SK as a solo class

[pasi]

I think another real advantage is being able to channel fear through bash/kick for soloing stuff that summons or breaks fear frequently (obviously 55 and under stuff).

Grouping obviously favors ogre, but this is a solo thread.

Trolls have a good case for the best SK race for soloing 1-59. I'd rather be an Ogre at 60 though.

True arguments towards an ogre, but if you don't enjoy the ride it won't be fun. Passive regen while FD has saved me a few times. Also, crafty shadow knights should be soloing undead with their cheap, fast casting undead only fear until 49. Channeling standard fear does suck. I could also see being an ogre as an argument for being able to click BE gear while being hit, though I can get off the gloves or boots 80% of the time by just waiting for a mob to bash.

I went with Iksar, and despite p99 crashing a lot last night (not really sure why, normally runs fine) causing lots of deaths while LD. I really enjoy it so far. A fellow iksar sk dinged 60 while I was selling in town last night and I guess was feeling generous and handed me a full suit of banded, the racial iksar legs (forget the name) and a nathsar great sword. I must say, regardless of which race is the best race, my iksar is certainly fortunate!

I am enjoying the regen right now, granted low level, but no down time as of yet.

I have a druid friend who is almost 29 and when he levels I think he is gonna scooop me up and bring me over to freeport area, or maybe qeynos so I can do gnoll fangs. I've had to resort to the wolf form turn in before, not the most difficult thing in the world, but druids rarely travel to qeynos once they can port.

Anyway, thanks again everyone for the input.

My only remaining question is any quests or items not to difficult to obtain for a lower level that you would suggest questing / camping for?

Farm up a few hundred platinum and buy a pair of 5 AC 55 HP rings from a jewelcrafter ASAP, they're invaluable at low levels.

Can probably do some Dreadscale pieces in your low 30s or even lower if you're feeling adventurous and want to head to OT and try ask around for some of the drops. I'm also pretty sure I have a Dreadscale Bracer in the bank just rotting away if you're interested in it.

Hang around in WW and pick yourself up a pair of Iksar Scaled Gloves free at the gobby fort. They go to rot more often than not and have decent stats for Shadow Knights.

I just started on the server with a Troll SK.

I then found someone selling a nathsar greatsword (17/30 +10 str) for 200pp and asked if he would take 150pp and it has been amazing to level with.

Luckily I was able to get some about 150pp while I watch some shammy kill some guards; he let me loot and sell the weapons.

I would recommend the same (unless you really want sword and board). I'm only level 10 at the moment but i've been able to hit the max damage cap easily.
