Halfling...

While Halfings are the most aesthetically pleasing race, OP hasn't come around yet :/

But we digress...

Between Wood Elf and Dark Elf, there's a few things to consider:

1) Regular Plate Appearance

Both look excellent in regular plate, though some dislike the Wood Elf helm (I happen to be a fan). Ultimately, this is a personal, qualitative decision.

2) Regular Chain Appearance

Some armor will frustratingly have that chain graphic—*cough* fungi tunic *cough*. Between the races, both chain graphics aren't the best, but the advantage is definitely Dark Elf. The tree on the Wood Elf graphic is dorky and makes you look like a Ranger.

3) Velious Plate Appearance
Both rather good, but with ridiculous helmets. I prefer the Dark Elf helmet, but the custom helms are mostly avoidable in favor of no graphic either way.

4) Guise of the Deceiver
Due to Guise, there are plenty of Dark Elf looking Warriors around, so you will be significantly less unique than you would be as a Woodie.

5) Ultravision vs Forage
Both useful abilities. I think Forage is a bit more powerful as it cannot be replicated, but ultravision is definitely super nice.

All races look pretty good with a matching set. Prob is some items are simply better than the set itself. Fungi is a massive item for almost all who can wear it. Even if you have a tank BP a fungi will have its purposes.

Of the two the DE is slightly better fungi fashion to the WE. Neither are exactly great though.

I play a 57 wood elf in full thurg gear. Be warned until you have the thurg gear you will be mistake for a ranger, but it’s totally worth it they look kickass and I have 3050 hp plus good ac so I’m good for tanking too. Very happy with my decision I look like a silver samurai

If male, go dark elf. If female, I'd lean wood elf. Mostly basing this off the custom helm look. If it's a tie, go dark elf. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
