Iksar vs Ogre
 
Hello all,

I have been doing some research, I definitely want to make a new character and I think a warrior could be fun. I'm not into the end game raiding scene, but while leveling up I feel there is a severe lack of tanks, so I'd like to help alleviate that. I just can't decide between an Iksar and an Ogre. Those who play warriors (or just whoever has knowledge about them) which race would you choose, and why?

Iksar - Regen, Racial AC bonus, Great Swimmer, Isnt a Glutton.
Ogres have the best starting stats but.. Youre ugly, fat, eat a lot, and that "cant be stun/bashed from the front thing is overrated.
Iksar best. No contest.

Not overrated. It's nice not being perma-stunned on raid mobs. Also, AC worthless on this server. Armor graphics phoned in by SoE though.

Iksar I don't think have better swimming, they just start at higher skill level.
Ogres have racial slam ability, which is a pretty big deal up until get stun on your kicks, and even then your bash/slam will still cap higher than kick, so you should keep using it. You also don't mention that iksar have the worst faction of any race. Iksar is also a bit harder to equip since they can't use a lot of the plate items in the game. Velious stuff helps but you'll probably have to pay a premium for it. There is also a 5% higher experience penalty for iksar.

I'd probably take an ogre if you aren't going to be able to super twink out your character and also plan to mostly stick to grouping. Since you aren't going to be raiding, it's really not going to make a ton of difference at the end of the day so don't lose too much sleep over what you pick. If you do change your mind about riading, that stun immunity becomes a lot more valuable, though.

Iksars are ugly as hell, but not as ugly as Ogres, so go Iksar.

Ogres are also huge, and there are some places where they can't fight because they are so large. There's not always a shammy around for shrink, though you can get ant potions.

Just something to consider.
