Ogre SK or Troll SK?

Malrubius · #1 04-15-2010, 05:14 PM

Which of these two races would people recommend for a Shadowknight, and why?

Edit...fwiw...
RACE STR STA AGI DEX WIS INT CHA BONUS
Ogre 140 127 70 70 67 70 42 20
Troll 118 114 83 75 60 62 45 20

And there is regen (trolls) or frontal stun immunity (ogres) to consider.

Just look at those numbers. Key stats of Str Stam and Int are + 43 for ogre.

But, on p99 regen is stronger than classic for trolls, a friend at lvl 25 reported +5 per tic to me. On classic im pretty sure it was +1 then they changed it to scale by lvl.

You will be in a spot where you must have a shrink to pull or move more often as an ogre than troll.

The clincher for me to play an ogre is...I went from 34-44 on live as an sk in lguk and only died 1ce thanks to FD, to be unstunnable while facing mobs trying to FD is huge. Then again on live I was an elf not an ogre so mebe it's not that huge, and I have heard the unstunnable front ogre is not coded on p99 currently.

trolls are cooler to look at, less fun to play (watching yourself run as a troll gets really, really boring after about 5 minutes)

ogres, on the other hand, look super fucking cool while running. especially when shrunken. since guise no longer drops, i'd have to say go ogre. hands down.

Trolls get more respect imo. I see a troll sk, and I bow. I see an ogre sk and Im like "meh".

I see troll sk's and I think lol 5 FR

That resist is the breaker of the tie IMO

I like my ogre, although he's only like level 8 currently cause of the outage. And i'm pretty sure the ogre not being stunned from the front IS in game, its just melee stuns only.

If you have knowledge about how ogre frontal stun mechanics should work, please reply to the open thread about it http://project1999.org/forums/showthread.php?t=3144
