Halfling Clerics get Hide AND Sneak (and +5% XP bonus). The only thing DE Clerics have over Halflings is the snare necklace.

But Dark Elf Wizards are the only race with Hide, so IMHO DE Wizard > DE Cleric.

go warrior and you will look freaking fantastic. could also do cleric or rogue because they are not so popular a choice thanks to the relative ease of obtaining a DE mask.

Dark elves are best at being nerds wet dreams. Them skimpy red outfits they start in.

They can see in the dark the best

Basketgnomes, FTE races, trap hurdling, but they are not good at Halas pond hockey or Velketor ice skating. Really just depends what kind of sports you want your toon in.

They told you what they are best at... FASHION! ;)

Hide in caves with neon decorations

They are good intelligence casters.

Like everyone said, fashion. If you wanna be cute, enjoy yourself. Choose race based on who you want your character to be not stats. Stats ftl.

Iksar is the best necro by a country mile. Dark elves look dope - but since you're almost always in skelly form, you don't get to see yourself all that often anyways.

Dark Elf Int Casters can wear the Cultural chain. Every piece has at lease 2 int.
