Most powerful race/class combos? Least powerful race/class combos?

[htabdoolb]

Been thinking about this a bit, and I wonder what other people's opinions might be. Every race has its advantages and disadvantages, and so too do the various classes. Which of these build upon the strengths of the other? For example, the classic combo of an warrior ogre. The ogre's natural high strength and stamina, combined with frontal stun immunity, make for a good pairing with the warrior class's needs and abilities.

Then on the other hand, what might the opposite be? The least powerful pairing of race and class. Especially if we opened up race restrictions for each class. Would an ogre enchantress be the most pitiful, or would it instead be the high elf warrior?

Ogre enchanter would be amazing. I can't even imagine how strong frontal stun immunity would be on an enchanter.

Gnome shaman would be pretty silly,but it'd still be a shaman so....hmm
every class pretty strong other than shitterknights,so any shitterknight would be the least powerful

If you don't know how to time a stun such that you don't get hit on an Enchanter you should maybe stop enchantering

Nobody said FSI was required to play Enchanter effectively. Obviously this is the case, since you can't get it.

That doesn't mean it wouldn't be nice to have. It increases your survivability by reducing the odds of an unlucky bash stun, however you ended up getting said bash stun.

I'm often dealing with pets that summon, quad and are ofcourse hasted
The mobs Im killing also summon,and are often too high level to stun.

Cliff golems summon and are also unstunnable and immune to all mez except rapture, so I just consider rapture a long emergency stun in that case. But you can also just face tank them during breaks cause they're slowed and you're runed\bedlam'ed while your pet is mezzed. Thank god for channeling.

Solo encs kill cliff golems way faster but also way more dangerously than solo shams. The extra deaths\rez downtime for encs probably cancel out, roughly.

big yikes

Regardless I'd like to see someone who can reliably AE stun like that. You have to time the spell to land precisely in the however many millisecond time-frame between the mob entering the maximum range for stun and melee range.

And even if you could execute that ~90% of the time, it's still useless as you'll get murdered with interrupts when you're a fraction of a second too late. That's what rune(s) are for, to absorb a few hits through channeling stun.

Ogre mage would be not good. Gygax weeps for what Brad wrought.

Iksar any class that can’t be iksar?
