I went Ogre because I really dislike being stunned. I would have done Iksar if I could tolerate being stunned.

It happens very rarely and it’s really is just an interrupt. Not a big deal on casting 1.5 second aggro spells. Death Peace is only 1 second.

Given that SKs are literally the worst raiding class in the game, the act of leveling one to 60 is itself basically a fashion statement. Playing a max level SK is essentially saying, "I don't really care about min/maxing, I'm here to have fun." That being the case, you might as well play what looks and feels best to you. For most players that's probably a Human, DE or Erudite. But maybe others genuinely prefer the look of an Iksar or a fat Ogre/Troll. Just go with your own individual preference. The extra stats of a large race or FSI/regen are in no way necessary, especially if you can afford modest twinking.

I just don't like the physical part of being stunned. Not being able to move and the sound it makes. I played an Iksar SK on live to uhh 80 I think and don't remember stun being an issue for me.

Coming to P99 I made an Iksar SK and could not stand being stunned. It happened enough to make it not fun. I dont raid or anything. Just play for fun.

I'm not saying Ogre is better for everyone. Just what I chose and why.

It sucks being an Ogre in tight Dungeon and getting around Neriak

This quote should be prefaced in every racial debate thread where people are praising FSI for all it's "benefits".

You prolly had stun resist gear? 88 is pretty high and a few expats so u prolly forget the lower lvls and revel in the superior memories.

I know i did. Wizard critz are my best memory. Not really a thing here.

Not every guild throws 70+ max geared characters at raid content. When you’re doing NToV with 18-24 to maybe 30 characters … having a warrior front line tanking can make or break the success threshold when you’re operating the bare minimum number of clerics to roll a chain for a long ass fight. Extra clerics? Stoutness of the tank matters less. Extra dps? Fights end in a fraction of the time. Extra of both? Who cares - p99 raiding never was challenging if you have a Zerg.

Regardless, for content tankable by knights, a paladin is going to soak the hits just as well while also having some neato tricks the SK won’t.

Vex was more or less correct for most raid content.
