Is Dark Elf a good race for SKs?

[Fazlazen]

From best to worse:

Ogre, troll, human, erudite, DE, Iksar.

Iksar are last in kunark because they usually have lower AC than any other SKs.

Iksar post-velious become 2nd, arguably first, but I still think 2nd because of the stun immunity which is just so big when casting that FD!

Coolness factor:

Erudite!

A Female DE in Velious gear is the best looking plate gear in the game.

Perhaps, but I'd love to get the male helmet instead of the female one!

In my opinion, for looks and "feel," Dark Elf just seems to fit the bill. Everything about a Dark Elf just screams Shadowknight. That's what makes it fun for me.

I'd love to have frontal stun immunity. As a tank, that would be a big help. I do like to craft, though, and the high intelligence lends itself well to that.

Regarding the Darkness line, isn't the best reason to use Clinging the cast time? Clinging is 1.75 and Engulfing is 2.45. That makes it bit easier to land during combat, or to tag a runaway mob. Yes, Engulfing might be best if you're using it to pull something to fear. Clinging is "good enough" in tight places where I can take over snare duty.
