Magician Race Question

Gnomes are awesome.

go gnome or go ghome

also, gnome + guise of the deceiver = the best

My first and highest caster on live or here was a dark elf wizard. I always wished I had chosen Erudite - for faction, higher base int, and height (My gnome necro is kind of annoying because first person view isn't as helpful unless i'm in skel form).

But all in all, the differences are incredibly minor between Gnome/High Elf/Dark Elf/Erudite. I can't see a reason to be a human caster - maybe because you can carry more loot and typically higher base STA?

I haven't seen hide to be immensely helpful, but some people say it is - that would be a good reason to be dark elf.

for enchanters hide makes sense because it's an easy way to end charm on purpose so that may be why you see dark elf enchanters - plus enchanters can become any race they want anyways.

for wizards it can make slight sense because hide is useful while medding afk without having to worry about invis dropping prematurely. also invis has cast timer/mana cost

for necros it makes sense because you're evil anyways, might as well go all out

for mages it's just stupid

well if we are gonna go the route of starting stats, then technically you'd want to go Human because of the high starting str/sta because its way way way easy to max out int. BUT who the ef wants to be a human lol

i'd say go Eru. hella less common, higher starting int, and your not KOS everywhere.

Once Kunark drops, Dark Elves and High Elves will be able to craft and wear their racial cultural armor (Adamantite & Mithril). I don't know whether other caster races have similar things available in classic but yeah- if you like the possibility of running around with chain graphic, then pick DE or HIE

Dark Elves are just cooler. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
