Is Dark Elf a good race for SKs?

Having the ability to hide always sold me on DE's.

All SKs get Hide so not much of a selling point methinks.

DE is a good race for SK, sure.
Ogre best though. /nod

Who is soloing and/or fear kiting at level 15 without decent gear? That's their problem, then. lol

[Tarathiel]

the op suggest's that twink gear isnt a problem so i wouldnt see why not, engulfing darkness isnt untill lvl 22 tho, thats when i started fear kiting/soloing on my sk. up till then i was in oasis mostly those croc's are easy even for non-twinks to fear kite

No, they have nothing good going for them for melee stats. Dark elves make fine casters, but are terrible for melee classes. If you want a "small" option, go human.

Good point.

Each race has a different class selection available to it. I think that they tried to give the races a wide selection, but they shot themselves in the foot by overstretching and being unable to compensate.

Having said that, don't underestimate the power of the "little things" when a player is making a choice to choose a race/class combination. I myself have picked solely on aesthetic before. To give an example, I think that the halfling is a better ranger than a half elf, but I like how half elves are more.

From best to worse:

Ogre, troll, human, erudite, DE, Iksar.

Iksar are last in kunark because they usually have lower AC than any other SKs.

Iksar post-velious become 2nd, arguably first, but I still think 2nd because of the stun immunity which is just so big when casting that FD!

Coolness factor:

Erudite!

I wish I had rolled an Eru sk [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
