Rogue race and stats

Halfling doesn’t wall vision anywhere as well as gnome.

No, but a shrunk halfling does. And halfling illusion makes you a shrunk halfling.

Why are so many people commenting here with no clue about what's going on?

Oh wow that is a real top tip! Is this classic or p1999 bug?

TIL. But for posterity it should be noted that the halfling mask doesn't drop until the end of the timeline (it's not out on green yet) and a pita to acquire iirc.

That being said I might have to pick up the mask once Chardok 2.0 drops. I find carrying extra pots super annoying personally.

This really is big if true.

I don’t think the disciple symbol quest line halfling illusion makes you a shrunk halfling, so it surprises me to learn the chardok one does. I’ll check it out!

It’s a discussion forum - the whole idea is to exchange knowledge, ask/answer questions, be social and grow (both individually and community).

Barbarian is the worst choice you can make on a top heavy pve server and only makes sense as a good choice on a fresh server. Anyone arguing over str benefits of being a barbarian is being silly. Dwarf and gnome are best.

[Samoht]

I do not know if it is a bug or not. Somebody in the bug forums claims it to be a bug with zero research provided in the thread, so it is basically ignored.

Until then, it is a nice little perk of using the illusion.

And anybody can carry shrink pots.

Back on topic, the rogue race selection for me is whatever is best for end game gear and not having to swap to resist gear at all.

Dorf makes those requirements before any other race because so much gear has STR and even STA, but MR is a little lacking.

Why would I invest so much time and DKP into getting super high end equipment to bag it for items with 1 or 2 more MR when I can pick the right race that starts with more MR?

"Why would I invest so much time and DKP into getting super high end equipment to bag it for items with 1 or 2 more MR when I can pick the right race that starts with more MR?"

I never said to bag anything. When I said "swap out" I meant you buy a better replacement item and sell or trade the old unneeded item. This was under the assumption that the Dwarf and Barbarian in the example have the exact same gear. As a Barbarian you are +13 str and +5 sta on a Dwarf so you can replace items earlier.
