What's so great about Iksar?

Agility should be of no benefit for having attacks miss you, it does help with mitigation some but requires large amounts. How agility behaves on p99 is, of course, unknown.

If you're going with 16 starting points into dex then you're 16 points ahead of the ogre (but now 43 points behind on sta) which is actually pretty marginal, it takes more 100 dex to go from 2 procs a minute to 4 procs a minute .. When talking about PvE you get +60 from Shaman buff, another +100 if getting avatar'd and you're capped without gearing or starting points. Without avatar you're looking at 85+60 = 145. Regardless of if you're in Velious or Kunark era you're getting 9+ from your BP. 154dex now. RBB you're looking at +10. 164 dex. Another +5 easy on your arms (planes armor). 169. +7 with gauntlets of fiery might on your hands 176. Looking at +9 or more on your back (CoF, SBC, Cloak of Shadows) for 185ish and make up the last +15 with your sky shoulders. This is with itemization that isn't compromising just to raise your dex letting you use you gear for Hp/Mana/Resists on all your other slots while maintaining a 43 base sta advantage and 60 base str advantage. Throw in that you'll be wearing a NoS (or Velious dragon equivilant) on your neck and you can switch out the fiery might gaunts for anything you prefer. This is assuming a well-equipped (but not uber/BIS) shadowknight.

If you're PvP'ing where you can assume there are no shaman buffs and you're relying on procs to save the day for you then you're doing it wrong, if you're thinking that 16 dex advantage is going to make a noticable difference in interruption rate then I'll ask for some actual proof. Meanwhile, this thread says Dex does nothing for interrupt rates: http://www.eqclerics.org/forums/showthread.php?t=1727. Iksar Regen in PvP is worthy of note however.

TL;DR The AC bonus is the only real advantage an iksar has in PVE and thats extremely dubious on P99, everything else is 1999 noob voodoo mechanics.

Dark elf? Dark elf. Dark elf is def the best.

p sure AC doesn't mean jack shit on this server

[radditsu]

Yes, if by interesting you mean "enslaved by giant snakes" "enslaved by dragons" "one dragon and his froglok (LOL) army stole our city and we now live in a third rate city that was blown to hell. You have another city underwater, another city taken over by a necromancer who lived the one time your lives weren't shit. You have vampires and spiders infesting kaesora. You have ghost of cazic failures infesting city of mist. An ancient outpost is taken over by Evil races, another by good races, goblin concerns, sarnak concerns, and you dont even have a proper alchemy vendor. Master race indeed.

Only master race can deal with all this! Other races would break down and cry in matter of minutes because you are all weak ugly looking softies who cant deal with problems.

[Stonecrush]

SK's? Greenmist anyone? One of the best 1hs tanking weapons for added aggro?

Thing procs a dot, ac and attack debuff. As far as I could tell from Wiki it is IKSAR only.

So screw the spells with a proc like that you're not gonna need to cast. The cleric behind you will take care of the smaller holes being punched into your chest because your AC is higher.

The QQing over the AC bonus is so old it can friggen vote. Sorry but the Iksars kept their bonuses because they have NO ONE to rely on except their own kind without a TON of factioning. They are the true race of sit on it a whirl. I've come to take your guards, money and pillage your lands!

I was the first dark elf on povar with greenmist... ain't that great.
