Go erudite! Super intelligence for lots of spells and such! Or min max it as others have covered. Anyone care to theorize and lay out a min-max approach to an erudite SK? I’d be interested; for the red server so no 40% exp penalty. 0pp budget

From a stat perspective Erudite is the best SK with BiS Velious gear, since INT/WIS is harder to get on BiS tank gear, and INT/WIS buffs give you less stat points than the melee stat buffs. As you can see from the Magelo, his INT is still not maxed even as an Erusite, but all his melee stats are either maxed or will be maxed with buffs. Erudites also get +5 MR, which is better than the other SK races base resistances.

You would basically do 20 int as your starting stats, and you would need to make sure you have some agi gear on at all times.

However, I would say the racial regen from trolls or FSI from Ogres would give you more mileage than the extra bit of max mana you get from an Erudite. Shadowknights get quite a few ways to reduce their mana useage: Flowing Thought items, a lot of useful clickies, and Soul Defiler.

I did edit the Magelo for the Erudite SK to be a little more balanced, which some extra INT gear. You would do +5 AGI +15 INT as starting stats instead. With Primal Avatar and Enlightenment, you would have 255 AGI, 255 DEX, and 254 INT.

That's actually pretty nice. Forgot about that.

If you care anything about fashion while trying to gear higher end stay away from Erudites. While they have some cool armor like steelsilk, they look pretty awful at the high end. Their velious helm is bugged, custom in particular, and helms which have no graphic like crown of narandi will give you a naked looking purple head. You have to really look around for a helm with a graphic that will take on the same color as your gauntlets.

Dark Elf SK is the sexiest of all race/class combos

My Erudite SK is destroying group content on green.

Ordinarily I'd go ogre, which is a no brainer, but ogres can't join DMO.

FSI became a lot less great after the bash mechanic was changed. Instead of absolute immunity to bash interrupt, ogres are now about 30% "resistant" to it. Bash used to always stun no matter what, and had no inherent interrupt beyond the stun itself, but now it has three potential outcomes which appear to be equally common:

1) You get stunned. If you're not an ogre, being stunned also interrupts your casting.
2) Your casting is interrupted, whether or not the bash stuns.
3) The bash did not stun or interrupt, it merely dealt some damage.

Ogres are immune only to #1. #3 is irrelevant to anyone since it doesn't do anything, and #2 interrupts anyone, including ogres. Bash doesn't always stun, and doesn't always interrupt, so FSI really just cuts the chance to be interrupted by bash from (I assume) ~66% to ~33%. It's probably still the best race unless you're determined to solo a lot with your SK, but it doesn't blow the other races out of the water like it did when bash was a 100% interrupt for non-ogres and never for ogres.

What's the best race for being told to log off and get on a shared cleric to join the CH chain?

Erudite, wield a mace. /role and cast dark empathy every 10 seconds. Counts as cleric.
