You can also get welcomed by iksar... I am as a fellow Bertoxxulous worshipper...

Non kos to iksars?

Yes, took thousands of goblins, iksar bandit and exactly 260 stacks of bone chips, but I'm fine now, trough most merchant won't sell, I have to bank FD and the haggle baron still wants my head, I'm fine with all guild and there's some merchant on guild factions...

Thinking about starting an ikky SK. Where would you recommend starting stats? For those 60 well-geared ikky SKs, wheres your str/sta unbuffed?

Less than a similiarly geared ogres!
Hur hur hur.

Got em.

I dont play an sk.

But heres a summary of what I understand:

Ikky sk:
Average starting stats
*Regen
*Small ac bump at 60 (i think itd like 40-50 extra ac).
*Amazing 1hs questable
*Can wear robes for fashion question: vp robe/skyshine robe if your super lucky.
*With your greenmist main hand you can pick up a nice shield to boost your ac even more.
*def the more fashion quest race

Ogre:
Amazing melee stats, but if you raid alot these dont matter bar INT/AGI
Frontal stun (great for getting fd off in shit situations)
2hand bash.
Base regen is a joke.
*beast tank looking

Troll:
Great melee stats.
Regen
2hand bash.
*great custom velious helm
*could be considered the inbetween ikky-ogre race

Human/eurodyke = meh. Eurodyke has amazing int tho.

You're gunna do slightly more base damage with ogre and troll till you get raid geared/buffed to the teeth on the ikky sk.

Also ogre+troll is large races which is shit for Kunark/classic dungeons. So expect to carry some shrink pots.

I also believe you can have 100 int starting on an ikky if you dump points in to one? Which helps with your life taps/fear kiting etc. I think trolls you can get 87 starting with points dumped in to it.

If I was a casualish non super raiding player I'd go ikky or troll.

Esp if your forced to solo at some point. A fungi+natural regeb is nice.

I'd dump all points in to INT too.

Is a class that shines as group tank best, trying to max int to have many lifetaps is just silly. Shoulda just played a necro if plans to solo. Same for regen.

Only thing em gonna concede in this is that ogre velious plate is the worst graphic. FashionQuest wise troll wins.

A pal/sk without mana is like a wet noodle for damage and use. Their power lies within their spells/manapool.

I'd 100% argue int/wisdom is the most.important stat on sks/pals.

Agi/int/wisdom are the 3 hardest stats to get above 200 in velious. Str/stm are easy for raiding players. Esp if you're a ogre/troll. I think you only need 205 stm base and a shaman will take you the rest of the way to 255. So if you raid alot you def wanna focus on int.

Put it this way: (theory example only)

Ogre Sk #1

Player put 10 str 10 stm
210str =max hit 200
190 stm = 3k hp
110int = 1800mana

Ogre sk #2

Player went 20 int
200 str = 195 max hit
180stm = 2930hp
130int = 2000mana

Throw buffs on those 2 ogres and you end up with pretty much the same melee stats only difference is onr has 200 more mana. (Theory example only)
