Shadowknight, what race is best?

[bartillo]

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?

[Brut]

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.

Troll/Iksar regen is like having a permanent Fungi Tunic at level 60. If you already have one, it's like wearing two. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

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.

[theaetatus]

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.

[Raavak]

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.

[theaetatus]

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