Personally I have a special place in my hearty for DE, as my first character was a DE SHD. However a close second is Iksar.
I see way to many people saying froglocks. Worst day in history was when they were made a player race. Frogs are for killing and eating.
I love the Guktans as playable race myself, but "froglok monk" is for sure an outrageous abomination that goes against the lore about and description of Guktans ("clumsy on land" etc.).
It also says they are study and can cross great distances with each leap, meaning they have very strong legs which would be good for kicking. Well, guess the lore makes sense.
Depends on graphics. For both classic and Luclin graphics, I choose barbarian. I just like 'em. For classic, ogres are awesome. Just big, massive, sacks of flesh. The slimmer, beachbody version of Luclin isn't as good in my opinion. They are followed by trolls and barbarians. For Luclin, I think trolls WOULD be best, but their stupid 1-handed swing for 2-handed weapons annoys me. Instead, I think barbarians are the best.
If I ever made a Monk I'd be strongly tempted to go Froglok just like I'd make a Wood Elf Beastlord just for the visuals
We used to have a old guild mate whom would create a bunch of gnome illusions and pass them out to everyone during raids. Was byfar the funniest crap you would imagine having 50 + of them.
