Default Shadowknight, what race is best?

So Iksar, ogre, or troll? Which is the best for SK?

Ive heard you want to go ogre /troll because they get a 2h bash (slam) and can wear plate.
is this true?
Also would the regen of the iskar / troll put it above the ogre even though ogre cant be stunned from the front?

I like all three races so I want to play whichever is the best for a sk.

Iksar, ogre, or troll?

Ogre of course!

- massive size to irritate inferior species who cant see the ghouls from behind you
- highest base str/sta
- stun immunity ultimate racial trait in game
- bigger sized weapons than troll/ikky
- doesnt swing said weapons like a ridiculous goof holding a sword the first time in his life (ikkys!)
- doesn't squat when you oughta be sitting down (ikkys!!)
- best face ever (see avatar)

Lifetap compensates regen imo. Stun immunity best racial trait ever.

The best race is the one you think looks the coolest in armor. Don't be an ugly if you don't like the way an ugly looks.

Ogre if you're min/maxing, no question.

Troll if you want to look good. The regen is nice but minimal.

No other choices really.

They are somewhat different play styles. DE's have a larger manapool, which is good especially if you are going to fearkite. Ogres and trolls are going to be more pure tanks.

Mana pool means nothing when you're fear kiting, unless you're using an entire mana bar each kite, which is unlikely.

Ogre is the best by far simply due to stun immunity.

If something can be an ogre, the answer is always ogre. Then troll cause their stats are almost as good as ogre and they got regen. Then its human, not so KOS and meh combat stats. Then eruidite as they are slightly worse than human for combat stats. Then iksar cause they cant wear plate, they move above human in velious. Then dark elf, cause they are slightly worse combat stats than erudite and are KOS everywhere.
