Question about racial benefits for tanks

[Ranlron swiftsong]

I heard that regeneration is very nice for tanks,but in the long run,i want to know if any of these have a major advantage over the other.

I've played only up to level 25 as a ogre shadow knight.

What i heard about ogres,is that they are hard to stun.
They also have a fair amount of hit points and stamina.

Is this advantage big enough to choose it over troll race?

[Fulcrum]

I've always seen it as sort of a personal preference.

Ogres generally cannot be stunned from the front, trolls regenerate a little damage.

And if you're using the old models, they both do 'the scratch'. Regardless, unless you're really into pinching every point and ability till they scream, I think it's a wash.

Then again, if you intend to solo more than group, having a little regen would cut down the downtime by a fractional amount.

[Mukluk4]

The little bit of regen can be made up with AA's and gear. Unable to be stunned from the front cannot.

Ogre FTW!

Question:What about noob quest items? sometimes some racials have benfeit of better quest items early on.

[ChaosSlayerZ]

that will depend on a server you playing on

on P99, only like crudites have any newbie quests to speak off.

on custom servers, this won't matter much

[Ranlron swiftsong]

Didn't trolls iksars and ogres have a penalty in xp that made it so you had to grind longer?

[Mukluk4]

That got removed a long time ago.

[ChaosSlayerZ]

those race and class penalties are very much alive on P99

good luck playing something like Ogre SK with 45% Xp penalty

I'm on the ez server and i chose an ogre warrior in the end.

God i love the speed on the epic 1.0 for ogre warriors,it hits like a truck.

ive also heard the iksars have a boost in natural AC when it comes to fighters due to their "scales" is this true also and if it is for lets say a warrior i know its personal choice but having ac, regen, or no stun what would be the best to survive?

[Caryatis]

The iksar ac bonus is pretty weak...

displayed += 12;
int iksarlevel = GetLevel();
iksarlevel -= 10;
if (iksarlevel > 25)
	iksarlevel = 25;
if (iksarlevel > 0)
	displayed += iksarlevel * 12 / 10;

Between 12 and 42 AC. With the new stun code, ogres are def the best choice imo.

[Fulcrum]

Yea, the Iksar AC bonus is a little weak.... especially if they're still barred from wearing most plate armor... or did they fix that sometime after I'd stopped paying attention to live servers?

[ChaosSlayerZ]

with Luclin, the "no plate for Iksar theme" was dropped, as difference in AC between chain and plate started to become really big
