I tend to agree with you as an individual who has been around a while and has managed to make a fair few plat and such. However you're failing to point out that as a new player with 0 gear or platinum, the extra 60ish stamina/strength you get by choosing ogre or troll completely DOES make a difference in both tyour survivability and ability to deal damage.

Level a Druid to 29/34 for quick plat and semi twink um.

Yeah, but the problem is a Warrior is not a cheap class to play, and playing a Evil Race one is even harder for a Noob. I would him rather be a Gnome, easier I would think in the short run, get it, short.[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Doesn't really matter, we've had wood elf and dark elf MA and SA who have even worse stats (stamina) than gnomes.

And frontal stun immunity is nice but it's not that important for a warrior (it's more relevant to a soloing shaman). Aggro can be always be solved in xp groups by rooting and on bosses with mallets and root nets.

Gnomes have the same hitbox as a halfling though, and halflings have arguably better stats. Dwarves have even better warrior stats, but level slower.

So if you want a small race that levels fast with a minor stat penalty, Halfling. If not, Dwarf. No reason to go gnome other than appearance.

So in other words, a shorty could stand within melee range of a fatty while being outsid the fatty's melee range?

Troll is the master race... ogre is over rated. All ogre does is hit str/sta cap slightly earlier, which doesn't make that huge of a difference. I'd gladly take the regen leveling over the stun immunity, you literally never notice it as a melee really. Iksar is like a troll that can't wear the best armors... and gets an ac bonus and is even more hated.. but fits through doors and keeps the regen.

All other races you are basically just choosing looks imo. Faction means nothing, you don't level in cities and don't ever have to train as a warrior really, not like you are buying spells regularly. So you only need to vendor sometimes, which with a ton of strength, and eventually even WR bags, you're a heck of a pack mule. Hell my barbarian rogue is known as the 400lb rogue because I will never stop looting and will pass off lighter items that stack and take full bags of fine steel in to vendor haha.

I'd go gnome SK maybe but not warrior. Halfling better in every way unless you're gong for tinkering... and Halfling has some cool armor honestly. But then if I wasn't playing an evil race, I'd be a barbarian. Only reason to be a non large race is if playing a class they can't be, in my book. Honestly you can play anything you like and it 100% DOES NOT MATTER.

Play an erudite paladin, no one will care, and you will get to enjoy shield of the stalwart seas. The game was made to be enjoyed by everyone. Make anything you want and enjoy!

not as quick plat as you'd think. people are stingy and lots of druids around for porting.

Took me a few weeks to port up a fungi.

the question is: how greatly are you hindering yourself by NOT making a gnome warrior
