Shadowknight - Ogre vs Human

[Troxx]

FSI is overrated.

Play you think looks the best. Fashionquest = most important stat

Also, I'd like to note that human SK can get the same exact gold plane of growth plate I wear, but paladins can't. I think this would be a dope sk.

wait...which one is this

ive never seen a gold BP on a SK

IMO disregard the XP penalty now that class penalty is gone.

Ogre has the best stats for starting but eventually with raid gear and a lot of dedication you will max stamina and strength either way. Primal weapons will also buff your dex to the point of it being maxed. Agi is more or less useless people say but Dark Elves have the best. Dark elves also have the highest INT, which is hard to max on a class like Ogre so if you wanna be technical, Dark Elves have the best stats for SK.

But..

FSI is considered useful for tanking and can also save your life when soloing and will be a QoL thing to be sure. Personally I'd much rather take regen however. It's not often that it'll make or break anything grouping and you don't really do much during raids anyway, regen will however be really strong for both solo end-game and leveling.

Some still swear by FSI though, so go Ogre if you prefer. I'd go Troll since Iksar can't use the clicky plate items but Iksar does get the AC boost which we don't really know how good or bad it is (afaik). Iksar also looks cool and could never get guise anyway if minmax is an issue for you. Technically guise is not so important for SKs since they get skellyform and they're evil to begin with, so once again up to you.

Even Dark Elves tank just fine

Play what you want to look at

You guys are making some good points. I never thought about dark elves, but they do look pretty sexy in plate. I already have a troll so I don't want another one. Iksars have tails, so that's out.

I think human or dark elf might be the way to go. Ogres are just so.... ogrey.

flip a coin and get grinding!

dark elf would prob be my vote but nothin wrong with regular ole hooman

[sajbert]

Just keep in mind dark elf stats are pretty terrible until raid geared.
Twinking will help but not mitigate the problem entirely.

Onthe bright side leveling an SK has never been easier with lots of cheap velious gear available and no class XP penalty.

[skulldudes]

honestly stats are an absolute non-factor unless you're completely broke, my human monk nearly caps stam just self-buffed and hits 250+ str w/ FoS and my gear is mid at best prioritizing hp/resists

Dark elves get that sweet plate helm. And you can see in the dark. Mine looks badass. But having leveled him to 30, I feel like if he was an ogre I would have kept leveling him. Just because it’s annoying getting stunned. My 2c. He still has the best swag and gets compliments tho
