SK: Erudite or Ogre?!

[garfo]

Making an SK alt for fun -- I love the idea of Erudite for roleplay and fashionquest, but is there any info out there for truly how gimped an Eru will be compared to Ogre? I'll have semi-decent gear (crusty set, 55ac/hp rings)... setting aside frontal stun immunity, how much harder will the Ogre hit and how much more hp will an Ogre be working with? I don't intend on taking this guy to 60, generally will be leveling in groups and solo for fun here and there.

If you want a fashionquest SK go full dark elf.

If a class can pick Ogre, pick Ogre. /nod

ogre gonna be way stronker

Prob being able to slam is nicer for reverse kiting than anything else since it slows the chase a bit.

You are giving up a bit of attack and a few hundred hps (maybe) at the end game. Also not having to shrink after zoning into every dungeon is nice tho.

You will still be a great grind tank and decent solo’er; it won’t change much.

You wont be tanking dragons, FSI is nice for casting but late game SK life is just for FQ.

Go Erudite, make C'thulu proud.

Ultimate FQ is erudite vs DE

Best race is undeniably ogre (maybe iks)

Ogres also look adorable when turned into mini-ogres.

One thing to consider if you haven't made the toon yet is to put 5pts in AGI and some into STR.

The min-maxers will totally disagree with this but it enables you to go AC/HP/STA gear without being encumbered. Blood Ember is great AC for the money but with 60 STR (or whatever is base) upgrading from Crusty is going to be painful. If you are going to crank to lvl 60 and twink/raid to the moon it doesn't matter so min-max away.

Erudite look cooler imo
