I created a level 1 Dark Elf Shadow Knight, buffed up, then entered Mines of Gloomingdeep and attacked 6 melee mobs. Next, I created a level 1 Ogre Shadow Knight, buffed up, then entered Mines of Gloomingdeep and attacked 6 melee mobs. Both races suffered from push back. The Ogre wasn't stunned from the front but he was still pushed back. I think immunity from melee stun seems essential for a tank on a classic server which doesn't have AA but when you can purchase that trait with AA it seems wise to pick a race you're going to enjoy looking at. Are you going to enjoy looking at an ogre who is big, ugly, and dumb? I'm sorry if that sounds racist but isn't racism a big part of EverQuest? I hear racist jokes about Gnomes all the time.
