Coercer race?

[Hatrix]

<p>With the new racial traits what makes the best Coercer?</p>

[Obsidiann]

pretend they don't exist and choose whichever you want.none of them really make that big of a difference anyways. Everyone overreacted when racial changes were announced.

Racials aren't all that. That being said Erudites do get aura vision which is handy for spotting potential mage/priest pets. Mind you that there are plenty of lists about the net (some are stickied in this very forum) that list mage/priest pets by tier so its not that huge of a thing. It's just nice not having to check a list, you just look for the mobs that glow.

I chose Arasi, glide is helpfull as well as unseelie form (yes you can sorta float around stuff easier) but over all I think everyone gets a fair shake ...

<p>I chose Erudite for the Aura Sense. As pointed out elsewhere, if you have no mob knowledge or guide at hand, it is a great help.</p>

You could go for looks and choose an Arasai! I love how my arasai can be made over to colour-match whatever Im wearing at a particular point in time. There's a new robe in RoK that looks nice, swirly blacks and dark reds. Goes great with my red eyes and hair, and dark red wings with black trimmings <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> Plus being a teeny tiny fairy dragging around a massive wurm in Kylong Plains is amusing <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

Me loving being a ratonga, Coercer, that +15% move while invis is great <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

<p>I chose Sarnak for RP reasons, but I love the movement speed buffs.  I have the 5% permabuff and the 50% for 36 seconds buff is awesome too.  It stacks with SoW totems, so I can have 36 seconds of 79% runspeed every five minutes... <i>very</i> handy (this is true for Kerra too, I believe).  </p><p>One downside to Sarnak is that they are really tall, so you'll often find yourself crouching in dungeons.  The Ratonga illusion we get at 30 is a good antidote to this problem.</p><p>Oh, I can also breathe fire.  'Nuf said.  </p>

Ogre, and I enjoy every minute I play him <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

I picked Sarnak for the mini-SoW and the 2% less chance to be resisted tradition.  The 5% movespeed is also great.For what it's worth, I'm a PvP Coercer, so the mini-SoW, lowered chance to be resisted, and passive movespeed are all very nice.

Fae because it's funny seeing a wisp of a character controlling huge monsters to do my bidding. The only reason why I did a few quests in Thundering Steppes was to charm up a giant and have it stomp around the docks and scare the new players.

I went with Erudite long ago mainly for Aura Sense to easily detect those mage/priest mobs and for the wisp that we could summon before (it would also trigger our reactives if hit by any AoE). Now they have taken that wisp away <img src="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/images/smilies/2e207fad049d4d292f60607f80f05768.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" width="15" height="15" /> But now I got an extra encounter damage spell, increased casting speed and I can float like a Fae!

I chose Human a long time ago. After they changed I really like the Human Diplomacy skill. It is an aggro radius reducer. I have used it with a lot of success in Runnyeye pulling named heroics without getting an add.
