SK race

[Kope]

Ogre for the min/max of stats and FSI
Erudite if you want to be a better caster
Iksar if you want to be master race, look the best, have more ac than everyone else + regen and have a 1h epic at the end of velious.

Proof? The patch notes I saw had it patched during Velious, not at the start.

Also, if you think you'll be the only hybrid on the server LFG the day the hybrid penalty is taken out... lol

Nope. Velious was originally released December 6th, 2000. The equivalent here is August 2nd, 2015.

Hybrid penalties weren't removed until this patch ... on January 14th 2001.

So, at best hybrid penalties won't be removed until 39 days after, and that's if the dev team can keep to the original timeline. Historically they haven't done that with every patch, so it might be even longer.

My bad then, was told differently.

And how could I forget to mention Iksar SK's, especially with Greenmist unlocking in the Velious era. Fun quest.

Iksar SK ftw!

As to your first question, IMO SK's don't errr do all that well in Velious.

Just play what you like to look at. I went troll sk for stats and regen, but I didn't enjoy the size and having to play in first person to see the mob. I then rerolled dark elf sk and it was a great decision.

Correction.

EverQuest Race doesn't matter.

We get additional spells that buff our class.
XP penalty is removed for hybrids.
Cool down abilities are given to us.
2handed dmg bonus "corrected".
We still have the best instant agro in the game.

How is it you feel we do not do well in Velious?
