack of stamina is moderately crappy but I think SKs are a lot more forgiving than warriors because you have only one stat: hp (and AC) so unlike warriors you don't have to worry about dex etc. The strength is irrelevant as your SK dps will be utter shit anyway.

The real advantage ogres have is frontal stun immunity. This is big because mobs bash a LOT now, so you'll get way more spells off and you'll have a much easier time splitting with FD if thats your thing. Of course, you'll still get interrupted by push.

Basically its always the same, its not the minmax choice but that doesn't mean you can't be effective and have fun. Good player > minmax class/race choices as always.

Maybe at higher levels the spells are cheap, but I know at lv22 (and decently geared) my mana pool drains v ery quickly when casting the new spells.. I think engulfing darkness takes something like 12-13% of my mana, and thats as a dark elf with 120 int
