Would you play same race?

[Darya]

<p>I want to play a templar, but I'm really torn on the races.  I'm leaning towards high elf or Fae.  I know that stat wise, race doesn't make much difference but I'm kind of addicted to Glide on the fae, even though I find high elf's a bit better aesthetically.  </p><p>If you had to recreate your templar, would you stay the same race, or would you change?  Are Fae really the only sensible option if starting up these days?</p>

It's fairly safe to say the biggest reason I'm playing this game is because I like my Fae so much. The wings, and permanent safe fall are just fun. I jump off of Kelethin out of habit now. If I played another race, I wouldnt last very long <img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

I love my fae templar but when I started raiding I wished I'd made an elf... I'm crotch height to most other races so in a mass of people it isn't the best view.

I would stay with a tall race.  Its nice being able to see over everyone.

<p>I just started playing again about 2 weeks ago.  I had a ratonga templar, but she was only level 24 and since I was pretty much a newbie after not playing for over 2 years, I made a new halfling templar.  (they didn't have SOGA models when I played last, and I adore SOGA halflings)  I tried a fae and while I like them a lot, I liked the halfling more and felt she fit the character I had in mind a lot more.  I don't find myself missing safefall as mych as I thought.</p><p> So I would say play the race you like best, and that fae are definitely a great race, but definitely not the only option when starting out<img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

<p>Ratonga templars are the best, you dont have to be good all the time.</p><p>Plus plate looks nice on female rats</p>

It's all about glide.

[Spoott]

when i play my fae, glide gets me in trouble at times.  It does help too.

My templar is a gnome. Normally the height isn't a problem, but in raids I use the guise of the deceiver to switch to dark elf illusion. (missing mask HQ reward)there are also the collection quest rewards that consume a bone of that race to give you an illusion in that zone.

[PRALL]

<p>Like the gnome said! </p><p> I also use my HQ mask to go dark elf when I need some height. However, as a Dwarf I look way better in plate armor. <img src="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/images/smilies/e8a506dc4ad763aca51bec4ca7dc8560.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" width="15" height="15" /></p><p>And yes, I would make another Dwarf. The only way I wouldn't is if I was going to roleplay with the wife and needed to pick a similar race to hers.</p>

My Templar is Wood Elf, my PvE Warden is High Elf.   If I had it to do over, I'd make my Templar High Elf and my Warden Wood Elf, just for the RP.  My PvP Warden and Defiler are both Dark Elf...which I wouldn't change, that's just perfect for both the roles of Evil Healer.
