What's so great about Iksar?

My point was he can, not how

And my point was by slam/bash. Boom boom.

Played a troll sk on red, trying to get any later game spells off against just a single mob was the goddamned pits. Idunno how you people stomach playing non-ogres, maybe it's just a case of not knowing how much better it can be.

Ogre's and Trolls are just ugly looking. Who wants to stare at that all day?

Or perhaps it's a case of not being retarded and timing your casts after swings? To prevent interupts from push and bash.

IksarSK begins Botb fight against Bruti-OgreSK.
IksarSK ends up with title "The Grave Lord".
Bruti-OgreSK makes dumb post on boards.
IksarSK laughs.

I lost to Sentenza mostly because of the gear disadvantage. Not to take anything away from that French asshole, he's a good jouster and we both employed the same strats during the fights but there were so many misses on him. Myu had BIS everything but VP. Sentenza had hoshkar boots, crown of rile (I think) and was wearing slimeblood on his hands. Hosh boots mean you can wear a belt with real stats and I'm sure he had some other VP drops (pulsating gem?) so it was going to be an uphill battle.

Perfectly capable of doing that, but still there's plenties of convoluted nonsense to avoid something that is not a factor for ogres whatsoever.

People being really hostile about this btw, terms "noob" and "retarded" flung about nonstop. Are Iksar SKs the classic rangers of p99 or something? Little nudge and they immediately get bananas upset?

Frontal stun immunity is awesome and also having a million more sta seems relevant. I actually think it's bs that iksar a kept the Ac bonus when they were able t wear velious plate, but obv Ac bonus and regen is also sweet.

Speaking of how much Ac matters. Can anyone point me to good thread on how Ac works? It is not obvious to me how much difference it makes. Also soft/hard caps for ac?

ogre > iksar > halfling > dark elf.

Following that order of precedence and you'll usually be set just fine as far as min/max :P

On P99? There's been a few parses done but no formula posted for whatever reason :P

Cause people tend to tell anyone who rolls a warrior, SK or Shaman that ogre is the only choice and everyone else is dumb.

When infact, other races can and do play to the same level of efficiency and power, and in certain cases - a la iksars - exceed. Ogre is just a faceroll race. Don't need to think, just cast. Other races sure you've got to wait 0.5 seconds for a round to occur then cast your spell... But instead you can get regen and/or AC or you don't need to shrink ever, etc.
