That is the default and lazy answer people always give, but it doesn't answer OP's question. If people wanted the default and lazy answer, they wouldn't make a new thread asking a question. They already have the answer. We could just shut down the forums and have a splash screen that says: "Just do what you think is cool".

To answer OP's question:

Is Iksar SK worse for end-game solo crawling than other races?
Do the armor clickies account for serious mana saving etc?

Blood Ember will help with solo dungeon crawling. This is due to how much mana it saves you. Mana is the bottleneck of an SK typically speaking when soloing. Here is an example of me using Blood Ember Boots/Gauntlets in Sebilis: https://www.project1999.com/forums/s...&postcount=468

If you are worried about itemization based on race, I would advise against picking Iksar for the Shadowknight class. Greenmist is not as good as Blood Ember factually speaking. Greenmist will be replaced eventually. You can pick Troll and get Racial Regen + Blood Ember if you want both. Otherwise any other race will work fine. You can get a Fungi Tunic/Iksar BP to make up for lack of Racial Regen. For the first 50 levels, a character with Iksar BP is regenerating faster than a Troll/Iksar without one.

I think Dark Elf SKs look cool. Does anyone else think Dark Elf Sks look cool?

Always enjoyed my DE SKs, despite knowing I'm somewhat HP deficient etc and struggling on trash raid mobs more than my troll/ogre pals.

I still think male Trolls look best. They have great armor textures, and they have the best animation set in the game. For some reason the animator for male trolls just did a better job than all the other animators. SK's are evil, and Trolls look evil.

Except when I'm already running and click my jboots. Such an odd animation until it finishes.

I know that's not really what you're talking about but...

Anyway, I recently decided to try an SK again since I never really made it very far in the past, and I decided to go Troll this time.

Good choice! You're going to have fun.

Frontal stun immunity + FD/drains are amazing.

Be fat. Skelly form to hide your shame.

This is the way.
