    They look awesome (at least the old character models do) but I don't want to shrink 3x every time I cross a zone line. They're too damn tall to play on a laptop. I'm going to do a race change. I was going to do Iksar for the small AC bonus but they're kind of tall as well. Gnomes can't be warriors. Moogs is a halfling so I'm kind of used to that.

    What do you guys think? Wood Elf warrior? (Coost, if you're still out there...cheers, buddy, but you'll always be a Ranger to everybody else.) Go with Dwarf for the epic beard and somersault jump? Human? Do people still play those?

    wood elves are awesome.
    They are both small and medium.
    They are tall enough to get everywhere, handle steps, see over stuff, ect.
    They are also short enough to get anywhere small races can without ducking.

    Gnomes can be Warriors. An excellent choice both for the fun factor, and as the main ingredient in any pie, stew, or roast.

    Iksar, the Master Race.

    You could still have layers like an onion and use illusions. That's how I roll. Man, if only more illusions had animations for both weapon swings or other abilities.

    But is there not a benefit of being ogre, like cannot be stunned from front ?

    There is, which is great for non-warriors such as ogre beastlords and shamans. Warriors (all tanks, actually) now have AAs that make them immune to stun. So the racial innate bonus isn't really any use for ogre warriors above a certain level.
  9. moogs Augur

    Ability to keep illusions when zoning is one of those new things with EoK, right? Don't have the expansion yet.

    My tank mercenary is a gnome. Given how crappy he is as a tank, I would rather everyone know that gnomes flat out cannot be warriors.

    Halfling is the warr master race. You get hide (ghetto invis) sneak (talk to npcs you dont have facto for yet) 5% exp bonus that stack with your 10% for beeing warr/rog . Your small already. You get the awesome bellyrub if you use new modles
  16. Lianeb Augur

    Been a wood elf female warrior for 13 years. No issues here, and only chose that combo because there are not very many out there and I like to be different.

    Uhh, duh... Goblin.

    Commie Goblin = Inbreed, dumb, ugly, lives in mass stacked storage units with no power.

    Pure Goblin = Trickster, Int, crazy magic powerful, loner, wanderer and weapon master... but widdle.

    You can find in the EQ button illusions a Goblin clicky. It's like 400sc but if you are paying you get 500sc a month free! Free as you paying for it monthly but free none the less!

    All true, but I have seen you go splat!

    It's not so bad, when Rep get stomped on it's like a dot sized blood stain on a xxl cotton ball... You wonder if it felt anything.

    Then of course we all die, well, I prolly died sometime before that, twice... But we were never going to win without a ranger sacrifice.
  19. Zaviere Augur


    This could not be further from the truth. Vah Shir is the master race!
  20. Avory Augur

    Iksar are not the master race, in fact I believe they were a slave race. Don't be fooled.

    Before Green
    This is known as the Age
    of the Snake. The snake
    race known as Shissar,
    slithered upon Kunark.
    The Iksar had yet to
    unite. Our people had yet
    to learn the Black Arts and
    the ways of Fist and Tail.
    Divided, the Iksar were
    enslaved by the snakes.
    In the centuries before the Green, the Iksar were
    slaves of the Shissar
    They ruled from the ancient
    city of Chelsith which rested
    deep within the land now
    known as The Overthere.
    From there would sprout much
    evil. The Iksar were
    tortured like Frogs and
    suffered at the hands of
    the Shissar. The Iksar who
    showed genius were to help

    the snakes in their dark
    rites. These few were the
    seeds of rebellion. The
    Iksar began to plot a
    revolt, but a greater force
    would strike first. The
    Shissar were an arrogant
    race. The power bestowed by
    the gods was not enough.
    They made pacts with other
    gods and demigods. They
    found the rifts of time and space and used them to
    gather magic items once
    held by the guardians of
    the planes. The Shissar's
    disloyalty and blasphemous
    pride would bring the wrath
    of the gods upon them. No
    power could stop the force
    to come. A green cloud
    formed in the skies above
    Kunark. The cloud began to
    descend upon the land. From

    its green core the face
    of death began to form. It
    was of no god they knew.
    It opened its giant maw
    and spoke in tongues
    unknown. From the mouth of
    death rushed forth a green
    mist. The Shissar shamans
    began to cast spells in
    hopes of shielding their
    city and the necromancers
    began to assault the mist with great spells. All were
    futile. The mist rushed
    forth. The first snakes to
    be swallowed by the mist
    had their scales and flesh
    rot and fall from their
    bones. Horrid screams of
    suffering could be heard
    from within the mist. A river
    of flesh and blood flowed.
    The Iksar stood and gazed
    upon the gristle that was

    once the Shissar. With the
    Green Death came the
    liberation of the Iksar.
    The season is now 0 A.G.,
    After Green.
