If I'm gonna be a Paladin, it's gonna be a Dwarf. I like my barrel roll.

Sadly Female dwarves don't get barrel roll. But I guess the Beard and the huge knockers make up for it.

Shadowknights can be ogres. I mean that should end this thread.

The ability to snare fear, dot, fd, hide, instant click invis. I mean prior to the invis pulling thread, who would not want to have fun pulling on an SK virtually god mode throughout any zone, no wonder so many people complained about that shit. Jealousy. Not only can we heal ourselves, but do detrimental damage while doing so is huge.

Shadowknights generate way more hate for agro. Our epic hits harder, looks cooler, better effect.
Our class choices are far superior, seeing how we can have immune frontal stun, more stamina, the ability to choose classes that can slam prior to using epic.

Who said Ogres were the top tier Godlike no comparison race to end all races?

Elaborate. Because I don't see how frontal stun immunity is THAT HUGE. The massive Str/Sta scores and Slam maybe, but...

I've played both an ogre and a troll SK, and the troll felt like a huge downgrade in efficiency. Even with just one mob, you have to time your spells to get them off between the bash rounds. Multiple mobs on you, it's just not happening. Panic situation with mobs about to kill you, you'll be relying on luck to get an FD off.

It's not "THAT" huge, but it is pretty damned awesome, and no doubt best racial ability in the game. On a warrior it hardly matters, but on SK/SHM stun immunity is awesome. People can act like it's not such a huge deal and how they don't get what all the fuss is about, and I'd say they've only seen one side of the fence.

SK is the only argument I see.

Shamans have slow which greatly reduces occurrence of bashes.
Warrior stuns are annoying but hardly effect your ability to tank at all
SK the FD pull thing is huge, not getting that interrupted is very crucial. That being said, Iksars are very boss... Especially come Velious. Dat Greenmist, so classic, so epic, so many wow.

Frankly, since it's all about the pixels, Half-Elf Paladin/Warrior/Bard are the best available race/class combos. With classic graphics no other race looks half as sharp as a Half-Elf in plate, male or female. The only real competition is Ogre or Troll anything, that ass-scratching idle animation makes up for an awful lot of ugly. Dorfs and lizards have all the fugly of an Ogre/Troll with none of the ass-scratching awesomeness.

Until you get to Velious armor, when all the other paladin races beat out the HEF dildo helmet (dem human dragon, dwarven bucket, and high elf white tiger helmets).
