Personally I like eruds cos they can fashion quest in flayed skin and loot reclaim energy at low levels. I put 10 str 5 agi 5 dex cos i believe (no evidence) that skill ups are much slower below 75 dex (eqemu code doesn’t back this up - i think it is a custom correction implemented by p99 - one day I may test it).
In the hey day of dwerium trio on live i had a ds/regen build erud SK that could solo naggy… this may have biased me toward them.
My first toon on p99 was a troll sk though - their stats/regen felt like it made up for gear gap as an impoverished newb (in those days guk was well farmed and you’d receive many gifts xping in the area) … my trio partners were enc/druid and i ended up rerolling halfling warrior cos they complained how much xp slowed down with fatty hybrid tank compared to solo.
